One of the upsides of traveling in Winter is that there are not many tourists around, locals or otherwise. So you get to experience places alone. It was a bit of a schlep up to this pagoda, but once there, I spent ten minutes experiencing the scene with no one else present. I got my shots. When I revisit later, during warmer months, I won't be bothered so much about all the tourists milling around obstructing my view. I will feel free to take other kinds of photographs.
