It has a lot of character, and I took these photos on a clear sunny day when it was looking freshly painted. Nice&#33;&#10;&#10;According to Wikipedia&#58; Tua Pek Kong &#40;&#22823;&#20271;&#20844; or D&#224;b&#243; G&#333;ng&#41; was a man named Zhang Li &#40;&#24352;&#29702;&#41; from the Hakka clan. His Sumatra-bound boat was struck by wind and accidentally landed on Penang island of Malaysia, which at that time had only 50 inhabitants. After his death, the local people began worshipping him and built the Tua Pek Kong temple there. Today Tua Pek Kong is worshipped by Malaysian Chinese throughout the country. &#40;Refer http&#58;&#47;&#47;en.wikipedia.org&#47;wiki&#47;index.html&#63;curid&#61;5842195&#41;"<div class="commentBlock font12"> <span class="author"><a href="http://photosynth.net/userprofilepage.aspx?user=BlueHippo">BlueHippo</a></span> <span class="font10">Over 1 year ago</span> <div class="commentText">Thanks for the feedback, it was fun to make.
