    Nice shot and temple-too bad there are power lines nearby but… :)

    Every picture taken by anyone in Taiwan has power lines in the frame!

    Neat shot and building.
    Is this a true pano, or a crop from a larger shot with a wide angle?

    It’s a pan - three photos stitched together.

Early photos featured on this website were taken with a Canon S200. The S200 was replaced in Nov. 2006 with a Nikon P3. In Aug. 2007, I fell in love with a Nikon D40.
