temples of heaven, a photo from Gansu, North

Photographer's Note

I've been going through my Chinese archive. Here's a shot that might be worth the post.

---

LANGMUSI is a town on the border between Gansu and Sichuan with two big Tibetan monasteries and great trekking opportunities. As it gets more accessible, it is becoming a bit of a tourist attraction. When we visited it in 2015, it was a highlight on that particular trip.

THIS PICTURE was shot on the grounds of the Kerti Gompa (monastery) with typical Tibetan temple architecture underneath a lovely blue sky.

Hallo Benny,
Geweldige foto van deze tempel.
Fantastische daken. Schitterende kleuren.
Eerlijk gezegd, ik kan me deze tempel niet meer herinneren ... Wel de paardentrektocht die ik in Langmusi gemaakt heb ... Of was dat in Songpan? ...
Ik weet wel dat het in 1999 was en er was ook nog Jiuzhaigou in die buurt.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hi Benny,very few members of this site have contributed to show the beauties of this place not very popular in tourist circuits, and posts like this are obviously more interesting because they are rare, spectacular return to your Chinese memories with a perfect postcard of this magical temple, super quality like always!! Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

Hi Benny
A good one of an attractively roofed complex. A larger version would have been good to show us more detail.
cheers

Dag Benny,

U was ook al in China ik ben blij in jou plaats.
Op deze manier kan ik meegenieten van al het moois dat u jij daar tegen kwam.
De vormen van de daken spreken op zich al boekdelen.
Alles mooi en perfect scherp
Heel mooi foto werk, bedankt.

Groeten uit Oot-Vlaanderen,
John

Hi Benny,
You have quite rich archives. I didn't see much Asia except Turkey, which is formally Asia but different I suppose. May be this year I will manage a trip.
The architecture which you present here us amazing so rich and beautiful. I like how well it is lit and the well saturated eye catching colors against the spotless blue sky.
Excellent work,
M
