….this is not a set up shot !

…light plays with form,
in the matrix of mystery,
exploring the interplay,
as it happens – wherever I am…
that’s it – peace | love

thanks Roz, very fortunate to get this, as His Holiness tends to avoid the lens, but we have been friends for a while, and he likes what I shoot, thanks for the visit, looks like you enjoyed the stop :-)
