It must be fate or a truly strange coincidence that this week's PhotoFriday.com Weekly Challenge theme turned out to be none other than...

Burn

Burn - Edric Hsu

"Burn" ~ Edric Hsu

Pictures size: 480 x 640 pixels

Digital Camera: Fujifilm Finepix F-420

This image of burning joss paper "money" (entry #118) was taken EXACTLY a year ago, on 23rd September 2004...

On this particular day, my brother Eric and I had accompanied Father back to his hometown in Fuzhou, China, and we visited our ancestral clan hall and paid our respects to our departed ancestors from generations ago...

And part of the ritual was to burn paper offerings, which represent currencies of the spirit world, for our relatives in the spirit world...
