21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Zen feeling

I was traveling alone in Jinshan Temple when I was affected badly by surroundings on campus.The scenery inside the temple is just typical of the beautiful Soviet-style gardens, but also because of the incense smell seems to be more humane, I was about to record just when a monk looked calm and relaxed into a courtyard.It occurs to me that letting go is a matter of moments,as the Buddhist philosophy says.Too much obsession can be like a taut string which reminds me of what I truly want.
