These prayer bells from a buddhist monastary in Sikkim (Small village far from Gangtok)
Found this picture in old archive when I used to have a Analog SLR from Minolta. Some of those pics were converted Digital and could not resist posting it. Those were the Analog days when each shot was precious and room for hit & trial was limited, unlike now.
Deep within the Prayer Hall of the Great Mosque for late afternoon prayer during the month of Ramadan. Non-Muslims were not allowed inside.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti:
Loud Prayer
Our father whose art's in heaven
hollow be thy name
unless things change
Thy wigdom come and gone
thy will will be undone
on earth as it isn't heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
at least three times a day
and forgive us our trespasses
as we would forgive those lovelies
whom we wish would trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
too often on weekdays
but deliver us from evil
whose presence remains unexplained
in thy kingdom of power and glory
oh man
Another one from the Monkey Temple in Kathmandu. Not an easy one this. Used my 2 stop ND and the black half of my 2 stop grad to make a 4 stop ND filter then shot this handheld at an FF equivalent focal length of 67mm! Thankfully the IS did its job.
is this horrible cheesy. I think if I carve it in an interesting way I can make it work. It is part of my series of sensual, beautiful women.

Prayer flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers, and mantras. Tibetan Buddhists for centuries have planted these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry the beneficent vibrations across the countryside. Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the vicinity. The five colors represent the elements: yellow – earth, green – water, red – fire, white – cloud, blue – sky.
One of the highlights of walking the Kathmandu Valley Rim Trek in Nepal is an overnight stay at the sacred Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery at Namo Buddha.
There are prayers flags everywhere, fluttering their messages of peace, strength, compassion, and wisdom on the wind to inspire all people.

This was taken in the mid-90's, but thought I would use it for a post on what to pray to find a future spouse.

dear friends!! today, i offer this prayer for the rivers and creeks of ohio: may our state senators realize that drilling in our state parks and allowing hydraulic fracturing for natural gas thousands of feet below the surface are too dangerous; may they protect the land and waters of our state, and the health of our people. (i am worried because the ohio house of representatives passed a bill last week that would allow these dangerous practices ~ and i love our rivers and creeks so deeply).
you can learn more in this word document
everyone in the u.s. concerned about hydrolic fracturing as a drilling method for natural gas can learn more and find out how to contact your national decisionmakers here.
and just today, some promising news from new york...
may all beings (including those who depend on fresh water) be happy~
may all beings be healthy~
may all beings be safe~
may all beings be free~
love to you, dear friends!!
