I was on a photo walk on Michigan Avenue in Chicago when I saw this living statue woman. I parked myself off to the side and waited, figuring I'd get some interesting reaction shots. This was one that I grabbed.
UPDATE: After some investigation, I found her Facebook page. Her name is Diana Westwood and I would encourage everyone to check her out…and “like” her. Her page can be found here:

She’s really quite good.

Second prototype archery sight developed by Rein-o-King Industries under the company name TAS or Tactical Archery Systems. This is a revolutionary bow sight that uses reflex technology to project the pins onto a lens and by doing so gives the user point of impact tracking which will give the shooter instant feedback to weather he/she is having any bow torque or changes in anchor point. This sight can also eliminate the need for a peep sight or alows the shooter to look around the peep if there is any peep turn during full draw. Look for this sight to be on the market by next archery season.

After visiting Pura Ulun Danu Bratan in the early morning we turned the itinerary over to our driver. He was born and raised in this area. Being first timers to Bali we asked him to show us some of the best sites/sights that were not too crowded.
After sweating in the rice fields, our driver showed us a photo of Pura Tanah Lot and asked if we wanted to see it. It was a fairly long haul but it was a nice day to travel. Sounded good to us and we were off. Tanah Lot is reputed to be one of the most photographed temples on the island. Judging by the crowd size we knew it was one of the most visited. Despite the crowds we enjoyed this stop and my wife liked the shopping after checking out the sights.

She was in a pretty good position with the fenced walkway. Kids were lined up with their photographers (parents) to the right, go left when done, and there was a good spot for people like me who just wanted to take random photos.
While it was truly a treat to photograph this lovely bird in the wild, it was shockingly sad to discover in photoshop that its foot was completely entangled in carelessly discarded fishing line...
Inspecting some other images it seems like the foot is starting to "go bad."
Such a sad, sad sight.
This awful sight greeted me this morning just before I left for work.
I had seen this fox a couple of weeks ago and was horrified then.
Today it looked even worse, and spent many minutes sitting, biting at itself, scratching and then getting water from the edge of the pond.
Its eyes are affected, it has open sores on its left flank and I haven't a clue if there's anything I can do or even should do about it.
In a way I felt taking a photo was almost macabre, but I wanted a record in case I see it again, and can tell if it's deteriorating. It was still quite early and gloomy so the image isn't all that good but I'll be able to see any change in the fox.
I can't see how it could get better and actually hope, for its own sake, that it doesn't last much longer.

