The gate that fans out

It's been a long time since I've posted from this account. Let me start by an entry to the Shadow Hunter's contest hosted by @melinda010100.

This image was taken in a temple in Taiwan last year as I was travelling around the country. This is an angle from a typical temple with red lanterns and a traditional round shape entrance from the side. The shadows on the ground are from the weapons on display. These weapons are found in many temples and I think they are supposed to belong to the gods that protect the temple and the people. I like how the weapon shadow drops on the floor makes it looks like an extension of a gate fanning outwards.
