In Cantonese, this sign roughly translates to 'The good you do on this earth, will be remembered long after you are gone'
I did not know this at the time. When I found this spot, I got my composition & settings ready and waited for a good subject to enter frame. This gentleman just happened to pass by the sign and longingly stare to it on his walk.
Only after finding out what the sign means, did the true luck of the special moment captured transpire to me. This was a shot not to be captured again and quite frankly, I love how it turned out.
Lovely example of contre-jour.
