    so lovely and pieceful.

Buddhist temples (in Korea and many other nations) are often reached after crossing a body of water, which is both beautiful and also symbolic representing a “crossing over” to another world or a sacred space. When returning from our visit at Bulguksa in the late afternoon the light was just right on the foliage and lake as tourists looked down from the bridge near the temple grounds.
