Hi my steemians friends,

Today, I want to share with you this amazing part of the world:

Garraf Buddhist Monastery

Tibetan Buddhist Monastery Shakya Tashi Ling

This amazing Monastery is located in Garraf Natural Park, Catalonia (Spain).
The place is part of the Garraf mountains, near Castelldefels and Sitges so there is almost no civilization around.
It's a quiet and peaceful place. This is the perfect place if you want to relax!

It is only open on weekends and you have to pay for a guided tour in Spanish if you want to get inside the temple. It was closed when I arrived (after 18 pm) so I only visited the outside which is already incredibly beautiful!

As you can see the surroundings are incredible (hills, trees, flowers, bright sunshine). It's tree, in particular, caught my attention during my visit. Do you know what it is?

It is an almond tree and also had fresh almonds that I could not resist ... But the test did not live up to my expectations XD. Yuck, almonds had a taste of Amaretto ... What the fluck ...? hahahahaha πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

In summary, you can't visit Catalonia without having discovered Garraf Buddhist Monastery! I highly recommend going there, if you want to take a break. It is a very refreshing place to hide from a crowded city like Barcelona.

This picturesque and charming temple will seduce you, I'm sure!
What do you think my friends? It makes you want to visit ???

Ok so the flower's clarity is really nice. This is why I contend that photography is art, you can take something ordinary and make it extraordinary.

It's exactly why I love to play eith reality in the way of photography. πŸ“Έ

Que buenas tomas hiciste @flamingirl me imagino como hubiese sido si hubieras entrado jajaja fiel seguidor de tu trabajo. Feliz inicio de semana!!

You know a significan reason in why temples and other places of worship were built with really high sealings or roofs was that it made then people who entered in to feel insignificant to their creator. It kindof kept people inline, reminding that there is something bigger than them. That's part of why you feel calm at a lot of these places.

I can definitely feel that when going into those spaces. I didn't realize why I felt that way until you mentioned it. The environment definitely plays on your psychology.

Not that I am saying that it is the only contributing factor, but it indeed does play a role. Thanks for the reply
