This is our entry inΒ The Daily Post Photo Challenge: Dense.
This photo was taken in a small roadside shop near HuαΊΏ, Vietnam. Β These incense sticks are hand-rolled by the shop owner from ground-up agarwood. The color (mixed with agarwood) is hand-applied toΒ a few inches at the end; each color contains a pleasant natural scent.
Incense is burned as an offering to ancestors and gods; this practice is called thurification. Β The smoke is a form of communication and spiritual food. Β Multiple sand-filled potsΒ are placed near temples, shrines, and other sacred placesΒ for holding the incense sticksΒ upright as they burn.
Specs are:
Canon 100D, ISO 100, f/8.0, 1/8 sec, 35 mm
iball round the world 
Dense in both color and number. A beautiful solution to the challenge.

Thank you. They were the brightness you see. They were being rolled as we watched, so they were “fresh.”
