Lotus temple

One of the things that I find fascinating in Asia is that a temple that looks ruined down by the climate can be 500 year old or 50. Unlike in Europe where you can estimate the age of a structure based on its architectural style and the state of the stones, in the jungle a "young" temple may look as old as an "old" temple.
The Lotus temple is Ubud is one of those. It looks old but it was built in the 1950s.
We had to fight with the rain and the numerous tourists to get decent pictures. But you know Wolfram, he would wait until the perfect shot :)