Swayambhunath (Devanagari: स्वयम्भूनाथ स्तुप; Newar: स्वयंभू; sometimes romanized Swoyambhunath) is an ancient religious architecture atop a hill in the Kathmandu Valley, west of Kathmandu city. It is also known as the Monkey Temple as there are holy monkeys living in the north-west parts of the temple. The Tibetan name for the site means 'Sublime Trees' (Wylie:Phags.pa Shing.kun), for the many varieties of trees found on the hill. However, Shing.kun may be a corruption of the local Nepal Bhasa name for the complex, Singgu, meaning 'self-sprung'. For the Buddhist Newars in whose mythological history and origin myth as well as day-to-day religious practice, Swayambhunath occupies a central position, it is probably the most sacred among Buddhist pilgrimage sites. For Tibetans and followers of Tibetan Buddhism, it is second only to Boudhanath.
The Swayambhunath complex consists of a stupa, a variety of shrines and temples, some dating back to the Licchavi period. A Tibetan monastery, museum and library are more recent additions. The stupa has Buddha's eyes and eyebrows painted on. Between them, the number one (in Devanagari script) is painted in the fashion of a nose. There are also shops, restaurants and hostels. The site has two access points: a long stairway with 365 steps, leading directly to the main platform of the temple, which is from the top of the hill to the east; and a car road around the hill from the south leading to the southwest entrance. The first sight on reaching the top of the stairway is the Vajra. Tsultrim Allione describes the experience:
We were breathless and sweating as we stumbled up the last steep steps and practically fell upon the biggest vajra (thunder-bolt scepter) that I have ever seen. Behind this vajra was the vast, round, white dome of the stupa, like a full solid skirt, at the top of which were two giant Buddha eyes wisely looking out over the peaceful valley which was just beginning to come alive.
Much of Swayambhunath's iconography comes from the Vajrayana tradition of Newar Buddhism. However, the complex is also an important site for Buddhists of many schools, and is also revered by Hindus.
MYTHOLOGY
According to Swayambhu Purana, the entire valley was once filled with an enormous lake, out of which grew a lotus. The valley came to be known as Swayambhu, meaning "Self-Created." The name comes from an eternal self-existent flame (svyaṃbhu) over which a sūpa was later built.
Swayambhunath is also known as the Monkey Temple as there are holy monkeys living in the north-west parts of the temple. They are holy because Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom and learning was raising the hill which the Swayambhunath Temple stands on. He was supposed to leave his hair short but he made it grow long and head lice grew. It is said that the head lice transformed into these monkeys.
Manjusri had a vision of the lotus at Swayambhu and traveled there to worship it. Seeing that the valley can be good settlement and to make the site more accessible to human pilgrims, he cut a gorge at Chovar. The water drained out of the lake, leaving the valley in which Kathmandu now lies. The lotus was transformed into a hill and the flower became the Swayambhunath stupa.
HISTORY
Swayambhunath, is among the oldest religious sites in Nepal. According to the Gopālarājavaṃśāvalī Swayambhunath was founded by the great-grandfather of King Mānadeva (464-505 CE), King Vṛsadeva, about the beginning of the 5th century CE. This seems to be confirmed by a damaged stone inscription found at the site, which indicates that King Mānadeva ordered work done in 640 CE.
However, Emperor Ashoka is said to have visited the site in the third century BCE and built a temple on the hill which was later destroyed.
Although the site is considered Buddhist, the place is revered by both Buddhists and Hindus. Numerous Hindu monarch followers are known to have paid their homage to the temple, including Pratap Malla, the powerful king of Kathmandu, who is responsible for the construction of the eastern stairway in the 17th century.
The stupa was completely renovated in May 2010, its first major renovation since 1921 and its 15th in the nearly 1,500 years since it was built. The dome was re-gilded using 20 kg of gold. The renovation was funded by the Tibetan Nyingma Meditation Center of California, and began in June 2008.
The temple complex suffered damage in the 2015 Nepal earthquake.
ARCHITECTURE
The stupa consists of a dome at the base, above which is a cubical structure painted with eyes of Buddha looking in all four directions. There are pentagonal Toran present above each of the four sides with statues engraved in them. Behind and above the torana there are thirteen tiers. Above all the tiers there is a small space above which the Gajur is present. The stupa has many artifacts inside it.
SYMBOLISM
The dome at the base represents the entire world. When a person awakes (represented by eyes of wisdom and compassion) from the bonds of the world, the person reaches the state of enlightenment. The thirteen pinnacles on the top symbolize that sentient beings have to go through the thirteen stages of spiritual realizations to reach enlightenment or Buddhahood.
There is a large pair of eyes on each of the four sides of the main stupa which represent Wisdom and Compassion. Above each pair of eyes is another eye, the third eye. It is said that when Buddha preaches, cosmic rays emanate from the third eye which act as messages to heavenly beings, so that those interested can come down to earth to listen to the Buddha. The hellish beings and beings below the human realm cannot come to earth to listen to the Buddha's teaching, however, the cosmic rays relieve their suffering when Buddha preaches.
There are carvings of the Panch Buddhas (five Buddhas) on each of the four sides of stupa. There are also statues of the Buddhas at the base of the stupas. Panch Buddhas are Buddha in metaphorical sense in Tantrayana. They are Vairochana (occupies the center and is the master of the temple), Akshobhya (faces the east and represents the cosmic element of consciousness), Ratna Sambhava (faces the south and represents the cosmic element of sensation), Amitabha (He represents cosmic element of Sanjna (name) and always faces the West) and Amoghsiddhi (He represents the cosmic element of conformation and faces the north).
Each morning before dawn hundreds of Buddhist (Vajrayana) and Hindu pilgrims ascend the 365 steps from eastern side that lead up the hill, passing the gilded Vajra (Tibetan: Dorje) and two lions guarding the entrance, and begin a series of clockwise circumambulations of the stupa.
SWAYAMBHU PURANA
Swayambhu Purana (Devnagari: स्वयम्भू पूराण) is a Buddhist scripture about the origin and development of Kathmandu valley. Swayambhu Purana gives detail of all the Buddhas who came to Kathmandu. It also provides information about the first and the second Buddhas in Buddhism.
