Root yourself in this earth

and it will root itself in you.

... langsam hält auch hier der Frühling seinen Einzug und verdrängt die letzten Schneefelder an der Arberseewand .... hier: grosser Arbersee

I am endlessly fascinated by trees.

We are rooted, say the old trees, otherwise we would not be.

Unless moved by humans, trees remain rooted to one place throughout their lifetime.

Finally no rain for an entire day; it'll rain again tomorrow...

Đền Quan Âm or the Shrine of Avalokitesvara is located near the summit of Nui Sam. It's a new colourful construction.

Nameplate of the shrine is written with a Chinese influenced calligraphic style of the Vietnamese alphabet.

There are people in tourist areas in Vietnam, who write your name or whatsoever with this style of alphabet for souvenirs.

The bodhisattva of compassion often has female figures in Vietnam. Not only Avalokitesvara but also other deities tend to be feminised in Vietnam including Buddha. It is supposed to be an influence from the folk beliefs that are deep rooted in the Vietnamese religious traditions.

What a great day to remember--and celebrate--our roots.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

My formerly little town of Canterbury, Connecticut (population1,200 when I grew up there in the 50's and 60's) is filled with homes like these built in the 1700's. I treasure them more than ever given our current politic situation.

My wonderful dog on the grounds of Sawley Abbey.

(Digital shot).

These trees trunks are a favourite of mine to photograph as well on my daily shanks mare (in case you have never heard that term it means walking) travels. I have photographed them several times.

Processed in Lightroom Classic.

I import all my photos in ON1 Photo Raw 2022 and will sometimes use the presets in it but today I decided to process in Lightroom.

I appreciate all the visits to my little space here on Flickr and although I may not get to respond to your comments be assured that I read them and I appreciate them.
