Another HDR image from 9 brackets taken at sunrise on Crummock Water, Lake District, UK. The first light hitting the mountain range on the opposite side of the lake, looked like it had set the hills on fire! Barely a cloud in the sky, a slight breeze, and a temperature of 1 degrees, typical Cumbria!

Music Link: TUU - "Rainfall" from their album "All Our Ancestors". Probably the most beautiful and successful of the TUU recordings, "All Our Ancestors" offers up an exotic, hushed and mysterious atmosphere that really seems to harken back to the ancients. An exceptional recording in its genre.

I took this picture during a trek in a awesome place called "The Tsingy Rouge". It is a stone formation of red laterite formed by erosion of the Irodo River in the region of Diana in northern Madagascar.
It is situated in the North of Madagascar, approximately 60 km south of Antsiranana near the town of Sadjoavato.

Welcome to the tranquil grounds of the D.T. Suzuki Museum in Kanazawa, Japan. This serene image captures the museum's contemplative walking path leading to a concrete doorway that opens up to a reflective water feature. The pathway, made of stone slabs set in gravel, guides visitors through a beautifully landscaped area. Lush greenery, including a tree with hanging branches and leaves, frames the scene, enhancing the sense of peace and introspection.
A visitor stands in the distance, either taking a photo or quietly observing the surroundings, adding a human element to the serene setting. The water feature at the end of the path mirrors the trees and sky, creating a harmonious blend of nature and architecture. This design encourages reflection and mindfulness, aligning perfectly with D.T. Suzuki's teachings on Zen and tranquility.
The use of concrete and stone in the architecture is a nod to minimalist design principles, creating clean lines and a stark contrast to the lush natural surroundings. The museum's layout promotes a sense of journey and discovery, inviting visitors to slow down and absorb the serene environment.
Whether you're exploring Zen philosophy or simply enjoying the peaceful ambiance, the D.T. Suzuki Museum offers a unique experience. The thoughtful design and natural elements come together to provide a space for quiet reflection and deeper connection with the principles of mindfulness.

Birds-eye view of Prague's Old Town as seen from the Pražský hrad (Prague Castle). The high-tech Žižkovský vysílač (Žižkov Television Tower) is visible in the background. Like many examples of communist-era architecture in Central and Eastern Europe, the TV tower used to be generally resented by the local inhabitants. Although official criticism during the time of its construction was impossible, unofficially the tower was lambasted for its 'megalomania' and its 'jarring' effect on the Prague skyline.
Step into the serene grounds of the D.T. Suzuki Museum in Kanazawa, Japan, a tranquil haven dedicated to the celebrated Buddhist philosopher Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki. This image captures the museum's water reflection garden, a key element that embodies Suzuki's teachings on Zen and mindfulness. The mirror-like surface of the water perfectly reflects the surrounding trees and the textured stone wall, creating a harmonious blend of natural and man-made beauty.
The stone wall, with its light-colored, textured surface, features a small rectangular opening near its base, inviting curiosity and contemplation. The wall serves as both a visual anchor and a symbol of the boundaries and connections between the physical and spiritual worlds. The lush greenery surrounding the pond includes a mix of vibrant green and autumnal hues, adding a rich tapestry of colors to the scene.
This tranquil setting encourages visitors to pause, reflect, and connect with nature. The garden's design, characterized by simplicity and elegance, aligns with the principles of Zen, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The water reflection garden is not only a visual delight but also a place for meditative practices, drawing visitors into a deeper state of mindfulness.
Whether you are a devotee of Zen philosophy or simply seeking a quiet moment of reflection, the D.T. Suzuki Museum provides an enriching experience that celebrates the harmony between nature and human artistry. This serene garden invites you to explore the depths of Zen teachings and the beauty of mindful living.

Bird's-eye view of the north part of the Jacques Cartier valley as seen from the end of the 17 kilometers (10.6 miles) Scotora trail culminating at 809 meters (2654 feet). The Scotora is one of the longest trails of the Jacques Cartier National Park in Québec, Canada.
An impressive, vertical-perspective shot captured within the interior courtyard of a modern Lisbon hotel. The view looks straight up toward the large glass skylight, which is crisscrossed by structural cables and trailing vines. The surrounding vertical walls are dramatically covered in dense living wall material and plantings, creating a striking urban oasis effect. Small, spherical pendant lights hang at varying heights, illuminating the white stucco architecture and adding warmth to the twilight sky visible through the clear roof. This design beautifully merges contemporary architecture with natural, textural elements.
