Amidst this blaze of western NY autumn color, this tidy little sugar shanty awaits the February/March post winter thaw when the sap begins to run again. Surely there is so much promise in the expectation, isn’t there?? October 10, 2008 Sheldon, NY

From an original pastel drawing by MoonSpiral. Om Shanti Om is a mantra for peace and she represents that spirit of peace.
Shanti, a Hindi word which means Peace. / / /
The photo was taken in Favela da Rocinha, the largest in the area. Rochina is characterised by Irregular, random, self-constructed houses with tijolos (bricks in portuguese) symbolizes the most what meets the eye at the favelas. The title was taken from the movie Cidade de Deus (City of God), 2002.
This fishing shanty is located on Green Bay. Not the city but theGreen Bay which is an arm of Lake Michigan, located along the south-west coast of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and the east coast of Wisconsin. Although I have taken photos in much more frigid temps…is was this a cold one. Please View Larger
The Henry Whitehead place.The ultimate log house, built in 1898. From logs sawn square at a nearby mill, a tight-fitting crib was built with hardly any spaces left to chink. The corners are worked to near perfection. Most of the interior log faces, ceiling joists and boards were dressed with a hand plane. How many endless strokes brought them up to this smoothness? The wall toward the prevailing wind was weatherboarded to keep out wind and rain, and to preserve the chinking. A brick chimney, rare for the Smokies, was made of brick molded and fired on the property. A transition house, this one is a beautiful blend of log work and sawmill technology. By contrast, the older cabin was built almost entirely with a felling axe under emergency circumstances. Rough-hewn logs with jagged ends, and the rubble stone chimney show the most hasty kind of construction. This pair of dwellings represents about the roughest and finest of log construction in the Smokies. Sepia tones can be ajusted on request by e-mail
Fractal Manipulation Om (Oṃ) / Like many mantras, this one begins with “Om”. Om has no meaning, and its origins are lost in the mists of time. Om is considered to be the primeval sound, the sound of the universe, the sound from which all other sounds are formed. / In the Brahminical tradition, from where Buddhism undoubtedly obtained mantra practice, Om is not just the universal sound, but the sound of the universe itself. For example in the (non-Buddhist) Mandukya Upanishad, it is said: / Om! — This syllable is this whole world. / Its further explanation is: – / The past, the present, the future — everything is just the word Om. / And whatever else that transcends threefold time — that, too, is just the word Om. / Om is therefore a sound symbolizing reality. It represents everything in the universe, past, present, and future. It even represents everything that is outside of those three times. It therefore represents both the mundane world of time in which the mind normally functions, and the world as perceived by the mind that is awakened and that experiences the world timelessly. It represents both enlightenment and non-enlightenment. please continue reading here: Wildmind Buddhist Meditation http://www.wildmind.org/mantras/figures/shanti

Who needs a guard dog when there’s a pile of watch-roosters around? (Actually, all five are one and the same bird—old Gus the Guard Rooster). Cock a doodle do / I am warning you / Set foot on this patch of ground / And I’ll chase you outta town! (Just for Fun image!)
Lightning Ridge [The Ridge] No, it’s not a dumping ground. It’s the house and garden of an opal miner in north-western NSW; what’s under the ground is way more important than what’s above the ground. The Ridge miners live and work in dust and 40+ degree temperatures and sceeze into very small spaces in the hope of striking it lucky! Out here they breed them tough. Most will tell you it’s a good life. Enlarge the image and take a close look into those gardens!
