Bundles of colorful incense sticks

Taken at the famed village where these colorful bundles of incense sticks are made, close to the imperial tomb of Tu Duc, Hue city, Vietnam.
Incense (Latin: incendere, "to burn") is composed of aromatic biotic materials. It releases fragrant smoke when burned. The term incense refers to the substance itself, rather than to the odor that it produces.
Many religious ceremonies and spiritual purificatory rites employ incense, a practice that persists to this day. Incense is also used in medicine and for its aesthetic value. The forms taken by incense have changed with advances in technology, differences in the underlying culture, and diversity in the reasons for burning it. (wikipedia)
