More Sanxia Shrine from Taipei for Treasure Tuesday

 







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.

This tiny garden in Bendigo has been under renovation since 2020. Finally it is completed. 


It does not look too bad.
