25-JAN-2005 Terry

Jan 25 - thaipusam

A shot taken at the Thaipusam Festival in Singapore. This is at the temple where the devotees prepare to walk the 4km to the second temple, I spent most of the day between the 2 temples and on the walk, and have a load of images to show for it.

There are more shots and a more detailed description of Thaipusam HERE (Some may find a couple of the shots a little gruesome).

Had a really tough time picking a favourite shot – here are a few that nearly made it.
