Description
Walking through the gates into The Temple of Literature in Hanoi is like stepping into an oasis. Located in the middle of the city, The Temple of Literature is an ancient landmark that was originally built in 1070 as a university dedicated to Confucius, sages and scholars. With it’s picturesque gardens, traditional architecture and tranquil lake, it’s a world away from the bustling city that lies beyond its historic walls. While we were visiting this beautiful spot, the water lilies in the pond were in full bloom. I took my original photo of this water lily and experimented in processing to add a painterly effect. I loved the way it made the lovely colors and elements pop.
