Wilton Hindu Temple
My head snapped to the left as I passed a red and white striped building with onion domes and animal statues. So, I pulled in, of course. It is a four year old Hindu temple.
That's fascinating. The mix of architectural styles with a little Muslim touch. Buddha eyes on a Hindu temple. It's an American religious mix.
BTW, my firm had a retirement luncheon for me today and my partner who retired a few years ago to SW Florida came all the way up. She lives in Estero now, which I think is near Naples, and says I should make the trip.

That is sure an attention grabber, Jack.
What a fun looking building! Love the Indian sculptures, aka from India.
A fine looking temple, and the brightly striped building is a surprise. Love the eyes on the wall.
That would stop me in my tracks too. It's very attractive.
Different.
Quite unexpected.
Peppermint stripes... how odd! Looks like a circus tent.
