i say a little prayer for you
The entrance of the temple. Enter at your own peril. That's how I felt when I was a child. As well-behaved as I was then, I still thought the figurines would jump off their mount and bite me for the sweet I nicked from my cousin's bag.
I've always been fascinated with places of worship. Churches, temples, mosques, synagogues. There's something in the air that makes it calm and when you enter, the world outside disappears. Very different from the quiet of museums. Museums tend to remind me of what has happened out there.
Do you share the same thoughts?

LOL @ NICKED EDDIE BOY!
Reminds me of LONDON...where my purse got NICKED..WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! LOL! ;)
And yep...whenever I walk into a church (which is rare, unfortunately, unless I'm in LONDON, where my purse got NICKED, LOL!) the world just seems to disappear!
Who'd a thunk a silly BUILDING could do THAT for G's SAKES!
Love the red bally-ball thingies!
;) xo
i say a lil prayer for you too edwin! ;-)
You need not be a deeply religious person to enjoy a trip to a temple or any other place of worship..., just enjoy the serene atmosphere that they offer.

I agree. Museum (some of them) let me understand how were life before... Us. Church (some of them) let me feel how could life... After.
Great photo Edwin! Very imposing entrance! By the way, I have followed your inspirations and today am running a photo competition. Do check it out over at Torun DP...and maybe you too will win a colour photo!
Nice photograph, Edwin. The view of the entrance is good and the inside atmosphere would probably be calm as you suggested.

E- The first thing I do when I visit another country and culture is to visit their places of worship. I've always felt that it gives one a better feeling and understanding of the society and culture. Interesting photo,too!
that's a beautiful temple.
i wish i could say that i like visiting places of worship (like before).
after the recent war i have to say i have a great aversion towards them.

Dear Leobrota
thank you for coming by HKDP and asking...things are VERY challenging in Shanghai, I do get very frustrated at times...I do need a little prayer for myself. :-) One of these days, I'm gonna go through DP blogs one by one like I used to do and leave comments and enjoy myself with all these wonderful photos. In the meantime, gotta go to work now :-)
