Photography Tips

From this spot anything but ultrawide will be difficult to compose since the foreground trees will be awkwardly cut from the image frame. I challenge you to take a normal lens ;)

Travel Information

Just remember that it is a holy site and respect your surroundings and don't be noisy or destructive.
