The abundance of carvings and ornate details within this shrine is truly astounding. Every corner is adorned with oriental artistry, rich in history and narrative. The tales of the Three Pure Ones in Taoism echo the complexity of Greek mythology, filled with themes of human nature—betrayal, intrigue, and divine powers. Were it not for my interest in photography, I might have passed by the shrine without so much as a second glance.

ReplyDeleteCon estos santuarios al igual que las iglesias que muestro yo se les puede ver de dos formas diferentes, una la de ser seguidor de sus creencias y otra la de admirador del arte que atesoran.
ReplyDeleteY visto por los ojos de un admirador de arte me parece espectacular.
