The Temples of the Sun and the Moon are located in Cathedral Valley in Capitol Reef National Park. These two sandstone monoliths rise almost 300 feet from the valley floor. The Temple of the Sun is actually slightly larger than the Temple of the Moon which is closer. Our trusty red truck which brought us to this remote location is at the base of the Temple of the Moon.
Happy Truck Thursday!

This image of the ancient Roman temple in Palmyra , Syria , was taken before the barbarians of ISIL arrived. Palmyra was considered by many to be the most important & beautiful Roman city in the world. But this meant nothing to the fanatical Jihadists of ISIL as they trashed the whole site.

It is built in the South Indian architecture| style.
Due to its architectural and historical significance, the temple has been gazetted as a National Monument. Historically, the temple was the registry of Hindu marriages. At that time, only the priest of the Sri Mariamman Temple was authorized to solemnize Hindu marriages in Singapore.

There are many temples on Koyasan, and no hotels. I would highly recommend to spend a night in one of the temples on Koyasan, to see this wonderful place at different times of the day.
In the temple, you can experience the Buddhist morning ceremony, in some temples with a beautiful fire ceremony (more on that later).

Hawaii is an island cluster in the middle of the Pacific ocean. Located almost equally far from America and Asia, it tends to get a lot of tourists from Asia, mostly from Japan. Walking around Honolulu or other villages, you will notice a strong influence from Japanese culture. Japanese restaurants and shops can be found everywhere, while a lot of signs are written in English, Hawaiian and Japanese. Following that far Eastern influence, there are a couple of Japanese sights, like the depicted Byodo-In Temple. It is located in the Valley of the temples, a small meadow surrounded by mountains the summits of which usually disappear in the clouds. There one can find Temples and sacred buildings from various religions. Right in front of the Temple there is a calm lake and other small structures following asian style. the Valley of the Temples is a very quiet, peaceful and picturesque place and it is worth spending an hour to walk around those temples.
Taman Ayun Temple is a landmark in the village of Mengwi, Badung regency, located 17km northwest of Denpasar.
Towering tiers from the temple shrines make up most of the profile of Taman Ayun and are a gesture of the people of Mengwi’s reverence to their deified noble ancestors, for the temple complex is considered the ‘mother temple’ of Mengwi.
Jordan, en route to Petra. A city built symmetrically around a temple. One road into the city, one road out. I do note a lack of park lands also I suspect there is a camel in the shot somewhere. Every house we passed in this land seemed to own at least one camel. I was warned off taking pictures of people a number of times. Not an area I would care to revisit but grateful we had the unique opportunity to visit it once. It is a rare experience to touch land that dates back to Jesus. The furthest we go back in North America is buying a hamburger at the original McDonald's Restaurant in San Bernardino, California.
Anyway - back to camels - let me know if you spot one.
