The real spiritual progress of the aspirant is measured by the extent to which he achieves inner tranquility.

A few hundred feet from my house is this beautiful lake. I sit there contemplatively or meditatively and watch the ducks...just feeling the wonderful soothing qualities of the water and the environment. This shot wasn't cropped. My camera, which apparently has a mind of its own, was set on wide.
Under the fierce of the sunlight an old cat just have to take a rest to save its energy to continue the life. Then i could see all the peacefulness of this little dirty cat from her face.. free from any problem, free from any badness, free of feeling guilty cause of any mistake that it has done. She just slept tight beside the wall of dream...

Please no group invites; I prefer reading your thoughts. Thanks.
"When I first caught sight of Mt. Shasta, over the braided folds of the Sacramento Valley, I was fifty miles away and afoot, alone and weary. Yet all my blood turned to wine, and I have not been weary since."

I often dream about living in a home like this. But reality always sets me straight: what about kids' education, what about the world I still want to see, do I really think I could live there for longer than a week without getting bored? Anyways, living a place like Shanghai really makes me long for some tranquility.
A cosy morning after rain.
Wish I had my NDx with me...but rush out without it nor the NDs...sigh.

In contrast to daily hullabaloo with kids playing, the pool was completely still in the evening, with nice reflections.
On September 24, 2011 I shot a wedding in Carmel as an invited second shooter for Ivan Makarov Photography. You can see a collection of the photographs I took from this wedding as I upload them over time here.
Hidden away in a dense inlet along the winding Mt Dandenong Tourist Road is the internationally renowned William Ricketts Sanctuary. The sanctuary is not only one the Dandenong’s more iconic experiences, but one of the most inspiring and tranquil places on the mountain.
A quiet gentleman who had spent much time living with aboriginal communities in central Australia, William Ricketts created the sanctuary as a place for quiet reflection and replenishing the spirit. He believed that all Australians should adopt Aboriginal philosophies, respecting the spirituality of the mother earth and all things in the natural world. Some of his works throughout the grounds also depict his feelings on the takeover and devastation of white man into the natural environment.
Within the sanctuary grounds, there are over 90 different sculptures depicting the aboriginal people engaging with the earth in a pure forest setting. Carved into rocks and tree trunks that dot the paths that flow throughout the property, the themes in his artwork reflect his philosophies of connections with human, nature and the earth.
