The shot shows depth of field depicting the length of the pool. This is a very magical refreshing temple to visit, pray and embrace and absorb the peace.

This is a prayer pool in the Holy Springs temple Tikta Empul. The people go and pray under the water spouts. If you need something healed you bathe in one section and if you have done something wrong to someone you bathe in a different section. I guess it is sort of like a purification process. Pretty interesting to experience. I like balance of the focal point on the child sitting on the edge of the pool in comparison to the crowd of people lined up waiting patiently to perform their prayer.

This photo is showing the action of the people in prayer under the water spouts coming directly from the hot springs through into this pool.
