beautiful temple settings

HIYA!

Been quite a few days since I've been at an internet shop so I've got lots to say. I'll be brief though as I could spend all day here.

Stayed one night at a temple set in a national park against a rock mountain. You know, those rock mountains like you see in the traditional Chinese and Japanese paintings? Beautiful. I love to look at these mountains. And to see trees growing off them. Amazing. How in hell can a tree grow out of a rock? I've never gone up to see what they live off of. Is there soil up there? Do the tree roots extract nutrients from the rock?

I didn't get a really really good look at the mountain until I walked away the next morning. It was all the more pretty with the trees in bloom with red flowers at the base of the mountain. No camera though, sorry.

I walked away with a couple of monks from this temple. I'll write about that in the next entry.
