Shoes lined up in rows next to a rose outside of Gurdwara Bradshaw.
The respect before entering the temple
The blooming roses are beautiful!
wonderful angle!
happy WW
u got plenty of shoes in there!

I see this scene often whenever I pass by a temple, be it Chinese or Indian.
Roses and shoes – original contrast!
What a lovely image! And it’s great to see your guide photo finally up!!!
Probably a contrast in smells, too.
Wonderful photo. I, too, immediately thought of the aromas connected with these two.
I always the humility this ritual is geared to engender. We humans sometimes get too full of ourselves.
(sorry!)the missing word is: appreciate
Look at all those souls..(geddit?)
Best for Wed,
Chimera
I love the composition of this photo! Kudos!
What a great contrasting picture. The roses are beautiful!
Few things in this world are lovelier than red roses.
Nice shot! I like the fact that you can’t see what’s beyond the far wall… Endless possibilities.
Great picture! I felt like I was sneaking, trying to catch a glimpse of what’s going on in there. Such an interesting culture, I’d love to know more!
Here is my post for today. Happy WW!
I like the juxtaposition/contrast of the two (shoes/roses). Cool photo.
Fantastic! Both subjects seem to be waiting tranquilly until they are needed again! happy WW!
Another wonderful picture, Sukhmandir, thanks! Kate
Very good picture. It’s something you would expect to find in National Geographic.
Love your Wordless Wednesdays
Nice.. added you to the About list!
Thanks Barb – coming from a collector of collectables that means something
Great photo…!
Nice play on words and contrast.
Great photo and I like your play on words too!
Lovely composition on this shot. I really appreciate the juxtaposition of reverence and beauty, as well. Thanks for sharing!
What a lovely photo. I so enjoyed reading about gurdwara and finding out more about Sikhism.
Thanks for visiting my blog. This a very cool shot! I love what it represents!!
The thing that struck me w/ this picture is you have two things with completely contrasting smells! I love the tradition of removing shoes when you enter a person’s home or the like. Thanks for sharing!
What a lovely picture! It makes me think of all the different people who own the shoes-being a barefoot girl, myself.
