After going to a meeting in San Francisco I went to the Sutro Bath ruins Park near the Cliff House. Someone drew lines, not to draw a line in the sand, but to express her devotion to a loved one.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and applied a filter to give the scene a classic look from the intense gold in the original image.

In a quiet corner of a Bhutanese temple, an elderly woman turns her prayer beads beside a great golden prayer wheel. The rhythmic motion and murmured mantras reflect a lifelong practice of faith, embodying Bhutan’s living Buddhist tradition. Here, devotion unfolds not as ceremony, but as part of the gentle rhythm of everyday life.

In un angolo silenzioso di un tempio bhutanese, un’anziana donna fa scorrere il suo rosario accanto a una grande ruota dorata della preghiera. Il movimento ritmico e i mantra sussurrati riflettono una pratica di fede coltivata per tutta la vita, incarnando la viva tradizione buddhista del Bhutan. Qui la devozione si manifesta non come cerimonia, ma come parte del ritmo gentile della vita di ogni giorno.

Sometimes not being in control
is the most beautiful thing in the world.
To all wannabe SL-Doms:
Being Dominant does not mean calling her names or barking orders. It means teaching her with gentle heart, a firm hand, Trust, Love, Honesty and understanding she may have submitted to You. But she did so because she trusts You. Not because she felt unsafe.

A serene moment captured at the Sri Dalada Maligawa (Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic) on the edge of Kandy Lake, Sri Lanka. A devotee carries a tray of vibrant purple lotus flowers across the historic stone courtyard, providing a beautiful burst of color against the timeless white architecture of the temple.

One last picture from the "Our Lady of Conception Church" series. Decided to post it separately for I like it particularly.

There are these pictures that are not what they seem to be at first sight.
But maybe they are. Who knows?

In 2009 a statue of a Border Collie dog called Ruswarp (pronounced Russup) was placed on the platform of the refurbished Garsdale Head railway station on the Settle-Carlisle railway line in Cumbria. (It was once in Yorkshire, now in South Lakeland and is also in the Yorkshire Dales National Park).
This commemorative bronze sculpture was funded by public subscription. It was made by sculptor Joel Walker and celebrated the saving of the railway line from closure in 1989. The Friends of the Settle-Carlisle had coordinated that, and their first secretary was Graham Nuttall. He was a keen hillwalker, and his dog Ruswarp signed the petition to save the line with his paw print.
On 20 January 1990, Graham and Ruswarp went missing. He had bought day return tickets from Burnley to Llandrindod Wells to go walking in the Welsh Mountains, but they never returned. A lone walker found Graham's body on 7 April 1990.
The 14-year-old Ruswarp had stayed with Graham for 11 weeks in winter weather; he was so weak that he had to be carried down the mountain. His veterinary fees were paid by the RSPCA, who awarded him their Animal Medallion and Collar for 'vigilance' and Animal Plaque for 'intelligence and courage.'
Ruswarp passed away shortly after Graham Nuttall's funeral.

The long way up inside a temple. A journey towards oneself.

La lunga via verso l'alto all'interno di un tempio. Un viaggio verso se stessi.

In the quiet vastness of Cologne Cathedral, numerous small flames flicker—each one a sign of remembrance, hope, and love. Especially during Advent, many pause to think of those they miss. A light for you.

Ein Licht für Dich
Im stillen Kölner Dom leuchten zahlreiche kleine Flammen – jede ein Zeichen der Erinnerung, der Hoffnung, der Liebe. Gerade in der Adventszeit denken viele an jene, die fehlen. Ein Licht für Dich.
