@Tali: thank you:)
it's situated next to a Buddhist temple. I don't know the exact reason, but people put things on trees, like ribbons and pieces of cloth and other things.

Yes, what is on the trees?

I like the perspective and colors in this photo. Wish it were larger so I could see it better.

Hi Gandz, Very interesting picture. In the UK there is an very ancient tradition - from pre-christian (pagan) times that is usually associated with healing wells. Visitors would tie a piece of natural fabric to the branch of a 'clouty tree' and your suffering will reduce as the fabric rots! Interesting to see something similar in other cultures. Bob
