A "Seunim" (Buddhist priest) at Seokguram Temple on Jeju Island, South Korea.
Published as part of my photo essay on Seokguram Temple in this week's edition of the Jeju Weekly.

After driving 20 minutes along a steep winding road from Jeju City, I arrived at the parking lot for Seokguram temple. Built in the 1950's, the Buddhist temple is a popular destination for those who want a short hike while still enjoying the natural scenery around Mt. Halla.
As I prepared to go up the 1.5 km trail, I was struck by something odd. There were two piles of bags on the left and the right side of the trailhead. I learned that one pile is for items that have been brought down the mountain and one pile for items that need to be brought up to the temple. Anybody can volunteer their time to help. As if on cue, a man hurried down the trail and dropped off an empty gas tank in front of me.
Cold and barren at the bottom of the trail, things began to look up as I reached the upper areas close to the temple. Three woman just ahead of me were trudging their way to the top, surrounded by beautiful red pines and bathed in golden early morning sunlight. It was a welcome contrast to the patches of snow and remnants of winter a few meters behind me.
A brand new walkway with shiny orange ropes announced my arrival at Seokguram. Nestled in the breast of Halla mountain and surrounded by towering granite walls, it is a stunning location.
As I entered the temple, I was greeted by a friendly woman who introduced herself and led me to the main room. Here I was met by an amazing array of sights, sounds, colors, and aromas: men and woman praying on the floor, colorful fruit and figurines arranged on tables, smoking incense...
At 10 am the Seunim, or priest, arrived at the room to perform her daily prayers. An imposing figure with piercing eyes, closely cropped hair, and an expansive smile, she sat down and immediately started her prayers. For more than two hours she preached, mixing traditional calls for good health and prosperity with modern concerns like passing exams, getting a good job, and success in business. It was an impressive performance.
As she left the room and walked down the hallway, light poured through the open windows and illuminated her. I quickly snapped a photo. A strong portrait of an equally strong willed woman and the highlight of an enlightening day.

A pujari or archaka is a Hindu temple priest. They are responsible for performing temple rituals, including puja and aarti, and taking care of murtis. Pujaris are mainly drawn from the Hindu Brahmin caste. Both men and women can be pujaris.
Throughout India, pujaris act as counselors during Hindu festivities and festivals. Pujaris have a reputation for being learned. They conduct Hindu prayer services.
[edit] Other meaningsPujari is an also Indian surname which means "priest".

The site museum at Saqqara is named after Imhotep, the first recorded architect who is credited with the construction of the nearby Step Pyramid, the World's oldest architectural monument. The museum opened in 2006 and has a small but well displayed collection relating to the Saqqara necropolis.
There are some especially fine pieces of sculpture as well as funerary equipment and fragments from King Djoser's Step Pyramid complex, including an entire section of the faience-tile covered walls from the galleries situated below the pyramid (which have never been open to the public).
Situated near the tourist entrance to the Saqqara necropolis the museum is a good introduction to the ancient site (though some may prefer to walk its air-conditioned halls after exploring the hot and arid desert ruins).
Processed this with a custom preset I titled Roman Nose. I have a normal version, and a light version. It's been fun to develop this and I like the results it gives.

On the sides is the offering formula, and the eyes of Horus, so that the deceased could see out.

The priest was seated with magnificent 10-ft tall sculptures on either side of him, his saffron robes adding a splash of colour to the black stone interior of Halebid's 12th-13th century temple. His hand was poised over the container of holy water even as he looked down at the book he was reading. He glanced upwards to offer the holy water and then promptly went back to his book. :) Multi-tasking seems to be a universal trait. (Hmm. Wonder what he was reading.)
Date should read June 20, 2011.

When the Priory of Lewes was dissolved by Henry VIII during the Reformation, its property, including Priest House, was seized by the crown. Ownership passed to Henry's Chancellor, Thomas Cromwell, and after his execution for treason it was granted to Anne of Cleves. When Anne died the estate passed in turn from both Mary I to Elizabeth I. In 1560 Elizabeth sold the estate and the Brownes purchased the old manor lands and the Priest House.

This photo is from an album Elstner Hilton compiled in Japan between 1914 and 1918. Elstner was my spouse's uncle.
While Uncle Elstner was pretty good about annotating the photos that required an explanation of some sort, he did not date the pictures. So all we know is they were taken between January, 1914 and December, 1918.
Priest's cove, Cape Cornwall at sunset, but unfortunatly a layer of cloud came in right at sunset, so there was not much colour in the sky. I like the long exposure effect on the rocks.
