The Heavenly Queen Temple suffered damage during the flood two years prior. When we visited, the majority of the structures were still under construction. Situated on the bend of the Yarra River, just near the border of Melbourne City, the temple remains secluded from the surrounding urban environment.
Joel, desiring to sample the Pho in Footscray, selected this destination for us to explore with our prime lenses.

This temple has a similar look to it as the Forbidden City in Beijing, but the buildings are newer. If the roof construction is also similar, they are earthquake proof. Joel picked a good destination.
ReplyDeleteIt is not as sophisticated as the forbidden city. I picked the destination though.
DeleteThe temple is beautiful, awesome captures. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteIt is a place to explore
DeleteI thought it looks shiny and new. That may be because of the reconstruction. Quite original architecture!
ReplyDeleteThese are not even in completion
DeleteGreat destination, I'm sure he got loads of good photos. And how was the Pho? I bet it was delicious.
ReplyDeleteWe had 3 colour ice too.

ReplyDeleteWe also have a place here at home in the country called Dragon Palace which is built like in China
Hard to believe that in your country too
DeleteBeautiful building.
ReplyDeleteThe photo at the corner of the building, looking down both sides, is quite mysterious.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully captured in all its grandeur!
ReplyDeleteThey are nice photos of a beautiful place, but oh I wish the would tidy up the back of the building that's clearly visible from the train.
ReplyDeleteThe unfinished bits are eye sores
DeleteVery beautiful photos of a wonderful temple!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors!!
Thanks for the beautiful ride!!
It is not in completion
DeleteBeautiful building and nicely captured too.

ReplyDeleteToo much wide-angle for my liking, but you already knew that. What was Joel shooting with?
ReplyDeleteHehe I know you Stefan. Joel is using 50mm f1.4 He loves bokeh work
DeleteI think I may have to add this to my 'places to visit' list!

ReplyDeleteNo hubiera sido capaz de situar ese templo en Australia y espero no lo construyeran de nuevo en el lugar de la inundación.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
