AI Thread Summary
A recent outing in southern Ontario highlighted the stunning fall colors along the Credit River Valley, with beautiful photos capturing the vibrant scenery. The trip also included a visit to a newly completed Indian temple, notable for its hand-built structure without nails or screws, crafted by hundreds of stone masons over two years. Photography is prohibited on the temple grounds, which is open to visitors with strict rules against smoking, cameras, and inappropriate attire. The discussion reflects appreciation for the temple's architectural beauty and curiosity about the restrictions on photography. Participants express interest in sharing photos of similar temples and cultural experiences, noting differences in cultural norms regarding dress and behavior between Indian communities abroad and in India.

It was such a beautiful day here in southern Ontario Barb and I decided to take a lil drive. We took a few photos on our trip. The Credit river valley is 2 minutes from our place, so we shot the fall colours. There are some beautiful colours right outside our apt. Next we drove to the area of a new Indian temple that was completed this year. It is hand built, No nails fasteners or screws in the whole place. Several hundred stone masons frim India spent 2 years on site cutting and placing each stone. I could only shoot from the outside as cameras are not allowed on the property. Follow the link for more photos.

Beautiful photo of the fall colors, I just love it. The building is a work of art, I wonder why no cameras are allowed?
 
It is open for visitors from 9 am till 8 pm however the sign says no smoking, no cameras, no cell phones, no inappropriate dress. Any violators will be kindly escorted off the property. I was so looking foreward to getting some close ups.
 
We have a temple like that here in NJ. I went inside on a festival day. What delight.
 
I could probably get you guys some photos of temples/gurudwaras if you're interested. Sometimes I think Indians abroad take the whole inappropriate manner and dress thing a lot more seriously than people in India do.
 
Nice photos. I love that building. I had no idea they still made buildings like that!
 
Nice pics :smile:
