Detail of the entrance building of St Fagans National Museum of History, Cardiff. Designed by architect Dale Owen of Percy Thomas Partnership and built 1968-74.
At Salem's renowned Peabody Essex Museum, one of the nation's oldest, the city's historic commercial and cultural connections to the wider world, especially those connections to Asia continue to be highlighted, as in "Intersections: Anila Quayyuum Agha", an immersive single room installation inspired by traditional Islamic architectural motifs. Salem, Massachusetts, USA.

The Milky Way aligned with the north east face of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Dolomites) seems flowing into the two rivers of clouds below. Hence the title of this photograph.
Among the many stars, is perfectly recognizable Altair, the biggest and brightest on the left of the Milky Way.
A misty evening, with fog and low clouds allowed me to take some lovely shots during the blue hour, just along the path that leads to the forcella Lavaredo, here portrayed in the picture. Place where I've then mounted my tent (visible in the lower center) for the night.
So, I've got also the priceless opportunity to admire the dawn and sunrise of the next day, both simply magical.

Watching the pace and flow of New York City from above is amazing. The constant stream of yellow taxis lining the avenues, the waves of pedestrians hurriedly crossing with the change of traffic signals, little figures disappearing into and emerging from the subway stations, the chorus of honking horns and sirens. It's all so rhythmic and strangely soothing to watch.

The life bestowed upon man by God
is endless,
unfettered by flesh, time, or space.
Though it is mysterious,
it serves as proof,
proof of God's gift of life.

[...] The phrase "empty" is already a negation of itself, but one can not remain silent. The problem is to inform the silence, without leaving it. For this reason Zen avoids it as much as possible to take refuge in the language, and tries to make us penetrate behind the words that we speak - what is there - dig. Meister Eckhart does unstinting in his sermons.
He selects a few harmless words from the Bible and makes them a "home affairs" show that he experiences in his subconscious mind.
His idea is not in the words themselves, he turns them into instruments of his own intention.
Similarly, works with the Zen master of some things around him, including his own person, any trees, stones, sticks, etc He may then scream, hit or deal kicks. The main thing is it clear what is behind all these actions. In order to show that reality is "empty", he can stand still with hands folded over his chest. If him another question is asked, he might shake the tea plant, or go without a word of it or put the questioner a stick blow.
Sometimes the master of poetic and compares the spirit of the "emptiness" with the moon, it calls the "mind-moon" the moon or the Sun-safety-An old master of the Zen philosophy sings of the moon:
The moon is lonely and complete:
The light engulfs the ten thousand things
nor that the world exists of the things
Light, world, and things are gone,
and what remains - what is it?
The master leaves the question open. Would she answered, the moon would no longer there. Reality splits, and emptiness leads to emptiness.
We should not lose sight of the original moon, the primordial spirit-moon, and the master wants us to reflect on it, because with him we have started.
Emptiness is not empty space, it contains within itself infinite light, and all the diversity of the world, it absorbs it.
The Buddhist philosophy is the philosophy of "emptiness," the philosophy of self-identity. Self-identity is to be distinguished from mere identity.
For a mere identity, there are two objects that are found to be identical to each other, when there self-identity is only one object or subject, a single, and this one finds its identity by coming out of himself.
Self-identity thus includes movement. And we note: self-identity is Spirit, who goes out of itself, to see themselves mirrored in.
Self-identity is the logical substrate of pure knowledge, or of "emptiness".
In the self-identity, there are no contradictions. The Buddhists call it that So-heit. [...]

[…] Die Aussage „leer“ ist bereits eine Verneinung ihrer selbst. Aber man kann nicht stumm bleiben. Das Problem ist, die Stille mitzuteilen, ohne sie zu verlassen. Aus diesem Grunde vermeidet Zen es soviel wie möglich, Zuflucht zur Sprache zu nehmen, und bemüht sich, uns hinter die Worte dringen zu lassen, damit wir gleichsam – was dort ist – auszugraben. Eckhart tut das unentwegt in seinen Predigten.
Er wählt einige harmlose Worte aus der Bibel und lässt sie ein „Inneres“ aufdecken, das er in seiner unbewussten Bewusstsein erfährt.
Sein Gedanke liegt keineswegs in den Worten selbst. Er macht sie zu Instrumenten seiner eigenen Absicht.
Auf ähnliche Weise bedient sich der Zen-Meister irgendwelcher Dinge um ihn herum, einschließlich der eigenen Person, irgendwelcher Bäume, Steine, Stöcke u.s.w. Er mag dann laut schreien, schlagen oder Fusstritte austeilen. Hauptsache es wird klar, was hinter all diesen Handlungen steckt. Um zu zeigen, dass die Wirklichkeit „Leere“ ist, kann er stillstehen mit gefalteten Händen über der Brust. Wenn ihm eine weitere Frage gestellt wird, mag er die Teepflanze schütteln oder wortlos davon gehen oder dem Frager einen Stockhieb versetzen.
Zuweilen ist der Meister poetischer und vergleicht den Geist der „Leere“ mit dem Mond, nennt ihn den „Geist-Mond“ oder den Mond der So-heit- Ein alter Meister der Zen-Philosophie singt von diesem Mond:
Der Mond ist einsam und vollendet:
Das Licht verschlingt die zehntausend Dinge,
noch dass die Welt der Dinge existiert,
Licht, Welt und Dinge sind dahin,
und das was bleibt – was ist´s?
Der Meister lässt die Frage offen. Würde sie beantwortet, wäre der Mond nicht mehr da. Wirklichkeit spaltet sich auf, und Leere mündet in Leere.
Wir sollten die Sicht auf den ursprünglichen Mond nicht verlieren, den uranfänglichen Geist-Mond, und der Meister möchte, dass wir uns auf ihn besinnen, denn bei ihm haben wir begonnen.
Leere ist nicht leerer Raum, in sich enthält sie unbegrenztes Licht, und alle Vielfalt der Welt nimmt sie in sich auf.
Die buddhistische Philosophie ist die Philosophie der „Leere“, die Philosophie der Selbst-Identität. Selbst-Identität ist zu unterscheiden von bloßer Identität.
Bei bloßer Identität gibt es zwei Objekte, die als miteinander identisch festgestellt werden, Bei der Selbst-Identität gibt es nur ein Objekt oder Subjekt, ein einziges, und dieses eine stellt seine Identität fest, indem es aus sich herausgeht.
Selbst-Identität schließt also Bewegung ein. Und wir stellen fest: Selbst-Identität ist Geist, der aus sich heraus geht, um in sich selbst gespiegelt zu sehen.
Selbst-Identität ist das logische Substrat reiner Erkenntnis oder von „Leere“.
In der Selbst-Identität gibt es keinerlei Widersprüche. Die Buddhisten nennen es So-heit. […]

I've been photographing Haystack Rock for years now... I can almost say decades (but not quite). One thing I like about photographing the same subject like this over a span of time is you get to see change. And I don't mean you get to watch how that subject changes, but rather you get to slowly see how your own ability to see changes and evolves. The way I saw Haystack Rock years ago is different than how I see it today. I think back then I saw it as a photogenic element in a photogenic landscape and it was really that simple. But time and practice and repetition (as well as age and experience) have nuanced the way that I look at something seemingly as simple as this rock. I still like making beautiful photos of it but I now do so in different ways, or at least different ways in addition to all those original ways. And that is a big advantage of having a consistent element like this in your images, it makes it easier to see that growth. Anyway, those are my thoughts for tonight. I have some other things I really need to get working on but wanted to pop over here and share this and offer that.
