Every Sunday before church we gather at 3:30 PM to pray. There is no doubt that this ministry of prayer is the leading factor in any good that happens later in the evening.
I love watching the little ones just starting out.
This little guy looks like he is saying a prayer before he trys to stand :)

A person praying in a temple in Cijin
My girlfriend found it hilarious when I told her I wanted to visit some "temples" while visiting - I had no idea that there would be so many, everywhere. Needless to say I got to see many temples.
Photographers take note that when taking photos of the temples and their interiors, it is a mark of respect to request and thank the god(s) for permission to take photos of their temple by prayer. My girlfriend and her friends very quickly told me off for not doing this the first time I took a photo.
Just a simple, black and white image.
I did something a little different in processing, I actually turned the clarity down. I think it works petty well for this image.
If you're interested, I started a blog. Yes, I'm aware this was the trend three years ago. Apparently, I'm a little behind the times. But, oh well. I don't really care.
Please ignore the crazy, tiny, barking girl in the background. :)
