      The stairs shot really gives a sense of scale. The temple is really large!

        Yes it is, and seemingly so out of context! Such a contrast with its surroundings.

        Thanks… glad you like it. It is quite amazing, sitting out there in the Midwest. One can see from quite a distance!

        I wasn’t completely at ease with that contrast and I appreciate your feedback. Thank you Curt.

      What a wonderful piece of architecture to find in the Midwest. I also love the look of the stark black and white contrast. Really accentuates the details of the temple. 🙂

      There is a beautiful Hindu temple not far from where I live in the suburbs of Kansas City. Much like this one, the architecture of it is amazing. I love your photos in black & white!

        Thank you for sharing about the temple in your area. Glad you like the black and whites, I take this as encouragement to play more with monochrome.
