I shoot this photo at the Mazu Temple in Keelung. It was built in 1815, followed by reconstruction and some statue decoration.
This dragon column carving is quite three-dimensional, the dragon's expression is also lifelike. There are also many exquisite reliefs on the walls telling some religious stories. It's worth of visiting and appreciating those artistic carving.great04.gif

這張照片是在基隆「慶安宮」拍攝的。
台灣的廟宇雕刻有相當的藝術性,最有名的自然是三峽的祖師廟,吸引了非常多的遊客及藝術創作者去觀摩與學習。有「李梅樹」教授的名聲加持,讓三峽祖師廟有「東方藝術殿堂」的美稱。
這間廟宇的雕刻當然沒有這麼有名,但是還是可以看得出來,這個龍柱雕刻得相當立體,龍的表情也栩栩如生。牆面上也有許多精緻的浮雕,述說一些宗教故事,蠻值得認真欣賞。like02.gif
