It was my second visit to Malaysia,in 2011 and a strong factor pushed me for it was none other than the Chinese New year.In Malaysia the festival being celebrated greatly in Penang - a beautiful Island town with a unique historic touch and multi ethnic and cultural background.Filled with lion dances,parades,decorations and countless tourists the town was so vibrant and that's the perfect moment to feed my camera.
Kek Lok Si temple an old Buddhist Pagoda/Monastery in a place called "Ayer Itam" is a key-feature in Chinese Festival.Every year it organizes "Festival of Lights" where around 10,000 lanterns are lit simultaneously throughout the temple premises.The insects attracted by the lights are less than the photographers who visit this place during this time.

It is always challenging to take unique shots during these festivals competing with the other excellent photographers from all over the world,and i had a nice experience shooting the Chinese New Year 2011.
Though i miss this years' (2012) festival,however i ,
WISH ALL OF YOU A VERY HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2012
