I am often struck by the messages written at the entrances to temples and often stop to ponder their content. Many of them seem too high level for me, though😅
The first picture is very nice. It's hard to capture the moment when a bird takes flight on camera.
Up until this day, I had never noticed temples with writing at their entranceways. I must not be looking close enough. This one, luckily, had an English translation. The sign in Japanese was written in calligraphic writing, so I had a hard time reading the kanji in it.
