Medium shot of a stone pagoda-shaped lantern in a garden. The lantern, centrally composed, features three distinct tiers, all heavily covered in green moss. The central tier has a square opening. The foreground is a carpet of bright green moss. The background shows a blurred greenhouse structure with glass panels and dark frames, along with bare tree branches. The overall lighting is soft, creating an intimate atmosphere.

A different kind of #monochrome for #MonochromeMonday: A #golden ceiling inside the #Leifeng #Pagoda in #Hangzhou (#China). The original pagoda was built in 975 AD for the emperor's favourite concubine. It was burned down a few centuries later and finally collapsed in 1924. The new, reconstructed pagoda opened in 2002 with lifts, air conditioning, and more.

A high-angle, close-up shot reveals an intricately decorated ceiling, likely part of a temple or religious building. The central focus is a large, circular medallion with a stylised floral or lotus pattern in shades of gold and pale yellow. This central design features multiple layers of petals radiating outwards from a central dotted core, enclosed by a decorative border with swirling motifs.
Surrounding the central medallion is a repeating pattern of small, arched niches, each containing a subtle, darker shape that could represent a figure or religious symbol. These niches are arranged in a radial fashion, emanating from the central design and creating a sense of symmetry and repetition across the ceiling.
The overall colour palette is muted, with variations of yellow and gold dominating, giving the surface a slightly aged or textured appearance. The lighting appears even, highlighting the detailed carvings and patterns without harsh shadows.

4) Tō-ji (東寺)📿🌸

As old as Kyōto, Tō-ji ('East Temple') sits in the same place it has occupied for 1200 years, though its grounds have been vastly reduced.

Originally called Kyō-ō-Gokoku-ji (教王護国寺), the temple acted as guardian of the new capital (Heian-kyō 平安京).

Burning gifts and wish for the ancestor’s support

Tomb Sweeping Day, “Cheng Meng” in Khmer, is a festival to honour the ancestors. The festival is of Chinese origin. Qingming is celebrated in Cambodia among the Chinese exodus, and among Khmer with intermarriage or with other strong relations to Chinese culture.
As it is a celebration of Spring, this festival is in the first week of April after the current Roman Calendar. It is not an official holiday in Cambodia, and it is often celebrated in Khmer families on one of the weekend days closest to 1st of April.
An important part is for the families to bring forth offerings, food, drink, incense, gifts and prayers for luck and support.
The burning of incense and paper gifts are burned during this festival too. The idea is that this sends gifts to relatives who have died. Burning paper items such as villas, money, household items, motorbikes and cars is the transmission of the items and materials to one's ancestors.
This will give the ancestors a better and more comfortable afterlife. In return the ancestors will give blessings and luck to the family.

Citywalks in Mandalay

Like in the large old temple cities like Bagan, the temples and pagodas are everywhere.

The feeling that these structures sometimes just are there, in the middle of rice fields or grass paddocks. Equal to rice and other farm products, religion is as important for people here. These buildings can mark holy sites, graves, or a memorial structure build to celebrate or in honor of an event or person.

These buildings on a line was just outside one of the small villages outside Mandalay CBD, along this rice field.

These days all thoughts of this beautiful country goes in hope for the survivors of the earthquake, a successful reconstruction and a peaceful end to the wars and a return to peace and human rights in Burma-Myanmar.
