In a place as surreal as this, its hard not to day dream. This was taken at an ancient, monastery which was destroyed by Henry the eighth once upon a time. Sort of represents what i was feeling at this time, not this exact moment but this part of my life. Stopping for a second, trying to figure out where wanted to go, how i would get there. Taking a brief moment to reflect.

This view, of the mountain and prayer flags, taken at Ganden monastery in Tibet was magical. The air was thin and the walking tough, but it was worth it. SOLD: One Framed Print to the lovely Sal. Thank you Sal!

Monks putting the final touches to a sand mandala at Thyangboche Monastery, Nepal. The mandala is made for the Mani Rimdu festival which starts on the full moon of October. It is later then ritually dismantled and the sand washed into the Imja Khola river which is a tributary of the great Dudh Koshi (milk river). This is symbolic of the transient nature of things. For the monks the beauty rests in the meditative process of creation. Nikon D80, Nikkor AF-DX Fisheye 10.5mm / F2.8, 1/60, ISo 450 / /

On the grounds of the Oka monastery, in Oka Quebec, is a blacksmith shop. On Saturday December 6th/08 while attending a Christmas craft fair, held in one of the barns, the public was invited to witness the blacksmith at work. / These artisans still use the tools of their forefathers. Today they produce various iron decorative objects such as candelabras and coffee tables in their shop in addition to the traditional work associated with rural life such as gates, agricultural tools, and horsehoes. It was a fascinating experience watching this young man demonstrate the skills needed for this ancient trade. Photoshop Elements used: Unsharp Mask

Fountains Abbey was founded by Benedictine monks in 1132 and taken over by the Cistercians three years later. By the mid-12th century it was the richest abbey in Britain. The Abbey fell into ruins during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century. Today you can still almost hear them…

Tian Tan Buddha at Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island off the Hong Kong Airport, is an imposing sight. This 85 feet bronze statue is the world’s tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha. In its presence, one is dwarfed not just in stature, but in true understanding and perception of life and universe.

/ From the Series Patterns of India.... Heavily textured Mixed Media on Paper, with Gold and Copper Leaf. This song of mine will wind its music around you, / my child, like the fond arms of love. / The song of mine will touch your forehead / like a kiss of blessing. When you are alone it will sit by your side and / whisper in your ear, when you are in the crowd / it will fence you about with aloofness. My song will be like a pair of wings to your dreams, / it will transport your heart to the verge of the unknown. / It will be like the faithful star overhead / when dark night is over your road. My song will sit in the pupils of your eyes, / and will carry your sight into the heart of things. / And when my voice is silenced in death, / my song will speak in your living heart. Tagore

Featured in Historic Churches Group May – 27 – 2009 / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- Nikon D300 Sigma 15/30 / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- Admont Benedictine Monastery Admont Benedictine Monastery lies in the market town of Admont in Austria at the entrance to the Gesäuse National Park. It was founded in the year 1074 by Archbishop Gebhard of Salzburg and is thus the oldest extant foundation in Styria. The Admont Benedictines attempt to live by the Rule of St. Benedict (“house rules” for a monastic community), which through its breadth and depth has achieved much of important over the centuries and indubitably offers orientation for the future. The rhythm of their life is stamped by prayer, the fulfilment of manifold tasks in pastoral care, education, culture and in social areas and through the personal deepening of their lives. In this God is always the central point. This is especially true of the life style of the Admont Benedictines whereby the church is seen as the centre of the foundation. In addition to serving 26 parishes, the Monastery runs a nursing home in Frauenberg, a secondary school and further businesses which have roughly 500 secular employees. The main cultural attraction of the Monastery is the Baroque library and the new large museum. Nearness to God and the faith that determines the life of the monks can be felt throughout the whole Monastery grounds. This is also true of the library and museum and equally for the gardens around our house. Thus Admont Monastery is a spiritual, cultural and economic centre of important far beyond the region.

Tynemouth Priory was founded early in the 7th century. / In 800 the Danes plundered Tynemouth Priory. / Afterwards the monks strengthened the fortifications sufficiently to prevent / the Danes from succeeding when they attacked again in 832. / However, in 865 the church and monastery were destroyed by the Danes. / At the same time, the nuns of St Hilda, who had come there for safety, were massacred. The priory was again plundered by the Danes in 870. / / The priory was destroyed by the Danes in 875. / The small parish church of St Mary remained. / This Chapel is behind the Blue door. / When entering it is truly stepping back in time.
