Looking back through my travel photos I see that in many places there was, on our agendas, an Abbey, Cathedral, Chapel, Church, Convent, Monastery, Mosque, Pagoda, Synagogue, Temple or other place of worship. As we travel along the road I often take snaps of God's houses we pass by. These buildings range from ordinary to ostentatious.
In today's posts I am focusing on Buddahs, Books and Bells, some of the features we might find in one of Gods' Houses.

ReplyDeleteThanks Pam, I just wish I had taken note of the names of some of these buildings. I'll do better on our next jaunt.

ReplyDeleteI enjoy diving into my photos for a dose of nostalgia
DeleteGreat photos here Jill. We have an incredible Buddhist Temple here in Bendigo that features the largest Jade Buddha in the world. Worth a visit if you’re in this part of the world.
ReplyDeleteWe need to go south I have a few cemetery and archives I need to visit.
DeleteI'm amazed by all your photos and your ability to categorise and file. Feel as if I'm travelling alongside you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, hope you enjoy the journey
DeleteWonderful photos. I'm a big fan of bells -- love to hear them chiming to announce the time, a sound that somehow clears surrounding traffic and other urban noises here in NYC.
ReplyDeleteI loved our old school bell too. It was a treat to have a turn at bonging it to announce the next lesson.
DeleteThanks for sharing your photos! When we get to letter K, I'm posting about a Korean Friendship Bell in San Pedro, California.
ReplyDeleteThanks - I'll look out for your Californian bell.
