Sri Venkateswara Temple. Bridgewater, NJ. 11 July 2007.

I planned to visit two places on the same day in exactly this order: Devil's Tree and then this temple, which is literally minutes (and a drive down a few winding roads) away. I decided that should any lingering negativity follow me from that oft-talked about, storied site of what was supposed to be so much malevolence, I could easily shake it off here. It was sunny when I arrived, but the storm clouds that began to materialize at Devil's Tree followed me the few miles down into Bridgewater. Again, through the short sequence of photos, the sky does darken. However, the nearing drumroll of thunder was somehow comforting.
