Shuang Lin Monastery (1)

To continue the tour of Singapore's National Monuments, a visit to the oldest Buddhist monastery (est. 1898) had to be scheduled. Located in a agricultural area when built, the monastery now lies between the Central Expressway and HDB developments. A visit of the site is definitely rewarding.

This first shot is of the entrance gate viewed from the inside courtyard to take advantage of the sun rays and interesting cloud cover. I could not resist a little tonal improvement in post processing to give some "punch" to the sky.
