A small bridge inside a Buddhist temple. Photo taken in Xian, China - November 2008. To see more bridges from around the world, check out San Francisco Bay daily photo.
Wow! So many lovely details! I like the lines of this one. Thanks for stopping by at mine! By the way, they call the bridge Deception because the waters deceived early explorers who didn't think there was an actual pass there.
Pat: There are steps. I think there was a little "creek" or something that it went over. It was all man-made. But I suspect they needed some water in the temple gardens to make sure the feng shui is not out of whack.
It´s lovely!

ReplyDeleteJe ne suis pas une très grande fan de "chinoiseries" mais j'avoue que ce pont est mignon.
ReplyDeleteI really like this! My first thought, though, was what makes a bridge Buddhist? ;-))
ReplyDeletePerhaps you have more photos of this temple. It looks so interesting!
This photo needs to be enlarged in order to really appreciate the details. Very intricate. A fine contribution to Sunday Bridges.
ReplyDeleteThis is just wonderful! Great stone work.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little bridge. It looks steep - are there steps?
ReplyDeleteYou asked if you could drive on the pigtail bridge in South Dakota. Yes - we did with our 1 1/2 ton truck! The wooden bridges are very sturdy!
