beautiful photos, @slowwalker.

The reflecting pool enhances the peace and serenity of that mountain retreat, with the temple safely nestled among trees and far from the beaten path.

There's a virtue in dwelling in obscurity - in this case, it preserved the temple - in the case of the individual it allows one to grow as a person and reflect on the truths of life far from the glare of publicity.

There is much to be said for the hidden life and the day of small things, my friend.
