Played with the macro some more on this hike. Didn’t use a tripod and had to reduce the image quality for the web, but you get the idea. Butterflies wouldn’t sit still though.

The temple pillar is beautiful. What craftsmanship and dedication. Thank you for sharing, please continue.
That kind of thing appears to be standard-issue on a lot of temples, and that particular temple was rather… chintzy(?) and unkempt compared to the others we’ve visited.
The bigger pillars at Longshan temple were much more impressive to me, though I didn’t get as good a picture of them – one long dragon coiling around from top to bottom with scenes of religious figures and stories carved inbetween the coils. Like the concrete one above only bigger and more elaborate.
Greg – I just added a pillar shot because I liked them, too. Zoom in on this one (taken at a distance) and you can see what I was talking about with the dragon and religious scenes.
