~ Lingyin Temple
A few years back we traveled to Hangzhou, China and the Lingyin Temple (Temple of Soul’s Retreat).
This is one of my very favorite photos of the entire holiday. I love the colors of the vacant boat and the fish against the seemingly gray of the stream and mountain.
I see a story in this capture.
November 25, 2011 – Nikon D90 with 18-55mm Nikkor Lens

I’m amazed the fish aren’t scared off by the clarity and apparent shallowness of the water.
Cathi says
It is amazing Ingrid. Perhaps the fish are used to the many visitors they receive each day.

What a great photo! Like everyone else, I love the colors of the fish and the boat against the otherwise grey backdrop. Nice capture!
Cathi says
Thanks Jen! It seems the color is a bit of sunshine on a dreary day.

Intriguing scene! I love the orange against the grays, too.
Cathi says
Thanks Aquariann! I always wonder about the owner of the boat.
