Coiled Incense
I once heard the belief of this coiled incense. It says smoke from the incense will bring the wishes written on notes hung on the incense to heaven. The wishes will then be granted by the god and goddess who receive those wishes. 
Have you heard of this belief before?
This is my participation for Monochrome Monday's meme.
"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith

i love this! i love incense too.
No I have never heard of this. The image is so gorgeous with the backlight.
Do they keep away mosquitos? That's my favourite kind of incense!
Marvellous mono image. The coils have the look of springs, hard to believe anything as fragile as incense.
I have never heard this belief before! Fascinating! And your photo is a delight in tones of monochrome.
No I never heard of it but when I was in Hongkong I visited the wishing tree. People would write their wishes on paper and tied them with one end to a orange and started throwing onto the tree. The higher the wishes go up the tree the better the chances it will be. No, I never try throwing the orange and the wishes up the tree lol. I saw many oranges drop on the floor and it was so messy. My wish is simple just wish my wishes will come true...hehehe.
Lovely photo. Never heard of that belief, but we have the same incense coils here to burn outside. They are insect repellant with a citrussmell. Very useful!
No not heard it before, but they make a very good mono.
By the way your coconut tarts look delicious.... yum yum...
