The Galtaji Monkey Temple near Jaipur, in Rajasthan, India is a popular tourist and Hindu pilgrim destination. The site, which dates back to the 1500's, consists of a series of Hindu temples built into a narrow crevice in the hills that surround Jaipur. Water from a natural spring flows into a series of sacred pools (kunds) in which pilgrims bathe and youths play. The site is also famous for the numerous monkeys (rhesus macaques and langur monkeys) that live there and entertain the visitors.

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!

Each temple at Angkor has a different character. The Ta Som Temple is smaller in scale but still well preserved. Like many of the Angkor temples, various structures are enveloped in large ficus (fig) trees. Over time the roots and limbs of the ficus become intertwined to form a unique visual juxtaposition.

The Bahai are a curious religion. They are a monotheistic religion, have no priests, believe in repeated revelations with the one of their founder Baha*Ullah being the last one so far, Moses, Jesus and Mohammed being others. They believe in uniting all religions and humanity peacefully but don't try to convert others. If more religions were like this, this world would be far more peaceful.
Unluckily, they are not very successful in terms of membership. The temple in Langenhain close to Frankfurt is the single house of worship in the whole of Europe. There are about two handful of them worldwide.
"I think I am close now, but I can't see that temple!"

What do you think about the whole creation?
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.
