Chinese New Year lights at Kek Lok Si Temple

Kek Lok Si Temple lights

Visiting Kek Lok Si when I'm in Penang for Chinese New Year has become a bit of a tradition. This is a short and sweet throwback to my 1 week holiday in Malaysia back in February. Being the Chinese New Year period, the city was lined with a heap of red lanterns. The colour red being a lucky colour in Chinese culture. Since the road up to the temple was pretty packed, we decided to walk along the streets until we got to a good vantage point to take in all the colourful lights of the temple. Over the years, the temple grounds have grown. Construction for the giant Guan Yin statue is finally done. The fujifilm XT10 and 27mm f2.8 kit did a great job taking fairly sharp photos given the low lighting conditions. Combined with some Lightroom magic, I think the shots turned out quite nicely.
