Before storm
Goddess of Mercy Temple : Also called the Kwan Yin Teng, is one of the oldest Chinese temples in Penang. Built in 1801 by early immigrant settlers from China, the building is decorated with intricately crafted dragons and a pair of stone sculptured lions which are said to be its guardians. Undoubtedly the most popular Chinese temple in Penang, the Kuan Yin Teng, is flocked by pilgrims and followers all year round, particularly on the first and fifteenth day of each lunar month.
Me and Leon were walking around taking photos of temples and churches and mosques for my photography exhibition that following week. It was a very rainy day, and this was taken right before it rains.
Location : Penang Island, West Malaysia.
Gear : Nikon D50, AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED.
