Taiwan 2024 - Waterfall Area Near Chenjean's Village, Temple Altar

...and of course the altar area of the temple itself.  So full of dazzling color and interesting objects.  Suppose some spend a lifetime studying all this to know just what everything means.

I once knew someone that was so dogmatic and anal about things in church that he wouldn't go near something like this.  This post describes more specifically how this fellow, a photographer, managed to get a shot in despite his aversion to anything not in line with his dogma.  How ridiculous!  I view these things as components of culture, some of which are beautiful, and have participated in several ceremonies out of respect for the culture and family being honored or memorialized.
