Ellora Cave 16: the Kailasanatha Temple. 8th century.
Conceptualizing an idea that would take 200 years to complete, take 7500 people to finish, with buy-in from 10 generations of stake holders, detailing it to the T (a house of god cannot have a wrong cut), excavating 400000 tonnes of rock, all of these could only have been possible because of the sheer brilliance, love and devotion of those involved.

Ellora Caves Album:
Devotion young boy delivering the new Torah to the alter in this early 70s shot on film, found in North Carolina.
A moving moment at the Mezquita, as a couple of young tourists used her phone to photograph a lady in front of a shrine. She had a mobility impairment, her walking sticks lying in front of her.
Shot on my birthday, and in near darkness. Very emotional scene ...
It was quite dark and I had a slow film in my camera.
No tripod.
So lens wide open and 1/2 second exposure from hand....
B&W film helped to catch the atmosphere…. :-)
Camera: Nikon F4
Lens: Nikkor 2/35mm D
Film: Fuji Neopan Acros II@200 (so pushed 1 stop)
"And as the plague keeps crawling
They eat the innards of the saints
We failed
Drawn to the pit by the smell of the carcass
Mankind is enticed to oppression
Blind and tied then bred to swallow this ill-fated blasphemous creed
Taste the vile golden crown
Forge anew the curse of life
Sworn to obey your masters calling
Tyranny is the saviour’s will and faith
Bastards who hail the unseen servitude
To fulfill their need to endure
They cast them in gaols, tortured, skinned, maimed and sliced
May their kin be eradicated to delight in everlasting grace
Rabid like dogs, we serve and disgust you
Weaving our self loathe to cling upon our lives
Tyranny - We shall be devoted to centuries of pain
Tyranny - We shall be devoted to slavers of the self
Rabid like dogs, we serve and disgust you
Weaving our self loathe to cling upon our lives
Oh monarch, beseech us to keep upon our necks and feet the gentle chains of higher scorn
Avow the guilt and skin the earth upon which I sacrifice my will and my desire for thee
Fierce is the one who detests his creation
As rot engulfs the ascended
Choice became the mark of the traitors
Hanging down from sacred trees
Spiritual cancer swells
To dissolve our mortal shell
Don’t you see they birthed the culling?
Tyranny is the saviour’s will and faith
Bastards who hail the unseen servitude
To fulfill their need to endure
They cast them in gaols, tortured, skinned, maimed and sliced
May their kin be eradicated to feed the neverending grace of war."
I've been running, trying to be one who sees
I've been working, this salvation out on my knees
There is nothing better than knowing
We are redeemed
I'm believing, trusting in creative hands,
I am praying for our world to bow to your plan
And this one thought is unmistakable
To take up my cross and follow You Lord
When You stand, the tall tress and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees
I'm forgiven by a Savior who did not deserve death
He was blameless and I was lost in shamefulness
Undelivered, but it doesn't seem right
Unless I keep my eyes focues on the Savior who gave His life
In the middle of a world that denies it believes
It is breaking apart at the very seams
There is one thing to be alive for
And it's to take up my cross and follow You Lord
When You stand, the tall trees and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees
I will take up my cross and follow Lord where You lead me
And I will take up my cross and follow wherever you go
When You stand, the tall trees and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans are still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees
Fall to my knees

Here is Gallad, our 11 month-old puppy giving me that look...he loves to be talked to and like most dogs, he pricks up his ears, cocks his head and fixes his eyes on me as if trying to understand what the human is saying...and then he talks back in little yipes and hound howls. I love the look of utter trust in his eyes.

In front of the Jokhang temple, she and her family did a full body prostration.
This is very hard to do,
The actual prostration is performed by dropping the body forward and stretching it full length on the floor, the arms outstretched in front.... Again, with hands in the lotus bud mudra, bend your arms back and touch your hands to the top of your head (forehead touching the ground), a gesture that acknowledges the blessing flowing from Guru Rinpoche. Then stretch your arms out once more and push yourself up.... Bring your hands into the lotus bud mudra for the third time and touch your heart in a gesture of reverence. Then, walk forward in body length, with a smooth motion, bring your hands to your crown and perform the next prostration...........
