Thanks Sam. I wanted to sit and photograph this place for hours but it was in a very sketchy neighborhood so I had to snap quickly. One of those delightful surprises I found during a last minute detour.
Exactly Cyndi, my first impression was outside looking into the courtyard of a rural unkempt Buddhist temple. It took a moment to resolve cinder blocks and peeling paint. Great capture!

Wow. Just wow. The color, the framing, the depth. What a fantastic shot.

Bonzai Bonsai, hai Cyndi-san! 8^)
Looks more like Japan than rural North Carolina, doesn’t it?!

I wish I could shoot this well … *doffs hat*
