Phnom Penh, Cambodia, was a pleasant surprise for photowalking. When you expect nothing and suddenly find corners like this the only word that comes from your mouth is "wow".

The Padmanabhaswamy Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu in Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of the state of Kerala, India.
The temple was built in Tang Dynasty. After six times of fire, sixteen times of enlargement and repair in Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was built to be today’s size in 1882 AD (the eighth year of Guangxu Emperor, Qing Dynasty). It covers an area of 9,8000 square meters.
The temple is of nine layers and four courtyards. It consists of Jiuxing Door, Kuixing Pavilion, Yubei Pavilion, Jiaying Door, Yushu House, Main Hall, Bedroom, east and west side doors and four turrets.
The Main Hall is the main body of the building, with the largest scale, which is also called Big Hall or Shengdi Hall. It is 24 meters high, with 72 stone stelae, symbolizing the 72 peaks of Southern Sacred Mountain.
The wood carving of jumping dragon and flying phoenix under the eaves and the wood carving on the door are very delicate.
Temple Island, Henley on Thames.
Temple Island is an eyot, about a mile and a half north and downstream of Henley-on-Thames. The downstream end of the island is the start of the Henley Royal Regatta course.
The building on the island is an ornamental temple, a folly constructed in 1771 and designed James Wyatt.
The photograph is a composite of several long exposure images to give an approximately 16-minute exposure.

I decided to release this old picture taken last March 15, 2006, in conjunction with the events that are happening in Burma (Myanmar). This is a Buddhist Temple run by Buddhist Monks from Thailand. Get more information from the Buddhist Temple set.
This temple was one of the first pictures I treated with HDR. My camera at that time was my reliable Casio Exilim EX-Z57. I still find the pictures good for HDRs. I just have to bring my tripod with me always since I have to manually change the exposures if I want to process the pictures as HDRs. But this just shows you that even a point and shoot camera can produce good quality HDRs. I still got my Exilim but I'm relying heavily now on my Nikon D200 that can shoot fast for up to 9xp. Normally, I go for 5xp or at least 3xp and usually handheld with my D200.
I hope you will like this version.
This temple is the head temple of the Tofukuji School of the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism. It was built in 1236 on the instructions of Kujo Michiie, the great statesman of the Kamakura period, who desired to build in Kyoto a temple complexes in Nara. Even its name, Tofukuji, is a combination of one chalacter from the names of each of these Nara temples.
Its original buildings were burned but were rebuilt in the 15th century according to the original plans. About this time it flourished as one of the Five Great Temples of Kyoto. Its many compounds and sub-temples survived the ravages of war and fire until the late Meiji period when the Butsuden (Buddha hall) were burned. However, it even now retains the magnificent scale characteristic of a medieval Zen temple.

East Bank/Egypt 2019 (Luxor Temple ("the southern sanctuary" in ancient Thebes) was constructed approximately 1400 BCE. Luxor temple is not dedicated to a cult god or a deified version of the king in death. Instead Luxor temple is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship; it may have been where many of the kings of Egypt were crowned in reality or conceptually.
There are chapels built by Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty, and Alexander. Other parts of the temple were built by Tutankhamun and Ramesses II. During the Roman era, the temple and its surroundings were a legionary fortress and the home of the Roman government in the area...)

Shadows brought up a lot in post in order to see any detail on the Orem House of the Lord itself. Quite a nice cloudy day. I find the flexibility of this film in the shadows to be quite nice.
