About the top....



So this picture was taken in Shanghai at the City Buddhist Temple. These red hangings are small prayer / memento scrolls where the monk will write a message for you and it you make an offering. The offering isn't so much to god (they don't believe in a single god, per say) but a help in focusing your thoughts.
.
At least that is as much as I understood, but the red hangings were beautiful. So if I offended a Buddhist or anything with this - my apologies.
