Ricoh GR II in Shanghai: Jing'an Temple at Dusk

Introduction

On our second day in Shanghai, as the sun set, we visited Jing'an Temple with my Ricoh GR II. The temple's Chinese architecture glowed against the modern city and a vibrant sky. I captured details of traditional pagodas and the bustling metropolitan area, noting the blend of Chinese and Japanese influences. Even a brick wall with faded handwriting caught my eye. As dusk deepened, the temple became a peaceful beacon, my GRII capturing the city's rich history and present beauty.
