Nepali name: Kumbhkaran Lungur is part of the Great Himalaya Range.
Elevation: 8,586 m (28,169 ft) - third highest mountain peak in the world lies partly in Nepal and partly in the Indian state of Sikkim. The Kanchenjunga massif is in the form of a gigantic cross, the arms of which extend north, south, east, and west.
The name Kanchenjunga is derived from four words of Tibetan origin, usually rendered Kang-chen-dzo-nga or Yang-chhen-dzö-nga and interpreted in Sikkim as the “Five Treasuries of the Great Snow.” The mountain holds an important place in the mythology and religious ritual of the local inhabitants, and its slopes were no doubt familiar to herdsmen and traders for centuries before a rough survey of it was made.
In 1955 a British expedition led by Charles Evans, under the auspices of the Royal Geographical Society and the Alpine Club (London), stopped within a few yards of the actual summit in deference to the religious beliefs and wishes of the Sikkimese. This is reported to be the first successful attempt to the summit.

I was very grateful that my trips to the US for work let me reconnect with my old university friend Andy, seen here at Ritual Coffee in San Francisco. He also pulls the same incredulous face each time I try to take his picture, hence the pun title.
This was another shot from the first time I'd really used a wide angled lens, but it was enough to convince me I needed to get one. Just wish I'd straightened the table first - but it reminds me of fun trips with Andy, so I still like this shot.

One of the important rituals when visiting a shrine in Japan takes place at the water purification fountain, known as the chozuya or temizuya next to the entrance.
Worshippers use ladles called hishaku to scoop up water to wash their hands and sometimes their mouths.
Due to the pandemic, many ladles have been removed from shrines and temples as a safety precaution.
Some people feared the custom was in danger of dying out.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

Inspired by Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” and the Salem witch trials.
There’s a story behind this, but I’m not much of a writer. I’ll leave it up to you guys to interpret the image.
I’m actually quite proud of this. This was a completely last minute shoot. I didn’t expect anything good to come out of it, but I’m pleasantly surprised at what did. I’d never done a duplicate or clone image before, so I drew inspiration from David’s work and Nikki’s twin 365.
Oh, and I’m starting a 52 weeks project. I’m way too lazy for a 365, so I thought a 52 weeks project would fit my schedule and attitude well. I’m excited. Now off to work. :)
Taken at quite a distance but these Red-Breatsed Mergansers put on quite a show. Unfortunately as mentioned it was far off shore.
Grin receiving loving support as he is beginning to be suspended by Fakir Musafar . The ritual took place on Dragon Ridge in Northern California.
To Hindus, Varanasi is known simply as Kashi, City of Divine Light. One of the holiest of the religion’s seven sacred cities and as old as Babylon, it is at the core of Hindu faith, culture, and studies. Every day here begins and ends on the Ganges with a prayer ritual call puja.
This is another shot from my Saturday night prowl around the Dunira Estate in Perthshire. This overgrown & neglected yew-lined avenue leads to the family burial plot of the Dundas* family who once owned the estate. It sits in a forgotten corner. I found it surprisingly creepy! I'm not used to that.
All I did here is prop my torch on the iron gate into the burial ground pointing back up the avenue (at the camera) to backlight it and then I stood there and spun my LED lights in a circle. I was gearing up to spinning an orb & did do one later but I kinda like this one better.
For me yew trees are all about symbolism: death, immortality, renewal, regeneration, everlasting life, rebirth, transformation and a link to our ancestors and the dead. They are found in churchyards- or churchyards are found by yew-trees(many predate the buildings by them).
[*This is the same Dundas family whose most famous son was Henry Dundas, aka Viscount Melville who bought the estate in the early 1700s and who has a Nelson's Column type statue in St Andrew's Square in Edinburgh. The small burial plot contains 3 brothers all killed in WW1 (one on the Western Front, one in the East African campaign and one in a hospital bed in India from wounds recieved). There is also a gravestone to a 2yr old girl who died onboard a ship travelling to Australia. Life was cheap in those days... ]
