[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Picture was taken at the Chi Lin Nunnery. The Chinese character means "Don't touch; please".I think it is the most spectacular billboard inside the garden : )

The following introduction was downloaded from the website:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_Lin_Nunnery

"Chi Lin Nunnery (traditional Chinese: 志蓮淨苑) is Buddhist nunnery in Diamond Hill, New Kowloon, Hong Kong. The present-day buildings have been rebuilt and their style is of Tang architecture. The beautiful garden in front of the nunnery is open to the public free of charge.

Its buildings are the only ones to be built with wooden rooftops in modern Hong Kong, without the use of a single nail in its construction. This is based on a unique architectural style from the Tang Dynasty which uses special interlocking systems cut into the wood for construction.

Covering a space of 30,000 square meters, Chi Lin Nunnery has strikingly beautiful statues of the Sakyamuni Buddha, the goddess of mercy Guanyin and other bodhisattvas. These statues are made from gold, clay, wood and stone."

Very nice. Relaxing to look at.

Sammy,

There's a lot of very nice, sharply defined graphic work in your gallery. Strong, (apparently) simple images - but done too a high standard with good presentation. This is a particularly good example of those principles I think.

Regards
Colin

Hi Laung, fantastic graphic with splendid colors, wonderful shadows, very well done, ciao Silvio

Excellent photograph of the light and shade. Good colours and tones.
