A wondrous sight!
Thank you Animalcouriers!
A magical photo, Michael … it’s so difficult to manage a good shot when it’s on the border to get dark. Wonderful job here.
Thank you Viveka!
This is absolutely beautiful!
Glad that you like the photo!
Beautiful! I love the red lanterns against the dark wood — and you were there at just the right time to capture the moon! http://ohtheplaceswesee.com
The moon was a little too high. It makes the photo a bit too long when included in the picture; but how can I miss the moon out from the picture? Thanks for the continued perusal, Rusha!
Magically beautiful!
Thank you tiny lessons blog!
Marvelous photo… I just love the building style… different to any where else in the world… unique to the Chinese and so beautiful… thanks for the share…
Hi bulldogsturf, you are quite right. The building style is even quite unique in China, if you look carefully at the roof features and color and these buildings are built on the edge of the river with some supports very close to the edge! Regards, Michael
I can imagine those eyes to be those of red eyed monsters! And the moon above it makes it all the more creepy. I love how your photos prompt the imagination!
I think I only set the scene and it will be up to readers to imagine!
I have never been here. Seems to be an interesting place to visit . It is in Hunan, I just found out from Google. I saw some other Images of the same site. Similar ancient structure, but none as beautiful as yours. Thanks for an excellent post.
Hi friendlytm, I have one post Phoenix- FengHuang Ancient China City under Travel China, in case you are interested, you are welcome to peruse.
Thanks very much for the kind comment and interest, Michael

Great picture…
Thanks Stephanie for reblogging this on! Michael
Wow it’s an amazing shot! The moon… it just seems to dominate all despite its small size contrasting with the houses…
Although the moon is a bit high, it defintively was something not to be missed from ths picture. Thanks for the comment evilnymphstuff.
Amazing photo! I want to go there!!!
Thank you travellingleila!
