Nice architecture as usual! Although what distracts me are the tree branches, yet..... its beautiful in its own right

yeah-- i love that area; quite peaceful-- just love listening to the birds. great capture on the wall, and the tree branches don't look so tangled; well done!

Peaceful picture after the snow with sunny weather. I enjoy very much the drawing on the wall made by the vegetation mix with the different colors and patterns of this wall.

@Irwansyah Sk3tchw!nd: Thanks for stopping by and for the comment and opinion. I'd be interested to know what others thought. Anyone who has stopped by this blog before probably already knows that I love black and so to me the image doesn't need curves adjustment (which is good because I don't own PP software!). I think photographers are too often afraid of black or areas of high contrast, but again I think this is a personal opinion and I'd be interested to know what others think.

Immensely moody photo, I love everything about it!

Some lovely light is filtering around the walls of the temple

A nice play of light and shadows on the old walls! (By the way, how old is this shrine that seems to be your favourite?)And that curvacious tree anchors the shot!To me it is thrilling to notice last year's leaves scatterred among the tiles!
