[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In Kuching, we are now celebrating the close of CNY2009 and Feb9 also happens to be lunar eclipse night. Now it is 5.37pm and the sky is very cloudy, so what is the chance to see the moon and eclipse? Not good. This is taken along the oldest main street called Jalan Padungan and displaying the color of red/yellow is just perfect for CNY celebration mood. The Chinese and English labels on the shopfront will tell you what is sold here. It is quite expensive product but delicious to have for events like CNY; it is also a popular gift product for festive seasons. The street is very busy, with many wires and cars parked, so I took a shot above the car line of sight. The wire is visible here. The shops dated back to pre-war period. Most tourists will take a stroll along the waterfront ending up here for good food and some sundry shopping, in any case, to shoot the famous cat, you will pass this street. We shall be having family dinner soon at 6.30pm, specially prepared for this event. A Chinese tradition passed down for generations, origin from China. Regards, bill

Hi Bill

At first the Chinese English looks like obscenities. But on closer inspection it's fine. Wonderful saturated colours, with the reds & yellows predominating. Tfs!

Hello Bill,
Great mood, color combination and mood
