    an ancient temple where no one worships anymore sounds and looks like the perfect place to worship or just regroup from a long day :)

    I love the contrast in that last photo - of the worn out buildings in the front and the temple.

    I love how colorful the top of the temple is even though you can tell from the bottom portion how ancient it is. Lovely photos.

    Here's my Snapshot.
