the shelter of the auspicious dragons

Tin Hau Temple, Ap Lei Chau, Hong Kong

I'm told that the 8 characters can be translated as,
"Under the shelter of the auspicious dragons,
one will be protected (safe) on sea and on land."

I guess the picture title is an abuse of the translation!

Is it disrespectful to say that they look like dragons from "The Far Side"?
