The Tao and the Taoist Temple

The Tao and the Taoist Temple
Bikol River, Naga City
Sometimes, biking with a camera dangling from my neck brings me luck.
One morning, I happened to pass by Lt. Delfin Rosales Bridge
and caught this picturesque scene. I immediately stopped and dragged my bike
to the side and took this shot.
The dome in the background is the newest structure in the face of Naga City -
the Taoist Temple. Places of worship of various religions have started to sprout in the city.

I love your title. It is very clever :-)!

Amazing how we always had Taoist temples in different cities and yes, even the Catholics go there to light incense.

A compelling vision!

There's something abaout the city and its people that makes Naga a center for religion in Bicol.

meron na rin palang taoist temple ngayon sa naga, the farthest south i've seen before eh yung sa cebu.

this a nice capture, buti na lang worth it yung pagbitbit mo ng camera kahit hassle sa leeg :)
