📷 Cherry Blossoms at Tianyuan Temple

in #photography7 years ago

When I submitted this photo to the SPC challenge a while back, I kinda half-promised a post on the temple. Well here it is!

It will be a few more days or weeks before the cherry blossoms really start to bloom around the base of the temple. Right now, only some trees behind the temple on a hill are in full bloom.

The temple, viewed from a hill:

Cherry blossoms blooming quite nicely in some areas:

Some close ups:


Finally, a shot of the temple at dusk, you can see the trees here have not begun to bloom yet.

Some crazy light flares in this one! It was raining at the time and the lens was starting to get soaked!



Hope you enjoyed this post! I strive hard to provide quality content :)

i've never seen this personally. It's very nice.
Is February or March a better to see this in full bloom?

Thanks, it depends on the weather, if you're planning to visit then I can give you a link to their FB for real-time updates on the flowers.
