These sticks were also at the Fushimi Inari Taisha. I think they too have prayers written on them but I am not 100% sure.

While I did not get the opportunity to shoot the larches in fall, I did have the opportunity to travel to Iceland and capture its breathtaking natural scenery. Driving around its vast windswept plains with nothing to provide a sense of scale, it becomes easy to misjudge the size of mountains or the distance to a particular place. In addition, the lack of a focal point in the composition becomes a serious hindrance to capture a captivating image.
Thankfully, Iceland has plenty of churches dotted around the island, with many situated outside of the villages and communities they serve. Like this one in the Snaefelsnes peninsula in western Iceland. See this large in my 2025 calendar, available for purchase here: www.lulu.com/shop/sathish-jothikumar/2025-photography-cal...

Boudhanath Stupa (Kathmandu, Nepal) is home to one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world, built during the 5th century AD.
For centuries, Boudhanath has been an important place of pilgrimage and meditation for Tibetan Buddhists & local Nepalis. It is located on what was a major trade route between Nepal & Tibet. Many traveling merchants used it as a resting place. It is also a popular tourist site. In 1979, Boudha became a UNESCO World Heritage Site
Along the trail up the mountain at the Fushimi Inari Shrine were some smaller shrines. Here two people are offering prayers. I haven't been able to find out if these are Shinto priests or not, but their dress suggests a special role.
Inari is the Japanese kami of foxes, of fertility, rice, tea and Sake, of agriculture and industry, of general prosperity and worldly success, and one of the principal kami of Shinto.

When through the old oak forest I am gone,
Let me not wander in a barren dream,
But when I am consumed in the fire,
Give me new Phoenix wings to fly at my desire.

Ishmaelites Prayers - Tribute by Daniel Arrhakis (2023)
At least two people have died after a man wielding a knife attacked attendees at an Islamic religious centre in Lisbon. A third victim, reportedly an employee of the Ismaeli Centre, required treatment in hospital after being stabbed in the neck.
My deepest feelings and prayers for the victims of this barbaric attack to the Ishmaelite Centre in Lisbon, Portugal.
More than ever, the World needs Peace, Tolerance and Sharing in a new dawn that brings Light back to the darkness that has settled in our times...

Meus mais profundos sentimentos e orações pelas vítimas deste bárbaro ataque ao Centro Ismaeli em Lisboa, Portugal.
Mais do que nunca, o Mundo precisa de Paz, Tolerância e Partilha num novo amanhecer que traga Luz de volta à escuridão que se instalou nos nossos tempos...

La Piedad, sculpted by William Ordway Partridge, is three times larger than the Pieta by Michelangelo. The Stations of the Cross won a prize in 1893, at the Universal Exhibition of Chicago. Commemorated the visit to the city in 1979, the bust of Pope John Paul II is in the back of the Cathedral.

Hard to believe we were just there 5 weeks ago and they are facing one of the worst hurricanes ever. Some locals on St Maarten were talking about hurricane season. My thoughts and prayers are with all those in her path.
Walking down the street in Galway today I heard someone singing a hymn. It was not your usual Christmas carol, which you might expect at this time of the year, but one more generally associated with May Day: “Flowers of the Rarest, Queen of the May” made popular many years ago by the great Scottish tenor, Father Sidney MacEwan.
It has always been a particular favourite of mine and I turned to see who was singing it. I discover it was this young man. He was kneeling on the street outside a premises called Erotic Sensual Pleasure. There are examples of their merchandise in the window. When he finished singing he said a few prayers, blessed himself, opened the door and said something to those inside and then departed!
I did not have the capability to record the song he was singing, but in all honesty his rendition was not quite up to the standard of the original: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gv0S3M-mR8&feature=related

I shot it at the festival of CHHATH.
Chhath Puja is a very joyous and colorful festival. Chhath Puja is the holiest Hindu festival of people in northern India. Mostly the Chhath Puja is being observed in Bihar and Jharkhand(INDIA) and the festival comprises rituals for four days. The Chhath Puja begins a week after Diwali. The word Chat denotes the number six in Hindi. The Chhath Puja begins on the sixth day of the Kartik, a holy month as per Hindu calendar. Some people spell Chath Puja as Chat Puja, Chatt Puja, Chhath festival, etc
Chhath Puja is dedicated to worship the Sun God. The Chhath Puja is known as ‘SuryaShashti’. People observe Chhath Puja to thank the Sun for bestowing the bounties of life on earth, as also for fulfilling particular wishes. People believe that by observing the Chhath Puja they can fulfill their desires. The Chhath Puja has been observed since long time in India. On Chhath Puja day, all the people dress up in their best and new clothes are a must. Folk songs are sung both at home and on the riverbank. Millions of people take dip in the holy water of river Ganges, and other rivers.

This is the view from the bottom of Snoqualmie Falls taken from the boardwalk which is as close as Puget Sound Energy will allow you to get.
This place is sacred to the Snoqualmie People who used it as a burial site and believed that the mists created by the 268 foot drop brought prayers to the Creator and connect Heaven and Earth.
Today most of the water runs through a power plant except during the early thaw when the falls become a curtain and triple in width of what I got here.
I've been on overtime for the past week and into the foreseeable future which cuts into my Flickr time so I'm generally a day late, sorry, I will keep up just might be a little slow. :-)
I couldn't decide which version I liked best so I have posted both. Black and white version here: Urban Prayer.
This week's FlickrFriday was tricolor, all I had to do was look up from my current spot to see what I wanted to do. A simple image this week, but I think it worked out ok.
This image was taken in RAW and processed on Linux using RawTherapy.

Prayers For Myanmar 2023 Tribute by Daniel Arrhakis (2023)
မြန်မာနိုင်ငံအတွက် ဆုတောင်းများ
My prayers and tribute to all the victims and their families of the Military Coup in Myanmar that continues to claim innocent victims through barbaric attacks on a defenseless population!
A military junta's attack on the Pa Zi Gyi in northern Myanmar killed 186 villagers, of which 40 were under 18, according to the National Unity Government of Myanmar (NUG). CNN's Anna Coren spoke to surviving villagers recounting the horror they experienced.

It is time for the international community to unite to denounce the barbarism that the people of Myanmar have suffered since the coup d'état in Myanmar that began on the morning of 1 February 2021, when democratically elected members of the country's ruling party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), were deposed by the Tatmadaw—Myanmar's military—which then vested power in a military junta and power had been transferred to Commander-in-Chief of Defense Services Min Aung Hlaing.
The President of Myanmar Win Myint and State Counsellor of Myanmar San Suu Kyi were deposed and detained since then.
