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.

Old School of Divinity, Cambridge, 8 Oct 2015
This is WORK IN PROGRESS.
At least it is better than Street View.

This was shot with a Sigma 10-20 and the verticals sorted in Lightroom, leaving just a touch of convergence.
Had planned to come back later when the sun had moved round a bit, but it clouded over.
It would be nice to get the whole of the front of the School of Divinity. It gets the sun mid afternoon, but this is the time of day for maximum clutter - table and chairs now encroaching from café to left. Maybe wait until depths of winter when too cold to put tables out. I can live with bikes and street furniture.
Then I may try a pano of several shots ...
Dog Rocks, Batesford
An amazing place, was lucky that there was noone else there as i'd heard that it is quite a popular area for the local photographers. Went on a ridiculously windy day, which knocked my tripod over with the camera attached - lucky nothing broke, but I learnt my lesson to hang heavier stuff off it. Was bloody freezing out there too... thermometer on my car read 5 degrees celcius...
This is the Kuan Yin Temple (观音亭) located at Banting, Selangor of Malaysia. It was a cloudy evening and right before it rains I captured these shots with an under-exposed and customized picture profile, I am glad they bring out some gloomy and spooky mood.
In every breath, a universe unfolds,
Each atom a testament, ancient and bold.
In rivers that flow, in mountains that rise,
The divine essence, a silent guise.
From the flutter of wings to the stars' dance above,
All intertwined in a tapestry of love.

Vajrasattva is the priest of the 5 Transcendental Buddhas. His practice is one of purification through the realization that in your true nature, you were never impure. He is visualized in the foundation meditation practices of Tantra, with the aim of generating Bodhichitta, the cosmic will to enlightenment. He is represented in two forms, single and yabyum. He is usually white in color and sits crossed legged with a dorje (vajra) in his right hand with palm upward against his chest and a bell in his left resting on the left thigh.

The Cathedral of Santa María de Girona is accessed by a splendid Baroque staircase from the 17th century.
The set of stairs, the façade of the cathedral and the surrounding buildings make up one of the most unique Baroque urban spaces in Europe.
Scales:
The fascination with the stairs is evident, not in vain, they have a strong presence in all artistic manifestations such as painting, sculpture, cinema, photography, etc.
The staircases are one of the oldest architectural elements and beyond their indispensable function of uniting two levels or plants often appear to be associated with symbolic meanings as a path to divinity representing, for example, Mayan or Aztec step pyramids.
- Symbol:
Symbolically, they are elements that allow us to ascend to other spiritual levels of wisdom or social status, and although they are of dual direction, the climb is the positive aspect while lowering, descending, is perceived as negative.
In a spiritual sense, the stairs unite the earth and the sky, even the underworld with the divinity.
On a more earthly plane, the stairs represent the path difficulties in the integral elevation of the person to whom the elevation is allowed gradually and progressively in the search for personal surpass.
- Architecture:
Monumental staircases and honor staircases have been built throughout history in noble buildings. They are part of the Mesopotamian zigurats, the palaces of Persepolis or Knossos, or the propylaeus in Greece, etc.
The stands of the theatres and amphitheaters are stepped.
In the Middle Ages, snail staircases in round towers were common, lasting to the Renaissance as an essential ornamental garment in civil buildings, although predominance in this period was the broad scale and monumental conception.
Mannerism, with its rejection of balance and harmony, and the Baroque, with its taste for extravagance and sumptuousness by using optical effects, make them unique pieces and spaces.

TÍTOL: 90 ESGLAONS, 1 CATEDRAL I 3 INSPIRACIONS
A la catedral de Santa María de Girona s'accedeix per una esplèndida escalinata barroca del segle XVII.
El conjunt format per les escales, la façana de la catedral i els edificis que l'envolten conformen un dels espais urbans barrocs més singulars d'Europa.
Escales:
La fascinació per les escales és evident, no en va, tenen una forta presència en totes les manifestacions artístiques, pintura, escultura, cinema, fotografia, etc.
Les escales són un dels elements arquitectònics més antics i més enllà de la seva funció indispensable per unir dos nivells o plantes sovint apareixen associades a significats simbòlics com a camí cap a la divinitat que representen, per exemple, les piràmides escalonades maies o asteques.
-Simbologia:
Simbòlicament, són elements que ens permeten ascendir a altres nivells espirituals, de saviesa, o estatus socials i tot i que són de doble direcció l'ascensió és l'aspecte positiu mentre que baixar-les, descendir, es percep com a negatiu.
En un sentit espiritual, les escales uneixen la terra i el cel, fins i tot l'inframon amb la divinitat.
En un pla més terrenal, les escales representen les dificultats del camí en l'elevació integral de la persona a la qual permet l'elevació de forma gradual i progressiva en la cerca de la superació personal.
-Arquitectura:
Al llarg de la història s'han construït escales monumentals i escalinates d'honor en edificis nobles. Formen part dels zigurats mesopotàmics, dels palaus de Persèpolis o Cnossos, o dels propileus a Grècia, etc.
Les graderies dels teatres i amfiteatres són esglaonades.
A l'edat mitjana eren habituals les escales de caragol en torres rodones, van perdurar al Renaixement com a peça ornamental essencial en edificis civils, tot i que el predomini en aquest període va ser l'escala ampla i de concepció monumental.
El Manierisme, amb el seu rebuig de l'equilibri i l'harmonia i el Barroc, amb el seu gust per l'extravagància i sumptuositat mitjançant la utilització d'efectes òptics, les converteixen en peces i espais singulars.

"The progress of faith in those who are being created anew is as follows. Initially such people are without any life, as no life exists in evil or falsity, only in goodness and truth. Afterward they receive life from the Lord through faith. The first form of faith to bring life is a memorized thing - a matter of fact. The next is faith in the intellect - faith truly understood. The last is faith in the heart, which is faith born of love, or saving faith."
