A very visually-appealing shot.. i like the way things are arranged.. but wat is it for, actually?

It's to remember our ancestors and their sacrifice for their country.

We do that every year here in Korea although they are different how they serve their offerings

Thanks pLusONe and Nishana! I took this in August 2006. I believe it was for a special memorial ceremony (Jesa) for basically all of this temple's congregation.

I didn't know Koreans have that kind of ceremony too.
The Chinese also arrange it like this, with the ancestor's name written on a cardboard.Good shot!
