At Kyichu Lhakhang near Paro, Western Bhutan.
The Jowo Temple of Kyichu is one of the oldest temples in Bhutan, originally built in the 7th century by the Tibetan Emperor Songtsen Gampo. It is considered to be one of the 108 border taming temples he built. In the 8th century the temple was visited by Padmasambhava and it is believed he concealed many spiritual treasures here. In 1644 the temple was taken over by Ngawang Namgyal. From 1836 to 1838 the temple was restored and re-consecrated by the 25th Je Khenpo Sherab Gyaltshen. In 1971, Kesang Choden Wangchuck, the queen of Jigme Dorji Wangchuck built a Guru Temple next to the old Jowo Temple which was consecrated by Dilgo Khyentse. Ever since then the annual rites of great accomplishment for the deities Vajrasattva, Palchen Heruka, and Vajrakilaya have been held in this temple for the well being of the country under the patronage of Kesang Choden Wangchuck. There is a belief that the two orange trees in the courtyard of Kyichu Lhakhang bear fruit throughout the year.
The temple is part of a network of 12 temples arranged around the Jo-khang temple at Lhasa. All of them were built in the time of King Songtsen Gampo.

Dass sich in beiden Alpendörfern eine so reiche Bilderwelt entfaltete, hat mit ihrer Lage an der von Venedig nach Augsburg führenden Handelsstraße zu tun, auf der nicht nur Waren, sondern auch kulturelle Errungenschaften ausgetauscht wurden.
If I remember correctly, this is a combination of two vintage patterns I had on file. I pulled the design of the central sunburst medallion from one window, and the floral vine-work from another. Add a few antique jewels, and there you go.

Alright, dear readers, it must be said: I have a crush on General William Jackson Palmer.
He wooed me with his passion for creating a healthy, cultured society. Then seduced me with his sense of fairness and familial loyalty to the workers in his employment. There's nothing more to be done, he has my heart.
A decorated Civil War hero who made his fortune in the railroad business, Palmer (1836-1909) left his mark on towns throughout the state of Colorado. But Colorado Springs was special to the General. It was the place he chose to live, the town where he wished to bring his wife "Queen" Mary Lincoln Mellen Palmer (photo), and where he hoped to raise his three girls, Elsie, Dorothy and Marjory.
Last weekend I had a chance to visit Glen Eyrie (c. 1904), Palmer's historic residence in Colorado Springs. A staggering 33,000 square feet sited on more than 700 acres, the building has 33 bedrooms, 23 bathrooms and 24 fireplaces.
Window of Hope. Hope is the state which promotes the belief in good outcomes related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope is the "feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best" or the act of "looking forward to something with desire and reasonable confidence" or "feeling that something desired may happen" . Hope is a key concept in most major world religions, often signifying the "hoper" believes an individual or a collective group will reach a concept of heaven.

Happy Window Wednesday. My first one.
This is from a restaurant in Walnut Creek California. The succulents go all the way down to the sidewalk and around the door. I thought this showed the window and the detail of the plants better. HWW

She caught my eye when she'd come to the window to help a customer. As she moved about the shop, I waited for one still moment.

Two benches outside the windows of a San Francisco restaurant
At the end of April I spent a couple of hours shooting through the golden hour and on into the evening in San Francisco, mostly exploring along The Embarcadero on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. Our group first wandered out on a pedestrian pier, where we hung up through sunset and into early twilight as the light faded from the sky and city lights came on.
Soon I left the group — I had a long drive back home — and wandered along the Embarcadero as I headed back to my car. Photographing into restaurant and club windows intrigues me. There is often a striking contrast between the interior world of people having dinner or drinks and the exterior world of very quite urban landscapes. Here a couple of unoccupied benches sit beneath windows, with more colorful lighting and a number of patrons inside.

Sorry if I am driving you mad with Lobster traps and fishing shacks, but I just love them! I am putting together a little collection of them from interesting finds on my travels and challenging myself along the way to come up with some creative compositions. The red window and traps here were a must have for the collection! Taken in North Rustico Harbour, PEI
