Smoke was billowing from a large incense burner placed in the middle of the approach to the temple. The incense sticks that fueled the incense burner never ran out, as worshippers kept coming to the temple. It was as if a fire had broken out. I could see people standing around the incense burners. The sunlight was so strong that the people and buildings on the approach were all silhouetted.

Watching from a distance, I felt as if I were watching a shadow play without a plot. The silhouetted people were moving slowly on the stage. It was quite fun to watch them while imagining what the plot was about.
