📷 Cherry Blossoms at Tianyuan Temple
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:

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!
