About I was sad to move away from the signmaker's house. Here is one of my last shots of it. He erected a strange Buddhist "shrine" to conjugal love, with an always burning light (lower center) and various hortatory signs. He's a great advertisement for it, though, as he and his wife (both well over 80) seem like real sweethearts.

Hi Roger,I find this photo very appealing. The business and the many different signs create a very harmonious image, and the textures and wooden shrine create a fairytale-like image. Well captured.

Cheers,

Hugo

Rhis 35 Skopar is reall razor sharp and you get the bets out of it, I think I MUST have this lens one day. This shrine looks so strange to me, so different from Europe, like from another galaxis.

Hi Roger,

I do like this, I'd chop the white grill off the bottom, and definitely use PS to lose the red arrow ;-)

The rest of this is excellent, I'm really glad to see you uploading the good stuff again.

Rob, I agree about the arrow, particularly as it points to the offertory box for "voluntary contributions" with a promise that your marriage will be blessed as a result. I wonder how much income it actually generates...

Good shot Roger, the arrow is somewhat out of place.

The word 'cluttered' came to mind, Roger!!
I'd just have to tidy it up a bit. Clear the decks, so to speak!!
Good clean shot, though ~ as ever!
Best regards, Chris
