Taiwan 2024 - Temple Dedication, Incense

There's something about incense that makes for a good picture, in my opinion.  In the Far East obviously it's a big part of worship life, but I well remember this being a big part of the counter culture life of the 60's and 70's here in the States.  Even in a little town like Orange, Texas (pop. 25,000 at the time) we had a "head shop" on McArthur Drive called Menefee's where you could buy black lights, black light posters, and lots of psychedelica ...plus many flavors of incense to mask the smell of marijuana wherever it was smoked.

Many other photos featuring incense (of the religious variety) can be found in the blog here.
