[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Originally, Vietnamese had no religion. They did not pray for deities, gods or relics, but only their ancestors. Up to now, after four thousand years, they would continue to pray for their forefather besides "imported" Gods.

Those incenses burned in Tet would bring their wishes in the Lunar New Year to heaven, where the ancestors eyeing and supporting them in every step in their life.

Hello Huy,

I've just noticed your photos and enjoy this one. You chose a good viewpoint to get so close to the urn, and the glowing sticks and smoke give a good atmosphere.
Thanks
Brian

Wonderful light and atmosphere you've captured here, Huy. Good composition too and a nice note. Great job!

Well done and best regards from England,
