Wishing Muslims a Happy Awal Muharram or Maal Hijrah 1434 / 2012. It is the New Year on the Islamic Calendar. Photographed this evening at Masjid Sultan Suleiman, Jalan Kota Raja, Klang.
After weeks of gloomy weather, it was sunshine and blue skies this Deepavali morning. The magnificent Sri Mahamariamman Temple in Chinatown Kuala Lumpur started life as a little attap-thatched temple in 1885.
Happy Deepavali! Olympus OM-D, ISO 200, f11, 1/400 sec.
Priest from Madurai, India. I photographed him as we conversed about his job. When you talk to people, seek their permission, they are more relaxed and I think that is reflected in his charming smile.
