Namtso is one of the three holy lakes in Tibet and significant for Tibetan Buddhists. Kora is a Tibetan word that means "circumambulation" or "revolution". Kora is both a type of pilgrimage and a type of meditative practice in the Tibetan Buddhism. Thus, Namtso Kora means pilgrimage walk around the Lake Namtso.
Namtso literally means heavenly lake in Tibetan language. Located around 240km northwest of Lhasa, capital of Tibet, it takes four hours’ driving from Lhasa. Extending 70 km from east to west and 30 km from south to north, the lake covers an area of 1,920 sq km and has an altitude of 4748 m above sea level. It is biggest lake in Tibet and the second biggest salt lake in China as well as one of the highest lakes in the world. The water in the lake is crystally clear and blue. The blue sky joins the surface of the lake in the distance, creating an integrated, scenic vista.
In every Tibetan year of sheep, thousands of Tibetan Buddhism believers will come here to worship this sacred lake. As a rule, they will walk clockwise along the Namtso Lake in order to receive the blessing of the gods.
There are several fine Tibet treks around the lake. The shortest one is roughly 4 kilometers and takes less than one hour. It starts from the accommodation area to a hermit’s cave hidden behind a large spinter of rock. The kora continues to a rocky promontory of cairns and prayer flags. At the promontory, pilgrims undertake a ritural washing in the lake. And then the trail continues past several caves and a prostration point where there are two rock towers looking like two hands. Pilgrims squeeze into the deep slices of the nearby cliff face as a means of sin detection or drink water dripping from cave roofs, even swallow holy dirt.

he doesn’t move. the ocean, the breeze, the sailboats — none of it touches him. bent over a glowing screen, with his face in shadow and light behind him, he becomes the emblem of now. he sits like punctuation at the edge of the frame: a full stop at the end of the day, waiting for something that won't return.
Waterfilm is a series filmed since 2012 based on the idea of filming with a freehand camera for a period of exactly one minute. This series illustrates the meditative qualities of water in an urban environment. It is my belief that the close observation of this essential element has the ability to influence our perceptions. Each film is intended to be a short meditation – take your time to feel it, but don’t swim away too far...

I can lose track of time while creating watercolor images. It's a meditative activity when I dive into painting. Here's to finding the things that give one pleasure.
"Octopuses have three hearts. Two of the hearts work exclusively to move blood beyond the animal’s gills, while the third keeps circulation flowing for the organs. The organ heart actually stops beating when the octopus swims, explaining the species’ penchant for crawling rather than swimming, which exhausts them."

Stone stacking, or rock balancing, is the art of balancing stones without support. It is a temporary, meditative practice found worldwide. It represents harmony, requires skill and patience, and creates transient sculptures in natural settings. While controversial due to environmental impact, it offers a unique connection to nature and artistic expression.
Located on a hill west of Dong Nai River, Buu Long Pagoda is about 20km from the center of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The building has typical architecture of the harmonious combination of Thai and Indian cultures and the quintessence of Nguyen Dynasty architecture.
that "L" place again......usually worth a slight detour to enjoy the meditative tranquility.

There's something so meditative about this process!
Using up my yarn stash and beads is so rewarding!
From a recent hike into the sandblows at Tamala Park Conservation area. The location is always so quiet and peaceful. It never fails to put my mind at rest. such a meditative place.
The sea withdraws, and in its absence the shore speaks—patterns etched by time, silence shaped by rhythm. Each retreat is a revelation, each return a promise.

Across the desert south of Las Vegas, Nevada, rises a large, colorful anomaly. Seven colossal stone forms defy gravity with their teetering formations. The shapes, reminiscent of naturally-occurring hoodoos, seem poised between monumentality and collapse. The mammoth contemporary cairns created by internationally-renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone evoke the art of meditative rock balancing, and mark his place in the history of Land Art. The display will last through 2018.

For 120 pictures in 2020 #71 "Meditation/meditative", this is the pavillion at the South Texas Botanical Gardens in Corpus Christi, Texas. This is a large area within the main gardens where you can sit in the shade and enjoy the scents and peacefulness of the gardens. The gardens only recently reopened and are requiring guests to wear masks and maintain social distancing (which was easy to do on this visit - it wasn't crowded at all). And not all the areas were open, mostly the indoors ones and the interactive show and tells they normally have.

Near the end of a mountain bike ride around a non-mountain (an island with a long beach) just on dusk. The light was changing and I got rewarded for my efforts.

Olympus E-M5.
Although he looks meditative, he was fishing, and he holds a device used for capturing "sand fleas" a type of small crustacean used as bait. But, who knows what he was thinking at the time.
A long, meditative line of turbines stands between sea and sky — quiet guardians of the wind.
