I loved these horses – they were massive & absolutely lifelike. I can’t even think of photographing real horses galloping in full flow over my head.
These horses form the decoration during our festival the Durga Puja & are made of thin plywood.
In Greek mythology, Athena (also called Athene, Attic: Ἀθηνᾶ, AthÄ“nâ or Ἀθηναία, AthÄ“naÃa, Epic: Ἀθηναίη, AthÄ“naÃÄ“, Ionic: Ἀθήνη, AthḗnÄ“, Doric: Ἀθάνα, Athána; Latin: Minerva) is the goddess of wisdom, peace, warfare, strategy, handicrafts and reason, shrewd companion of heroes and the goddess of heroic endeavour.
She is the virgin patron of Athens, which built the Parthenon to worship her.
My tatoo. this is one of 2 tattoos that I have. This was the first one I got a few years ago. I get asked the question a lot, so I'm just gonna tell you: What is it? It is a spiritual symbol that I designed. The idea is: Divinity is neither male nor female, but both at the same time, and within that, and without, the whole of creation exists.
and yes....I was wearing pink.
And I realize that it's difficult to tell in this picture...the tat is on my upper thigh.

Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be loved.

Built in 1826, Divinity Hall is the oldest building at Harvard Divinity School and the first Harvard building to be constructed outside of Harvard Yard.
Divinity Hall originally contained the entire Divinity School; later it was used as a dormitory, then classrooms.
Restored in 2000, Divinity Hall today provides multi-purpose spaces including classrooms, faculty and administrative offices (including admissions, financial aid, student life, and career services), Divinity Chapel (3rd floor), student resources center, and a student lounge.
Street-level room in the Bodleian Library buildings. Here, students used to stand for oral exams; now, it seems to be used to organize tour groups. Lucky us!
Look at that stone ceiling! It's actually the coolest donor recognition wall ever -- all the decoration is either names or symbols of major donors from the 12th century.

I last visited Oxford about 15 years ago so it was definitely time to go back. I lucked out with the weather - it was a gorgeous day in mid-May 2022, actually too bright at first. I tried to check out as many attractions as possible but trying to navigate admission policies was a nightmare - some places required buying tickets a day in advance and others were closed even though they said they were open. One security guard told me "It's Oxford, things are different here". That is true. Next time I'll stay a few days.
I misplaced my notes, so if you know the names of any of the building, feel free to help me. Thanks.

2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
pinch salt
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pecans, chopped
Combine sugar, water, salt, and corn syrup in a 3-quart saucepan; cook over medium heat, without stirring, to hard ball stage (260 degrees F, 125 C). It will be boiling rapidly for about ten minutes to reach this temperature (Time depends on the BTU output of your stove). Remove from heat.
Beat egg whites (at room temperature) in a large mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Pour hot sugar mixture in a very thin stream over egg whites while beating constantly at high speed of an electric mixer. Add vanilla, and continue beating just until mixture begins to hold its shape (3 minutes). Stir in pecans and spread on foil that's been stuck to the counter with a bit of water underneath. Let cool 1 hour and slice into squares with a butter knife. Let sit overnight and transfer to wax paper lined air-tight tins in the morning.

24th Annual Chariot festival of Sri Mayurapathy Paththirakaali temple is held today (6th of August 2011) in Colombo amidst heavy downpour. Five wooden carved chariots parade through the streets of Bambalapitty (Colombo 04), Havelock Town (Colombo 05) and Wellawatte (Colombo 06).
Devotees dressed elegantly and took part in religious rituals such as carrying clay pots of camphor, rolling themselves on the ground, smashing coconuts and hanging on hooks (Kaavadi ~ Men only). Few devotees who fulfill their vows, got into trance and danced on the streets. Devotional songs played throughout the dazzling parade. Traditional and non ~ traditional musical instruments added colour to the festival.
