I stopped by one of our local temples for a bit a few Saturdays ago.\u00a0 The small low key festival reminded me of the olden days, when there were so many trees on the property and things were definitely not as busy around the Snellville Scenic Highway area.\u00a0 Thanks to the Karen community for coming out to support and perform some cultural dances!<\/p>\n

Also, for those who have followed along all this time, you’re probably wondering why some of the photos look a bit different.\u00a0 It’s because on this day I decided to bring out some ancient cameras, the Nikon D40 and Nikon D70! Yep, my very first DSLR that I used bring to this very temple way back in 2004.\u00a0 Which was an astounding 21 years ago…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
