Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!

View of the chancel of the Garnison Church of St Martin in Dresden. It was built between 1893 and 1900 and was once a military town for the Saxon army. Originally there were two separate church rooms, divided into a Roman Catholic and a Protestant part. Today, however, only the Roman Catholic part is used for religious purposes.
On my last visit to the church, I was impressed by the incidence of light in the chancel, and I am happy to share this photo with you.
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF YOU !
"Enlightenment is like everyday consciousness but two inches above the ground."
Quote - D.T. Suzuki
In the surroundings walls of the D.T. Suzuki Museum (鈴木大拙館, Suzuki Daisetsu Kan), Kanazawa, Japan, there are a few gaps, like this one, where you still can see the Water Mirror Garden.
The nicely shaped fountain (I think…..) stands in the small Roji Garden of the museum.
All around, baby, you can see
You're making your own reality everyday because
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
(Van Morrison - Enlightenment)
Being in Mid Winter my crepe myrtles have dropped all of their leaves The other day I noticed the sun shining on this web which was encasing the tip of this branch and was struck with how pretty it looked. I went inside a grabbed my camera, focused on the dead leaves and was surprised at how much bokeh I retained even at f/11.
Buddha once said, all pain and suffering is due to our attachment to this world.
I say, be like the beautiful Lotus that rises above the murk of the filthy waters of this world - detached but not of this world.
An endless pursuit to enlightenment, we are a constant work in progress

A lonely Cyclamen flower, surrounded by wet green grass, welcomes the splendid sun rays through the woods canopy. Another day in Earth paradise...
Deep in the forest, there is a astonishing light...
... so I stand with joy & gratitude before you and can say heaven is a place on earth.
When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
—Chief Tecumseh
What a wonderful world, full of beauty and grace

"It's impossible to imagine the Swiss mountain world as more idyllic than the area surrounding Lake Bachalpsee. The snow-covered peaks of the Alps are reflected in the crystal clear blue water.
First is the starting point for hikes and it offers action: An adrenaline rush and speed thrills are guaranteed on the First Flyer, trottibike scooters or bikes. Children can have fun on the 700-m² playground at the Bort intermediate station."
Trois étapes vous seront nécessaires pour débarquer en toute tranquillité dans cet écrin de nature montagnarde paradisiaque. A 2200 mètres d'altitude, le First offre des panoramas étourdissants, notamment une vue imprenable sur sept 4000 des Alpes bernoises.
En une petite heure de marche à travers pâturages et chemins pédestres bucoliques, vous atteignez le superbe lac Bachalpsee et ses eaux cristallines. De tous les côtés, des points de vue pittoresques. Inoubliable ascension. Pour un peu de culture, passez donc la nuit au Berghotel Faulhorn, le plus ancien hôtel de montagne de Suisse!
Der First ist eine Verflachung des Südwest-Rückens zum Widderfeldgrätli (2'632 m ü. M.) im Berner Oberland nördlich oberhalb von Grindelwald. Er ist über eine Gondelbahn oder zu Fuss erreichbar. Die obere Bergstation heisst ebenfalls First (2'167 m ü. M.) und steht den Besuchern im Winter und im Sommer mit einem gut ausgebauten Ski- und Wandergebiet zur Verfügung.
Besonders beliebt ist die Wanderung zum Bachalpsee und weiter zum Faulhorn, die ein spektakuläres Panorama mit Blick auf den oberen Grindelwaldgletscher sowie Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau bietet. Eine weitere interessante Wanderung führt auf das Schwarzhorn. Östlich von First liegt 5,6 Kilometer zu Fuss entfernt die Grosse Scheidegg.
Der First ist ein Startort für Paraglider und Deltasegler sowie Ausgangspunkt für zahlreiche Mountainbiketouren. Station First bietet auch einen imposanten kurvenreichen Schlittenweg, welcher bei guten Schneeverhältnissen direkt nach Grindelwald führt.
Le Finsteraarhorn est le point culminant du massif des Alpes bernoises à 4 274 mètres d'altitude, sur la frontière entre les cantons du Valais et de Berne en Suisse. Le sommet constitue un point de repère particulièrement visible à cause de sa pointe et de sa face abrupte.
Du point de vue géologique, il appartient au massif de l'Aar et est constitué d'amphibolite.
The Finsteraarhorn (4,274 m (14,022 ft)) is the highest mountain in the Bernese Alps and the highest mountain in the canton of Berne. It is also the highest summit in the Alps lying outside the main chain, or watershed. The Finsteraarhorn is the ninth highest and third most prominent peak in the Alps. Since 2001 the whole massif and surrounding glaciers are part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch World Heritage Site.
Das Finsteraarhorn ist mit 4'274 m ü. M. der höchste Gipfel der Berner Alpen, des Kantons Bern und überhaupt der Schweiz östlich von Lötschberg und Simplon, zudem ist es höchster Punkt im Einzugsgebiet des Rheins. Sein markanter Gipfel dominiert die Panoramen der gesamten Zentral- und Ostschweiz. Es liegt an der Grenze der Kantone Bern und Wallis.
Das Finsteraarhorn hat eine zugeschärfte, haifischflossenartige Form und erscheint in Streichrichtung der Grate von NW oder SO als steiles Horn. Quer dazu erscheint es als breit hingelagertes Dreieck.
Geologisch gehört es zum Aarmassiv und besteht aus Amphibolit. Geomorphologisch ist seine Berggestalt als Karling charakterisiert.
Der Normalanstieg erfolgt - ausgehend vom Grimselpass - von der Finsteraarhornhütte über die SW-Seite bis zum ersten Absatz des NW-Grats (sog. Hugisattel auf 4'088 m), und von dort über den Grat (zunächst in den Felsen oder im Schnee der SW-Flanke) zum Gipfel (WS I-II).
Der markante Gipfel wurde am 16. August 1812 von Arnold Abbühl, Joseph Bortis und Alois Volken zum ersten Mal bestiegen, den Gipfel erreichten sie vermutlich über den heute zum grossen Teil abgeschmolzenen Hängegletscher in der Ostflanke des Südostgrats. Allerdings ist nicht klar, ob die drei tatsächlich den Hauptgipfel erreichten. Erwiesen ist hingegen die Bezwingung des Gipfels am 10. August 1829 durch Jakob Leuthold und Johann Währen über den heutigen Normalweg. Diese waren die Bergführer des Gletscherforschers Franz Joseph Hugi, der selbst wegen einer Fussverletzung in einer Einsattelung, die heute seinen Namen trägt, zurückbleiben musste.

The dazzling sun shines, illuminating the old chapel on a hill strewn with rocks. We can only get here by walking on an uphill path, since there is no carriage road. The stunning view compensates us, while the surrounding landscape radiates an incomparable sense of calm.

"Ignoramus et ignorabimus" (e.h. du Bois-reymond). In the short term, it may be due to the bounded rationality that this statement applies. But in the medium term to long term, I think, as a friend of the Enlightenment ("Sapere Aude"! - Dare to Be Wise! "(I. Kant)) and science, that many things can be rational and scientifically explained. For the unclear things, it needs still some time until they can be scientifically explained in the future.
This picture is part of an exhibition that I have been working on for the past months, I have done 8 pictures of Lighthouses that are Exhibited at FOCUS Gallery.

Enlightenment:
Insightful and open-minded. You are able to see the world with great clarity, without attachment to preconceived ideas about people, places, and things. This enables you to observe the world without jumping to conclusions.
