Great photos! =D>

Not to change the subject...but, I've often wondered how those pigs heads are used.
What are the plants in #1? Poppies? They look like Opium poppies.

pigs heads are purchased for the Temples/monks as an offering(chok-dee), perhaps someone will explain it better than me.

My wife tells me that the pigs heads are used more at the Chinese temples. Chinese buddhists offer a pigs head if they are praying for good luck. In my wife's village (just outside Nongsoong) there is a spirit house built in memory of a man called Kome who the locals believed had the power to give good luck. When my niece applied for a visa to come to England recently, her mother went to this spirit house and gave a pigs head.
