Imagine my surprise when I came across these buildings south of the cities in what turned out to be the town of Hampton, among farm fields, pick-up trucks, and dirt roads.
Seems like there are still working on the bigger of the two buildings, but things like this always make me wonder what people hundreds, or even thousands, of years ago would have thought if they then had a brief vision of the future, perhaps a psychic vision of sorts. There they are, hiking thru nothing but woods for days. They wake up one morning, and in the half-sleep of early morning witness the bright golden light reflecting off the top of this temple. They then shake their head and rub their eyes, and when they look back they see nothing but trees, once again.
This beautiful place turns out to be the WATT MUNISOTARAM, MINNESOTA CAMBODIAN BUDDHIST SOCIETY, INC.
The odd thing is that this place is maybe a half a mile from another picture that I posted on 6/9 and there is little to nothing else in the whole area for miles.
