This is very iconic Norwegian. (But very far from my everyday life) These are the same kind of horses that the Norwegian vikings used.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is Infinity symbol. At first, I had a very difficult time to find an infinity symbol in my props… but then there was this elastic orange hair band laying on the floor in front of me. And since I’m lazy I wasn’t about to pick it up (especially that my house is a total mess right now because of our renovations) until I noticed that it was a perfect Infinity symbol ! Isn’t that great ? Of course, turning an orange elastic band into a levitating infinity symbol was another problem but I’m pretty much satisfied with the results. And I truly hope it will make you smile !!
Juste for your information: I have lots of things going on in my personal life right now and due to our renovations going super fast my « photo studio » (aka coffee table) and all my props had to take a vacation and all of my stuff is currently in my bathtub (yes, people !! The struggle is real, there is virtually no free space left in my house … event the bathtub is full of stuff !! And yes, we did put a cork in, just in case !!). So I’m will not be able to publish daily anymore (which makes me truly sad since I got truly attached to all your awesome comments, support and this amazing community…). For now, I will be officially on « vacation » from Flickr (but it isn’t by choice …). I will try to publish as soon as possible. Until then : stay well and safe my friends !!
Have a beautiful day !! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
Auspicious Symbols in Buddhism (A Bug Comes insight) - Taken on my deck
Tibetan Buddhists make use of a particular set of EIGHT auspicious symbols, ashtamangala, in household and public art. Some common interpretations are given along with each symbol although different teachers may give different interpretations:
佛門八寶，又稱八吉祥，藏語稱「扎西達傑」( 藏文：བཀྲ་ཤིས་རྟགས་བརྒྱད，威利：bkra shis rtags brgyad，THL：Zhaxi Dag'gyä，是佛教中象徵吉祥的、圓滿、幸福八件法物
From left to right: 3 of 8 shown here (3個8吉祥符號顯示在這裡，從左到右)
*Dhvaja (寶傘，華蓋) - The symbol represents the Buddha's victory over the four māras, or hindrances in the path of enlightenment.
*Endless Knot (盤長，也叫吉祥結) - a symbol of the ultimate unity of everything.
*Treasure Vase (寶瓶) - symbolizes the Buddha's infinite quality of teaching the dharma: no matter how many teachings he shared, the treasure never lessened.

I am so lucky to have two kids that absolutely adore each other. They are also very creative, so I did not even have to ask to make this love symbol for me. I love them dearly.
The Konark Sun Temple. An ancient architecture built in 13th century, was dedicated to God 'Sun'. With twelve pairs of gigantic sundials, ornamented chariots and classical arts, carved over the stone walls, its a cool place to recall Indian history. Also once was known as Black Pagoda to Europeans as the ships passing through near by used to experience destruction of their navigation systems because of humongous magnetic supports of the temple.
Simply its a perfect composition of engineering, astronomy and fine art !!!

Back from my holidays in the wonderful North of France (Pays de la Loire to be precise!).
Being in the middle of nowhere meant I had the opportunity to take some photos of the Perseids and the Milky Way!
I've called the photo 'Heavenly Symbols' because, shooting stars, the Milky Way and (more obviously) the cross can have religious symbolism!
For me it was just a wonderful night under a sea of stars!!
Looking forward to catching up with all your photos over the last 2 weeks!

Helios 44M-7 at F2 plus a 2x teleconverter. I have photographed this wooden figurine before. As an object, its nature is trivial and some might call it kitsch. To me, it has its enigmatic fascination. It popped up right at the beginning, when I met the woman who would become my wife. Difficult to put into words what goes on inside. Associations like 'home', 'protection' and 'intimacy' well up. The totally unsubstantiated feeling, you know, that, 'in the end, everything will be alright'. Symbols work this way, signposts to a world that is (eventually) in order.

The Big Buddha is symbol and landmark of Koh Samui. It is build on a hill out of the peak of a peninsular not far away from the airport. Alle the plans are passing by landing or taking off Samui Island!
This Buddha statue has changed the appearance over the years. This is what it was like when I came here first in the early 80th. The temple Wat Phra Yai areal has expended over the years!
I took this photo in 1986 with my analog Nikon FE camera and 35mm slide film, and now scanned with Nikon Coolscan film scanner.
