There is always a time and a place for a quiet break, a time to say thank you and a moment to make a wish and be thankful for the one whose hand you hold.

Wong Tai Sin Temple is a well known shrine and major tourist attraction in Hong Kong.[1] It is dedicated to Wong Tai Sin, or the Great Immortal Wong. The 18,000-m²Taoist temple is famed for the many prayers answered: “What you request is what you get” (有求必應) via a practice called kau cim. The temple is located on the southern side of Lion Rock in the north of Kowloon.

Back behind the camera after a few weeks away.  At least it’s in time for the seasonal color change.  If only this meant winter wasn’t coming I’d be a lot happier about it.   Fall opportunities to shoot have been cut short this year due to other pressing commitments, so I’ll be working in the next few weeks to deliver tips and tricks for the coming winter months.  Yes it’s cold, but it’s also a great time to catch a sunrise without crwaling out of bed at 4am.  And just as kids light up with the thought of Christmas being around the corner, so should photographers as the winter months give many gifts of light, environments and new perspectives on our favourite subjects.
