More pics from the temple of heaven

The actual temple and an inside view




Surrounding the area is the "echo wall."  Here's the wall and the description.







  Of course, we had to try it out.  


Shawna was a bit hesitant ... but no surprise. Sara was happy to test her pipes against the wall. 

And really-- you don't have to yell. And surprisingly- it really works. Dan and Seth were on the other side and could here us talking to them. It was pretty cool. Of course, Vivian was in hand with the assist to make sure that we stood in the correct place etc. 



Next up?  The circular mound.  Constructed in 1530, the mound was an alter used to worship the heavens at the beginning of the winter solstice.
