Hello,JP,
Well, here we are on our earth:)))
My compliments for the neat image and the chosen POV as, what impresses me very much apart from the main structure sheltering from heat is the plant- a tree or a trimmed shrub in the left part.
The place seems to be popular as there are a lot of people walking around.
The whole atmosphere is peaceful and it's great that Nicholas Roerich and other artists shared the space to let their souls fly through their works.
