After an arduous and fatiguing journey home, I was able to secure only two hours of sleep in total. The upcoming weekend will require significant adjustment before I officially resume work.
February marks the season of cherry blossoms in Taiwan, with the Yoshino cherry (Prunus yedoensis) blooming slightly later. This exquisite variety, characterised by its pale pink petals that fade to white, is renowned for its delicate beauty and ephemeral nature, symbolising both renewal and the fleeting passage of time.
My visit to Wuji Tianyuan Temple in Tamsui, Taipei, was primarily to witness this floral spectacle. This revered temple, known for its magnificent five-story pagoda and serene atmosphere, becomes a favored destination during cherry blossom season. The harmonious blend of traditional architecture and cascading blooms transforms the temple grounds into an ethereal landscape, drawing visitors seeking both spiritual solace and natural splendor.

ReplyDeleteCherry blossom is beautiful. Ours is only just coming in. What does the character in your last photograph mean?
ReplyDeleteIt means a few things: "60 years as a unit", "complete", "roundness" and "togetherness"

The temple looks great this time of the year. I managed to photograph the first cherry blossom a few days ago, but only one, and I had to use the macro lens!
ReplyDeleteI havent been active on Flickr. Travelling fatigue is kicking in. I will browse them in a few days
DeleteCherry blossom is lush and gorgeous. Do we have any climates in Australia where cherry blossom would flourish?
ReplyDeleteCherry blossoms in Dandenong Ranges and Silvan. Apparently over 400 cherry trees planted there.
