Sanctuary of the Souls

2008.07.04
A typical Christian Tomb lying on the entrance of cemetery. I used some SOFT FOCUS effects to make the surrounding a bit blur.

The thing I like about this cemetery is that the tombs are shady with the Kokko trees around. Chinese folklore says, it is very auspicious to give some shades to the passed one.

Some people do not take care of the tombs for some reasons. I have seen hundreds of ruined tombs there. I really feel bad for those who rest in these tombs. Are they thrown out???

This tomb becomes like a pile of trash. For Chinese people, it's a MUST to clean and paint. Making tombs look beautiful brings us massive good luck and prosperity.

This is called PHILOSOPHY of LIFE. Do you ever realize yourself? One day, we all have to sleep in such place. Forever and Peacefully.

This is the tomb of our clan. The Sirname LIM represents the shape of 9 Dragons. The description says "9 Dragons Lim Clan". Proud to be a Lim successor.

People:

Sorry for my absentee. I am busy down to earth and I could not manage to update my blog regularly. In addition, my mood is not energetic enough to write the descriptions of the photos. I know many of my friends are devoted to see my photos with edifying descriptions. And to write these, I need to clear my mind and need to find some time off. To be honest, I also need a cup of coffee beside me. ;)

Today is FRIDAY. Needless to say, I have been overwhelmed with weekend mood. Even though tomorrow isn’t a holiday for me, the name FRIDAY itself articulates the connotation of FREEDOM and RELAX.

So, I have decided to compensate my loyal friends who had been tirelessly visiting my photoblog and waiting for the new post. This time, I have a strong will to come up with unusual post. For those who believe that cemetery is an unlucky place, please accept my kind apology. For Chinese people, this is such an auspicious place. This is the place where our ancestors live. So, take pleasure in Sanctuary of the Souls…
