People queue to buy laba porridge at a temple during the Laba Festival in Hefei, Anhui province, January 11. The Laba Festival, which falls on the eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar Chinese calendar, commemorates the date of Sakyamuni Buddha's enlightenment. Having laba porridge during the Laba Festival is believed to bring good fortune.

Nice light. Like how it is layered. A lot to keep your eye interested. Also like the muted pallet with the splash of color from the blue masks. But I wish that other photographer was not in the frame in the background.
