Little did we know we were actually creating a small zen garden with our Japanese lantern and a bed of beautiful *friendship* rocks from our beach walks. I just looked up "Dogen" and was fascinated by his description!
"Sect Founder and Universal Philosopher. Zen master Dōgen (1200–1253) was the founder of the Sōtō sect, one of the five major denominations of Japanese Buddhism that spread rapidly in medieval Japan and remains an important religious movement in modern society."
Happy Fence Friday, Everyone!
Can't believe the weekend is already upon us!

A brief stop in the redwood forests of northern California. Many of these big trees are nearly as high as a 30 story building.

One of the hardest things about photographing the Redwoods is giving a sense of scale to these magnificent trees.
As we were hiking along the Founder's Tree Loop Trial, this couple came up behind us and stopped to allow me to take a photo. I told them that they could go ahead knowing that they would be a great addition to the image. When you compare them to the size of the trees and the root ball, you get a good appreciation of the size of these trees.
Location: Founder's Tree Loop, Rockefeller Forest, Avenue of the Giants.

Designed by Bob Bowlby and located in Oklahoma City, this stunning arched beauty is now threatened. People want to develop the land around the bank, and I hear that the bank is not part of the new plans for the site. So, I've put together a petition for people to sign letting developers know just how important this building is to our architectural landscape.
If you'd like to help us out and sign, here's the link to the petition: www.change.org/p/okie-mod-squad-save-the-founders-nationa...

Edro III ran aground near the sea caves at Peyia, Cyprus having been blown off course during a storm in December 2011. I went for a b+w conversion for this even though the colours of the sea and the rocks were really cool. I was pleased to capture a couple of shadowy on-lookers which I hope adds a little mystery...
I’m very excited to bring my first movie review of 2017 to you guys today! I’m going to set a goal for myself to see more movies than I did in 2016, so it all starts here with The Founder! Well, technically this movie is a 2016 movie, but that’s only because it came in limited release in December for Oscar consideration, but since it was in wide release this weekend, I’m counting this movie as a 2017 movie. I was very excited to see this movie because I thought this story was one that needed to be told and I really liked the trailers. Anyways, let’s check it out!
Good: Like I said before, I’m glad that this story was told because the creation of McDonald’s is really interesting and they adapted the story very well in this movie. Everyone in the cast gave a stellar performance, Michael Keaton as Ray Kroc was obviously the best part of this movie, I think this is my favorite performance of his besides Birdman. This movie really was a rollercoaster of how you felt about Kroc. At first, you felt bad for him and you rooted for him when he was creating this McDonald’s empire, it felt like a true american story. But then you really started to hate him as the movie continued on because of the way he treated the McDonald brothers. Speaking of the McDonalds brothers, also enjoyed the character of Dick McDonald played by Nick Offerman. The way Offerman captured Dick McDonald and all the things he invented for McDonald’s was so cool and how he and Kroc clashed in this movie was thrilling! The other performances were great in this movie, but I feel like those two stood out the most. Now I think my favorite part of this movie was the aesthetic. What I mean is I dig the 60s fast food restaurant vibe this movie had, it made me want to go back in time and have an original McDonald's burger and fries! Anyways, I think the filmmakers perfectly captured the time period of this movie!
Bad: My biggest complaints I have with this movie are really just technical stuff. I was not a fan of the sound mixing and the editing of this movie. In terms of sound, I felt this movie was really muffled and quiet, the soundtrack wasn’t all that great either. As for the editing, I caught some really weird flaws in the editing. There’s this one moment where Kroc’s at the cashier counter and McDonald’s and there there two area where you could order, Kroc was at first ordering from the left cashier, and then when they gave him his food, he was all the sudden on the ride cashier, like the the scene was accidently mirrored or something. My final gripe with this film was I wasn’t quite a fan of the storyline between Kroc and his wife, I don’t think they did a good job portraying it, those scenes felt rather lifeless.
In the end, I had a really good time watching the “origin story” of McDonald’s and this rather “rise of an empire” feel it had. I believe if you are either interested in the movie by the story, the trailers, or the performances that may get some Oscar nods, you should definitely go see this movie! I’m going to give The Founder an 8/10. If you have seen this movie, let me know what you thought of it in the comments below!
The Canara Bank was founded by Shri Ammembal Subba Rao Pai, a great visionary and philanthropist, in July 1906, at Mangalore in Karnataka.
Today's morning shot is my copycat image in honour of Chris Maverick, the the founder who saw Stephen Poff's 365 project here on flickr and set up the 365 Group which so many of us have joined and got so much out of.
There are currently well over 8000 members worldwide of this phenomenal group. Having completed the year long project myself I feel proud that I did it and so much good has come from it. The friendships and inspirations from being in it are amazing. Undoubtedly the best project I have ever done. There are many spin off groups. When he started 365 Days, he never had an idea that this thing would explode the way it has.
Day 3 of Morning week.
For Flickr Group Roulette and Founder's Day.
