Evening Reflection Calls

Image taken at the Dayanta "Wild Goose" Pagoda, an World Heritage site (since 2014) in southern Xi'an, along the Silk Road. This link has more information about the role it played and its history for those interested - https://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/shaanxi/xian/bigwildgoose.htm
The photo was taken during the day, processed in LR and Topaz Textures to create the mystical evening feel (I hope!).
Thanks again for all your wonderful comments on the landscapes from our morning hike. More to come from the evening one, but it seemed time for a change.

[Rachel]

Stunning and instant FAV for me. So, so beautiful!

[Rosie Kind]

Great processing

[Taffy]

@vignouse Thanks so much, Richard! I always value your opinion. All this processing started because of a pesky garbage can that ruined the mood and I couldn't get it out cleanly. In the end, I was grateful for the can being in it as I would not have otherwise spent so much time on it and I rather liked how it turned out.
