Greetings Julie, Thank you for visiting and commenting. I hope all is well with you. I have been away so long and I missed my friends. The garden behind this temple was a huge wall with lots of plants and trees and rocks. Mixed in among them all were dozens of bronze statues. Look close and you can see several of them. The trip was very fun.

Cheers,

Rich

Greetings Oleg, Thanks for the visit and comment. The temple had many interesting and beautiful gardens. I liked this one because of the way it covered and formed a wall from one level to the next. All the trees showed years of tender loving care and attention to form. There are dozens of bronze sculptures in there.

Cheers,

Rich
