Composition suits subject. Immense Temple made to look to scale, beautiful sky, reflection& colors..Are you familiar with what many people say the Stupas on the top of the temple represent? #1664997

Thank you, Harvey. Yes, you will generally see the Stupas near Buddhist temples or monasteries. Stupa is a dome-shaped structure erected as a Buddhist shrine. #11502538
