The Temple On The Hill

Thanks to the massive zoom on the SX50 HS I was able to get a good shot of this temple.

You can actually see it in the distance in the last panorama that I uploaded. It was really far off but with the SX50 HS that wasn't really a problem.

I'm guessing it's a Buddhist temple. I can only imagine how much work must have gone into that since it was built quite high. Other than the temple there weren't other buildings on that hill so I don't even know how people visit that place since there didn't seem to be a direct approach road that was obvious to me.

When Storms Arise

During my recent trip we had a lot of rains. When I say "a lot" I mean it rained most of the time.

In a way that was a good thing because of the clouds. The clouds would be really dramatic and so they would provide some really great photo opportunities that might otherwise be lost.

One example was this temple. Its a temple on a far away hill and you can actually see it in the panorama I uploaded a few weeks back.
The storm clouds were rolling in and I grabbed this picture just before the overhanging clouds completely engulfed this temple.
