Nathu La is one of the three open trading border posts between China and India; the other two are Shipkila in Himachal Pradesh and Lipulekh (or Lipulech) in Uttarakhand.[2] Sealed by India after the 1962 Sino-Indian War, Nathu La was re-opened in 2006 following numerous bilateral trade agreements. The opening of the pass was expected to bolster the economy of the region and play a key role in the growing Sino-Indian trade but that has not happened. Currently, agreements between the two nations limit trade across the pass to 29 types of goods from India and 15 from the Chinese side. The opening also shortens the travel distance to important Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the region.
We were behind this caravan of 4x4s when the jeep in the front broke down due to some reason. Luckly for me, the view was fantastic.
Tsongmo Lake or Changu Lake is a glacial lake in the East Sikkim, India, some 40 kilometres (25 mi) away from Gangtok at altitude of 3,780 m (12,400 ft).
The road to Nathu La passes the lake on north side. The Chinese border crossing is only some 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) east-northeast in a straight line, but some 18 kilometres (11 mi) by road.
Indian Postal Service released a commemorative stamp on the lake on 6 November 2006.
Marco Zero (Zero Point) is the official center of the city of São Paulo and the point where where all distances are measured. A small hexagonal marble monument, designed by Jean Gabriel Villin e Américo R. Neto, showing a map of the roads leaving São Paulo towards other states, was inaugurated on September 18, 1934. Each of the six sides symbolically represents another Brazilian state--Parana (araucaria), Mato Grosso ('bandeirantes' clothing), Santos (ship), Rio de Janeiro (Sugar Loaf mountain and banana plants), Minas Gerais (deep mining materials) and Goias (panner, surface mining material).
Praça da Sé (Sé Square or Cathedral Square), initially known as Largo da Sé, is a public square developed around the religious building that preceded the current Catedral da Sé at the beginning of the 20th century. Its geography has remained mostly unchanged since, but the current landscape is a result of a project led by José Eduardo de Assis Lefèvre in the 1970s to facilitate the opening of a São Paulo Metro station. The design represents influence from landscaping works underway on the west coast of the United States, characterized by rigorous geometry, through multiple levels with reflecting pools and prism-like land masses. Leading to the cathedral are files of imperial palms which enclose a flagstone-covered courtyard.
The plaza has born witness to many of Sao Paulo's historic events over the year, including the Diretas Já, a civil unrest movement in 1984 demanding an end to the dictatorship and calling for direct presidential elections in Brazil.
A preliminary cover design for my next novel, Incubus Sky, which will be a scifi exploration of the alien-abduction phenomenon. (Update 8/29/14: The title is now Ulterior Sky. Update 3/28/17: The title is now Ontogenesis (Libri Mysterii Book 5.) From my research into the surprisingly widespread phenomenon, I've learned that a lot of people are experiencing *something* that can leave them with post traumatic stress disorder but no one knows conclusively what it is. I'm not writing about the phenomenon because I think I know what it is or isn't all about; I simply find it a compelling scenario that affects people of all social classes all around the world. The implications are profound, and the experiences deeply affect those involved. It's an interesting subject that seems to expand the more I research it. So, just how deep *does* this rabbit hole go?
A good place to explore the Big Bend NP and vicinity.

Shot at the Zero Point, Binsar, Uttarakhand.
Within 5-10 minutes of taking this shot the sky was completely covered with clouds and it started raining. See my comment below for a shot taken seconds before this one.

This lunch was too delicious not to share with you all. The soup was amazing! The salad was fabulous! The PB&J sushi was to die for! Ok maybe that's taking it a bit far, but it was sooooo good!
The Zero-Point Field
Ervin Laszlo (nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 and 2005) considers the zero-point field to be the fundamental underlying basis for reality. Laszlo sees the zero-point field as the basis for the entire realm of manifest phenomena, including mass, energy, and information. The zero-point field stores information and according to Laszlo may very well be accessible by human consciousness non-sensorially in the form of intuitions, images, archetypes and the seemingly anomalous contents of altered-state experiences.
Laszlo writes about the zero-point field:
“There the almost infinitely varied things and forms of the manifest world are united in an essential oneness at a deeper level. At the fundamental level of reality the forms of existing things dissolve into formlessness, living organisms exist in a state of pure potentiality, and dynamic functions condense into static stillness. All attributes of the manifest world merge into a state beyond attributes. Time, space and causality are transcended in a state of pure being: the state of Brahman. Absolute reality is the reality of Brahman; the manifest world enjoys but a derived, secondary reality – mistaking it for the real is the illusion of Maya.”
When you have clear skies, the view of the valley below with the river flowing majestically is a sight worth all the effort you took climbing up to about 14000 ft above sea level.
Found this lamp in our hotel in Pelling, Sikkim. I likes the mosaic colored lamp. The colors really caught my eye.

Last photo taken before I left the Pakistan Monument for the night. This is a re-upload. The original photo had incorrect colour calibration.

Logline: Trevor frequently wakes up from weird abduction dreams, but when the ufo he’s dreaming he’s in is actually shot down by the military he learns that he’s been an abductee since childhood and that government agencies will not tolerate crash survivors or escapees from deep underground bases.
A we had some ten odd minutes before our tour bus came along, the Moroccan lady and I decided to walk around taking pictures. Here is the Million stone again, the market stone from which distances were measured during the Byzantine empire. Another picture and notes appeared earlier in this album. (Istanbul, Turkey, Nov. 2014)
