Buddha Tooth Relic Temple

(Details In The ) (Described by Human)

(Probably A Repeat)

This is a colour photo in portrait format of the front facade of a multi-floored, highly ornate and colourful, Buddhist temple located in Chinatown, Singapore (2012). Extending along the base of the photo is a string of multi-coloured, square flags that stretch from the left to the right edge of the photo, this is above the entrance which is out of view below. Above is a tiled, pitched roof that again stretches across the image. The roof is covered with glazed, grey, oriental tiles with a lintel that extends along the ridge of the roof with a large bright golden mythical figure head at each end of the ridge. Between the roof and the row of flags is a large rectangular plaque with a golden filagree surround and three large golden Chinese characters. The windows of the first floor are mostly obscured by the entrance roof. Above the first floor windows is a small roof leaning out in front of the building, one either side of the centre. These small roofs are again made from grey, glazed C

Doorway Into The Palace of Heavenly Happiness

(Details In The )

This is a simple colour photo of the two closed doors at the entrance to an old temple decorated with two large golden serpentine, dragon-like, mythical sea creatures facing each other. Thian Hock Keng Temple, Singapore (2012). The entire photo is filled with the two, tall and rectangular, closed doors. The hinges are out of view along the left and right edges of the photo with the gap between the two doors being in the centre of the image. Each door has an identical mythical sea creature, possibly made from gold leaf, either way, of a metallic gold appearance. At the top of the doors the creature's tail curls around in a loop with the snake like body curving down the length of the door and getting a little thicker (fatter) towards the centre. Three-quarters of the way up there is a paw with five claws. At the bottom of the door the body curves around and upwards with the dragon like head stopping just below the centre of the photo. The jaws are wide open revealing long rows of sharp
