Nanjing Usnisa palace

 

An example of architecture abstractions in photography. About halfway our 2018 Shanghai trip, we took a short organized three day excursion to Nanjing, Yangzhou and Zhenjiang. The first stop was at the Nanjing Usnisa Palace, a formidable complex that houses relics of the Buddha Siddhartha Gautama. The architecture is incredible, and the visit was unforgettable.  Here we have a detail of the roof of the entrance building - a stunning abstraction full of twists and turns.
