Postcards from the Highveld. ๐ฟ๐ฆ Where African skies meet Eastern architecture. โฉ๏ธ
Walking the grounds of the Nan Hua Temple in Bronkhorstspruit. It feels surreal to find this architectural masterpiece hereโit is actually the largest Buddhist temple and seminary in the entire Southern Hemisphere! This was a perfect crisp autumn morning back in 2018; the 10:25 AM sun was bright enough to freeze the action and make those orange tiles pop against the blue.

You nailed it with "Highveld blue!" ๐ฟ๐ฆ There really is nothing like that specific shade of sky in autumn. "Serene fire" is such a beautiful description of the architectureโthank you so much! ๐

And the silence this photo evokes is like the respectful quiet of temples ... Beautiful photo, Sandra.
