Peter did take all these pictures today. We had very pleasant weather: Not too hot, not too cold. We enjoyed the day at the temple very much. Some dear friends gave us a lift to the temple and back. All in all a really good day.

Enjoyed your Temple visit Uta, they are definitely places of contentment and Serenity.
The Lotus tea sound intriguing.

They have great teas there, Ian. We had lotus tea when we arrived. Later for lunch we had ginger tea in a similar pot. The lunch was vegetarian, of course, and very good.
I was glad that I was able to walk up to the Gratitude Bell. For me it is quite a walk uphill, but I made it! 🙂
Sounds like a great outing Uta, and seeing the bell a wonderful experience.
Love all the statues, and those images are beautiful Uta.. such an amazing place you have shared with us. And like Ian said, I wouldn’t mind tasting that Lotus Tea.. 🙂 I am a herbal tea drinker 🙂
Thanks for commenting, Sue. You are right, it is an amazing place to visit. I love herbal teas, especially when they are presented in such a lovely way. 🙂
Peter just tells me that we should visit the temple gardens again in November when hopefully the Jacarandas and Illawarra Flame trees are in bloom. 🙂
Now that will be a wonderful time to visit 🙂
What a great photo of the lotus tea. A great day!
Yes, it was a great day. Peter wants to go there again in November when the jacaranda and Illawarra flame trees are in flower. The blue and red look beautiful next to each other. 🙂
Beautiful photos Uta, and looks a peaceful place. I thought for a minute the lotus tea was a gold fish!!!
Well, we drank every bit of liquid that was in that ‘goldfish bowl’. It was delicious! 🙂
