Leh is the capital of Ladakh which itself is known as the Little Tibet. It is a vast valley with lots of dust and cold air whistling through its wide roads as well as the narrow bazaar lanes.
There is an airport which receives commercial passenger traffic alongside the routine army transfers of men and provisions. Close to the airport is a hillock that holds a monastery at its top.
It is referred to as Kalimata temple by most people and road markers though Spituk is the correct name of the place. It is supposed to have been founded in the 11th century AD and is now managed by the Yellow Hat sect of Buddhism.
It is is a beautiful view point high up and you have to climb steady and slow to reach the place. The haloed threesome here ( the 3rd one does not show up in this frame) stare serenely and content at infinity while you look around.
Note on Photography - This is a hand held shot in the interior of the monastery and has minimal distortion bar the angle of the shot.
There is another version which has been treated as if shot with a fish eye lens. That comes later.

This morning I woke up early, grabbed my camera bag and went to Maastricht, hoping to take advantage of the early (and only) sunny hours of the day. While chasing the sunlight, I found myself walking past the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe Basilica where I spotted two women praying in silence. The light of the candles really caught my eye. I stood in the doorway and snapped the moment with this single shot. I guess that no matter the weather, sometimes the light indoors is pretty much all you need. :)
St Paul's is London's cathedral and embodies the spiritual life and heritage of the British people. Cathedrals serve a wide community. A cathedral houses the seat - or in Latin, cathedra - of the bishop, making it a centre for Christian worship and teaching, and the Christian mission.
St Paul's Cathedral acts as an important meeting place for people and ideas, as a centre for the arts, learning and public debate.
The present St Paul's is the fifth cathedral to have stood on the site since 604, and was built between 1675 and 1710, after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London. This was the first cathedral to be built after the English Reformation in the sixteenth century, when Henry VIII removed the Church of England from the jurisdiction of the Pope and the Crown took control of the Church's life.
Throughout its history, St Paul's has been a place where the individual and the nation can express those feelings of joy, gratitude and sorrow that are so central to our lives.
Among the events marked at St Paul's are royal occasions. In 1897 Queen Victoria chose to commemorate her diamond jubilee here. More recently Queen Elizabeth II has celebrated her jubilees at St Paul's , and also her 80th birthday in 2006. Royal weddings have been held here as well: the marriage of Catherine of Aragon to Prince Arthur in 1501 and famously the wedding of HRH the Prince of Wales to Lady Diana Spencer in 1981.
As the nation's church, St Paul's has also been the site of state funerals of British military leaders, including Admiral Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and of the wartime Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill. Services have also been held to mark the valuable contributions made by ordinary men and women involved in armed conflicts in the Falklands, the Gulf and Northern Ireland.
A vast crowd also gathered at St Paul's following the terrorist attacks on New York on 11 September 2001, as London expressed its solidarity with the people of New York at a time of grief.
People of other faiths have a place in national services at St Paul's. In 2005, at the service of remembrance following the terrorist bombings in London in July of that year, young people representing different faith communities lit candles as a shared sign of hope during turbulent times.
In these symbolic ways London's cathedral seeks to be a house of prayer for people of all nations. It is a place for protest against injustice and for the public express of hope for a better society. Martin Luther King stopped at St Paul's en route to collect his Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. Involvement in the global community and social justice is as much a part of the working life of St Paul's as prayer and ceremony.
This one is the same as the other one that was zone in but this one show bit more of the image and show off the different colours and romance side and wings.
Aquesta sala, ara integrada a la Bodleian Library, és un dels primers edificis expressament construits per a la universitat d'Oxford, entre el 1427-83. Aquí es feien els examens de teologia.
------------------------------
This is the oldest surviving building of the university of Oxford. Here were conducted the theology exams. The examiner sat at one side, and the alumnus at the other. The form of the exam was like a discussion or dialogue.

This doll is aptly named, I will start with that. I love Isha, I'm a bit biased because of my heritage, but it is what it is. However, I don't have every Isha that has ever been made, I didn't even try to get all the Ishas out there. This one, though, I had to. She is a dream.
Love the white outfit for her. It makes her even more ethereal, yet accentuates her sultriness. Her face is flawless and in my opinion, she is the best Isha ever made.
As with all other Sacred Lotus dolls, Isha's accessories are simply amazing as well. Just wish she had a necklace as well, a jewel-studded choker to be exact, in true over-the-top Bollywood style.

Shot taken at St. John's Armenian Church in Southfield, Michigan.
I've gone to school in Southfield for five years and I knew nothing about this building till about two days ago. It's tucked away around Northwestern and 9 Mile Road. All you can really see is a little bit of its roof and cross on top. You would never think something so beautiful could be in Southfield.

Upper Las Virgenes Reserve, San Fernando Valley, CA
Noticed the sun wanting to peek out while on my way an overlook. Kept my eye on it just in case and about 10 minutes later, was fortunate to grab the light just above the tree atop the hill.

Basilica Santa Maria del Fiore
Florence, Italy
In 1864, a competition held to design a new façade was won by Emilio De Fabris (1808–1883) in 1871. Work began in 1876 and was completed in 1887. This neo-gothic façade in white, green and red marble forms a harmonious entity with the cathedral, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery, but some think it is excessively decorated.
I picked this image because it represents freedom. Also like the bold colours because it makes it understand with the blackout angel and tree.
