Scavenger Hunt - Week 11th December

This post is for the Scavenger Hunt - Week 11th December. The five submissions were for Less is More, Holiday Lights, Ornaments, Cup of Cheer and Nativity.
Here is my interpretation and entry for the Scavenger Hunt.
1. Less is More
Two tents in no man's land at the Himalayas! This was en-route to Rohtang Pass that connects the Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.

2. Holiday Lights
Taken at the 2009 Kuala Lumpur Lantern Festival at China Town, Petaling Street.

3. Ornaments
May not really be ornaments but can go down out here. Taken at the Po Lin Monastery at Lantau Island, Hong Kong

4. Cup of Cheer
During a journey on a highway when temperatures were low, a little coffee break did wonders.


5. Nativity
During Ganesh Chaturthi, India
