View of the chancel of the Garnison Church of St Martin in Dresden. It was built between 1893 and 1900 and was once a military town for the Saxon army. Originally there were two separate church rooms, divided into a Roman Catholic and a Protestant part. Today, however, only the Roman Catholic part is used for religious purposes.
On my last visit to the church, I was impressed by the incidence of light in the chancel, and I am happy to share this photo with you.
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF YOU !
"Enlightenment is like everyday consciousness but two inches above the ground."
Quote - D.T. Suzuki
In the surroundings walls of the D.T. Suzuki Museum (鈴木大拙館, Suzuki Daisetsu Kan), Kanazawa, Japan, there are a few gaps, like this one, where you still can see the Water Mirror Garden.
The nicely shaped fountain (I think…..) stands in the small Roji Garden of the museum.

Being in Mid Winter my crepe myrtles have dropped all of their leaves The other day I noticed the sun shining on this web which was encasing the tip of this branch and was struck with how pretty it looked. I went inside a grabbed my camera, focused on the dead leaves and was surprised at how much bokeh I retained even at f/11.

I've crossed deserts for miles
Swam water for time
Searching places to find
A piece of something to call mine (I'm coming)
A piece of something to call mine (I'm coming)
Coming closer to you
Ran along many moors
Walked through many doors
The place where I want to be
Is the place I can call mine (I'm coming)
Is the place I can call mine (I'm coming)
Coming closer to you

A lonely Cyclamen flower, surrounded by wet green grass, welcomes the splendid sun rays through the woods canopy. Another day in Earth paradise...
Deep in the forest, there is a astonishing light...
... so I stand with joy & gratitude before you and can say heaven is a place on earth.
When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
—Chief Tecumseh
What a wonderful world, full of beauty and grace
Katie Melua - Wonderful Life
Buddha once said, all pain and suffering is due to our attachment to this world.
I say, be like the beautiful Lotus that rises above the murk of the filthy waters of this world - detached but not of this world.
An endless pursuit to enlightenment, we are a constant work in progress

The dazzling sun shines, illuminating the old chapel on a hill strewn with rocks. We can only get here by walking on an uphill path, since there is no carriage road. The stunning view compensates us, while the surrounding landscape radiates an incomparable sense of calm.

"Ignoramus et ignorabimus" (e.h. du Bois-reymond). In the short term, it may be due to the bounded rationality that this statement applies. But in the medium term to long term, I think, as a friend of the Enlightenment ("Sapere Aude"! - Dare to Be Wise! "(I. Kant)) and science, that many things can be rational and scientifically explained. For the unclear things, it needs still some time until they can be scientifically explained in the future.
This picture is part of an exhibition that I have been working on for the past months, I have done 8 pictures of Lighthouses that are Exhibited at FOCUS Gallery.

Enlightenment:
Insightful and open-minded. You are able to see the world with great clarity, without attachment to preconceived ideas about people, places, and things. This enables you to observe the world without jumping to conclusions.
