This is a rather typical Chinese style Buddhist temple located on the Coastal Road on Manila Bay. Does anyone know its name besides just Chinese Temple?
Manila, 2010
It's up to the letter T over at ABC Wednesday today.
This is a gorgeous temple, Francisca! Hmmm. You're making me wonder if there are any temples in the Toronto area like this. Hmmm.
You asked about the Road Watch sign in my T post:
Community members are asked to complete a Citizen Report Form when they observe a fellow motorist exercising unsafe driving behaviour. Such behaviours include (but are not limited to): Excessive speed Driving in the middle of the road Weaving from side to side Failing to signal turns Unsafe lane changes Following too closely Failing to obey stop signs, traffic signals and/or pedestrian crosswalks Failing to yield right-of-way Passing a school bus while its lights are flashing
Pondering nomenclature, to quote Roger, and as I ponder, something is niggling at the back of my mind to say I once knew the word, but it completely escapes me now. I'm going to have to resign my membership in "Words R Us"! -- K

Don't know its name. Wouldn't even have known it was a Buddhist temple. But it's gorgeous! Those roof lines, the colors - I've got to visit Asia one of these days!
Beautifully decorated temple and colorful too!!
ReplyDeleteNo matter what its name is, the temple is very colorful and fanciful.
