Devotion

Malaysia

A special moment captured during prayer session at the `altar'. This is as close as we could get with a 70-200 lens, avoiding interference and respect during praying session. Even though the people there are used to tourists pointing their cameras and poking their noses around and in the temple, I feel it's only a respect to keep to our boundaries when taking pictures. Even so, I am not sure if it is right to take this shot. It's a sacred moment to give honour and respect. Take a look at another shot of a man beating the drum. It's the invitation for prayer.
