A Sikh is an adherent to Sikhism. A Sikh can easily be recognized by his turban, beard, or by a steel bracelet on the right wrist. This one in particular was our taxi driver to the airport…he took a few off road adventures to try to get us there on time…. See more of my India Series here

My daughter has had the oppurtunity of going to a school that has kids from lots of different cultures. It is an oppurtunity that i never had until I got to University. That is one of the reasons I love Halifax so much. When I saw this image for the first time, I immediately thought that it had a powerful mesage in it. friendship, love, & “racial harmony”. I have signed releases from the girls in this picture and from their parents.

Full Moon Hoku / Wailea Beach / Maui Hawai’i Ko’i / Sacred Sunrise Ceremony honouring Ko’i, (the Hawaiian stone Adze) which is an ancient Hawaiian Pohaku (stone) tool still used today, which is crafted from the hardest basalt pohaku found on stone quarries throughout the Hawaiian Islands. “Highly prized by Hawaiians, for it helped to shape the world of Hawaiians to survive in the most remote and isolated place in the midst of the Pacific Ocean”. The Ko’i helped to fell trees to build canoes, build hales (homes), carve bowls, weapons and many other important implements which help and protect the people of Hawai’i Nei” This ceremony was hosted by the Maui Chamber of Commerce. My husband Jacob Mau is na Kupuna o Maui, he is a Hawaiian Elder of Maui, and he is in one of a fleet of 12 canoes on the horizon as Kanaka (Hawaiians) dance Haka and chant Olelo greeting the full moon at sunrise as they are calling in the Kanaka Kupuna (Hawaiian Elders) in traditional Hawaiian language, chanting and song. It was so beautiful. This is a presentation representative of the 12 Moku (districts) of Maui with a Kanaka Kupuna (Hawaiian Elder) representing each Moku bearing a ho’okupu (gift) of a pohaku (stone) from their moku (district) in honour of Ko’i. The Ko’i and Pohaku, the Ho’okupu are transported on the canoes with Na Kupuna O Maui, and upon their arrival at sunrise on the beach near the Grand Wailea, a sacred ceremony took place including a presentation of Maui’s 12 Moku (districts), represented by 12 Pohaku (volcanic stones) placed by their respective Kupuna on the Ahu (altar). This is in recognition of all districts of Maui and for all the people of this island beginning with Honuaula, the location where we are here at Wailea Beach, to Kahikinui, Kaupo, Kipahulu, Hana, Ko’olau, Hamakualoa, Hamakuapoko, Wailuku, Ka’anapali, Lahaina, and Kula. I have many more images to publish with more information on this beautiful sunrise ceremony so please, check back soon for updates.

Amsterdam SouthEast – multicultural and hospitable – Inhabitants day / Photojournalism – local news – documentary Photo made during a demonstration of the folding of the traditional Curacao head coverings ( Lensu) , in Amsterdam Southeast (Amsterdam Southeast Inhabitants day – Saturday 20 september 2009) Note: It was brought to my attention that the head coverings demonstrated were not originating from Suriname, but from Curacao. Underneath info refers to Suriname head coverings – I am waiting for additional information to correct this description. These head coverings are a specific part of the traditional dress from the Afro -Surinamese women or Creoles in Suriname. The koto was developed during the slavery period in Suriname; its special purpose was to protect the Afro-Surinamese woman against their masters’ sexual interest. / The folding of the angisa sends a social message, for example “Let them talk”. (Source Wikipedia) / Other meanings may be “Go to hell” or “Wait for me around the corner” ===== Photograph made with Pentax K10D camera and Pentax 18-55 lens This image was featured in the group 50+ / Comments and feed-back always welcome. Thanks for looking :) / Black and white version / The folding of Suriname traditional head coverings

Ka Nohona i Ka La’i / Dwelling in Tranquility Pa’ako Beach Makena / Maui Hawai’i Scroll down for more images of this beautiful beach Being Alive by Joseph Campbell “People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.” Copyright 2009 – 2010 © Sharon Mau / ourjrny / The Heart Within the Art / My images do not belong to the public domain. / Reproduction is strictly prohibited. / All rights reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time: 30 August 2009 12:34:40 PM / Tv 1/250 / Av 10.0 / ISO 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / One-Shot AF / Drive Mode Single-frame shooting
