Since it is still Buddha's Birthday for another hour or so, I decided to share with you a few pictures from a couple of the Buddhist temples around Busan. 

Right now Korea is covered with beautiful lanterns for the occasion

Part of me wishes I could decorate my house with them, they look so festive. 

This one is obviously my favorite.  I just love the bright beautiful colors.

I went over to Yeong-gungsa which is my favorite temple to take some pictures and see all the lanterns (although there weren't that many and I was kind of sad).


But the day was beautiful and I just sat out on the rocks away from the crowds and took some pictures.  This is one of the panorama shots that I wish showed up bigger.





I also love how the black and white pictures of the temple look so timeless. 

I half expect to see the date 1950 scrawled in a corner somewhere even though I just took this picture last weekend.

From the big expansive temples of Busan,


to small temples tucked away in the mountains,

Buddha had a great birthday, and that you had a lovely day as well.


From Busan with Peace and Love,
