Petaling Street pt.8
Petaling Street/Chinatown is more than the cheap shopping. Walking around the greater area shows you many interesting things. There's a wet market, temples, little antique shops, even a dentures shop (I'll post that tomorrow.)
Here's one of the 2 guardian statues at the entrance of a Chinese temple. I took a picture of this one instead of the other because he looked invitingly at me. And because of him, I entered the temple. The scent of insense welcomed me as I looked up and saw them hanging from the ceiling. Sat on a bench for a couple of minutes. Got up, walked out and continued my frolics down the street.

What a beautiful statue. So colorful! Not at all like the drab gray and bronze statues one sees here.
its really very beautiful and colorful statue.
Of COURSE I miss ya EDDIE!!! Glad you could tell! And I was almost AFRAID to venture into the realm of "them hanging" but am pleasantly and aromaly surprised! Rich "jewel" tones in this shot...really! Love it! ;-)
So many fantastic visual beauties in just one street. Well done Edwin.
Guardian figures are usually very imposing, as is this one. Not as fierce as some tho. Great colours.
cette sculpture est sublime. vraiment l'art asiatique est vraiment magnifique, cela me fait penser aux oeuvres de Park Chan-Soo.
this sculpture is sublime. really Asian art is really splendid, that makes me think of works Park Chan-Soo.
This sure gets your attention!
Seems like it would be a very complex scent environment, that market...
I can see why you stopped for a moment, such a commanding presence. Gorgeous photo.
