Stairway to the Past...




Hsi Lai Temple, Hacienda Heights, California

"Life is a series of steps.  Things are done gradually.
Once in a while there is a giant step, 
but most of the time we are taking small, 
seemingly insignificant steps on the stairway of life."
Ralph Ransom



I'm taking a break from my regular Mammoth posts...
I hope you enjoy these shots I chose from my archives!

    It looks so much more exotic than what I picture for Hacienda Heights!

    Fine composition. I like the decorated wall and the different angles of the steps.
