A detailed photograph captures the elaborate multi-tiered roof of a traditional Taiwanese temple, likely located in the Ruifang District of New Taipei City, Taiwan. The scene is viewed from a high vantage point during late afternoon, looking out towards a coastal landscape. The primary subject is the temple's roof, constructed with numerous reddish-orange clay tiles. The highest visible roof ridge features vibrant, intricate ceramic ornamentation. Centrally positioned on this ridge are three static statues, depicting figures in traditional attire. Flanking these central figures are two prominent, stylized dragon statues, colored in greens, blues, and reds, with their heads curving upwards and outwards from the center. Additional colorful mythological figures, including phoenix-like birds, and floral motifs adorn the roof's eaves and lower ridges, showcasing a palette of green, blue, yellow, red, orange, and gold. In the midground and background, multiple layers of verdant, forested hills and mountains recede into the distance, appearing hazy under the diffused sunlight. Beyond the hills, a calm, light-blue body of water, identified as the ocean or a large bay, curves along a coastline dotted with small towns or settlements. Distant urban structures and an arched bridge are visible along the far horizon. The sky above is a gradient from soft yellow and orange near the horizon to pale blue higher up, with scattered horizontal cloud formations. Dark green foliage from nearby trees, some with yellowed leaves, partially frames the lower right foreground. No individuals, actions, or interactions are present within the frame.
