Well what else could I do for a China-based 'P' - pagodas are one of the most traditional images of China. These pagodas are in Zhengding, and with the restored historical street and it's low rise skyline this is one of the few places in China you can get a photo like this!
This is the unusual Indian-style pagoda at Guanghui Temple.
Meanwhile this is the aptly named Lofty Pagoda at Tianning Temple.
See what other people have come up with for 'P' at abc wednesday.

ReplyDeleteloved those statues outside the pagodas too
ReplyDeleteI can't take my eyes off of those fascinating statues either!
ReplyDeletePardon my ignorance but are pagodas generally found on the sites of Buddhist temples?
ReplyDeleteIn Scotland, there are several whisky distelleries with pagoda shaped cooling rooves. A strange sight to come across in the Highlands.
Lovely "P" photos, J. Very interesting pagodas and statuary. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely pictures.
ReplyDeletePagoda is perfect for a P from China. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteI like how you manage to get your photographs without the modern interference and let us look at them like in the old days.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pagodas. And such beautiful photos. Interesting how the roofs are different in each one. And each photo has something special - the line of undulating roofs, the very interesting sculpture, the cherry blossom...
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great post.
