East indian "Sikh" temple in Abbotsford near Vancouver.

Sikhism, the youngest of the world religions, is barely five hundred years old. Its founder, Guru Nanak, was born in 1469. Guru Nanak spread a simple message of "Ek Ong Kar": we are all one, created by the One Creator of all Creation. This was at a time when India was being torn apart by castes, sectarianism, religious factions, and fanaticism. He aligned with no religion, and respected all religions. He expressed the reality that there is one God and many paths, and the Name of God is Truth, "Sat Nam".

Hi!
Sharp and good shot. Good composition with a lot of space above the temple. How did you get that strange colour? It makes me think of India though...

Hi Ileana, welcome to TL (I've just been viewing your TE stuff - nice).
I love this shot, a great architectural image, wonderful colour and tones throughout and a really effective composition. Personally I may have been tempted to lose the branches on the left, I just think it would have cleaned up the overall image.
Great work,
TFS,
Neil.

That's a pretty promising first photo. excellent composition in optimum light and the sepia tones enhance it. Welcome and good luck at Tlens. Janos

Hi Ileana

Welcome to TL community.

I like this shot, well balanced and composed, superb light and shadow. Twin domes, vertical and horizontal lines are great. Well done.

TFS, cheers

Stunning image with lovely straight lines and wonderful colour ... just a pity about the branch on the left.
Well done.

Hello Ileana,

A good architecture shot. Maybe you would consider to clone out those branches
