Earth Day passed, then it will be Happy Labor Day!

Tua Pek Kong(a name derived from pronunciation of buddha in chinese dialect) is the oldest temple in Sibu, sitting at confluence of Rajang and Igan Rivers to symbolize protection to the town. The Buddhist organization is apparently doing very well, having built a tall pagoda and temple, with all its granite and marble walls and crafted decorations. This is a circular arch way which acts as a nice frame to outline the shelter unit. Some crafted carvings on walls and fences have adapted local cultural such as traditional Iban dances, weaving and longhouse work to reflection Sarawak's unique mix of multi-racial society. Quite a progressive change for a buddhist stream of thoughts. Thank you for viewing.

Very nice architecture and artwork Bill. I like the way the arch is used to frame this temple.I almost thought you made HPP with partial bw conversion. So contrasting and you did really well here. Top quality and you should be proud of. Best regards. Jusni

Hie Bill,

Nice arch depicting journey towards the inside of the temple. Well Tua pek kong isn't any Buddha but he's a deity in Chinese Taoist mythology :D Nice way to present but i think it's a little dark..
