That is breathtaking!
Thank you for sharing!

This is not my work, but the work of Gomyo, the Hoodie Monk. I thought some of the more hip-hop oriented among us (are there any rap fans here besides me?) would appreciate it.

Thanks Greg.

I had trouble viewing your pictures though.

Well, shoot- I thought I did that correctly... dag-gone newbies :(

[Mensch]

Very nice, Greg! I especially like the "Prairie" picture, probably because I am a huge fan of Wile E. Coyote, the epitome of attachment and suffering.

A message and photos that Hans asked me to post ...


I discovered a few nice photographs I took whilst travelling through the norwegian part of Lapland. Since I'll be on a sesshin with Doko Waskönig [a German teacher in Nishijima Roshi's lineage] from tomorrow onwards, maybe you can post them on our Treeleaf forum on my behalf as part of the picture thread?

Hope all is well with you. Big Gassho, Hans

I AM HAVING SOME PROBLEM TO UPLOAD THESE. I WILL TRY AGAIN LATER

wow Greg. What a strange stone.

[greg]

:D
Thanks Will!

There were several of these odd blue stones on the side of the road. My daughters and I were camping in northern Wisconsin in August, and as we rolled out of a state park, I caught a glimpse of these through the brush. I had to climb up onto one of them to get the picture- I definitely think it was worth it!

I took this pic of my plum tree late in March. The sun had just come up.

Drats, I don't know how to post a picture.

[Jundo]

Hi Greg,

You have to upload it to a host sight ... here is a good one ...

http://www.googlepages.com

then link to it here as you tried to do with the IMG buttons.

We have to make a note for the new TechFaq!

Thanks for the photos Greg. I don't know, but that water looks familiar :)

[greg]

My 8 year old daughter and I were playing with water :D this was one of my favorite shots from that day...

[Lynn]

I'm really enjoying the wonderful level of creativity everyone is sharing. I'll post another something in a bit.

Wouldn't it be fun to pick a day and time and have anyone who's interested take a photo at that day, at that time, wherever they are, whatever they are doing, then post it? Like a dharma moment in all our lives just to see what that "same" instant looks like through our varying facets of the jewel. (We could try to syncronize for the *actual same instant but I think our time zones are disparate enough to make Will have to get up at 2AM and take a picture of his blankies. :P )

Speaking of blankies, mine are singing a siren song and the four cats await. Nite.

Gassho~

Lynn,

That sounds like a very interesting experiment... throw a dart at a calendar and let us know the date/time you come up with... maybe start a new thread for this and repeat every so often....

Gassho,

my digital camera displayed its impermanence a month a go and im still waiting for it to return from repairs, so here is a few I've had sitting on the hard drive here @ work.

"Felix", a neglected neighborhood cat and a regular dinner guest in the little bar around the block. He’s a rather grumpy old fellow. Guests are advised to enter carefully as he likes to take a nap on the doormat.

Mensch- that's GREAT- love it!

These were some pictures I took about three weeks ago in Stephens State Park, which is near my home in the mountains of northern New Jersey. My kids and I hike around here every Sunday afternoon. Probably nothing like what people picture when they think of NJ, but this is home...
(The pic I use for my avatar was taken by my 5 year old the same day, in a sort of wigwam someone had built near one of the less used trails.)

Uh oh, a photography thread? Don't get me started... :twisted:

My visual sketchbook is on Flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/iamskye/ (http://http://www.flickr.com/photos/iamskye/)

Some overtly Buddhist examples from various trips to Taiwan:

I'm finding a great deal in common between Zen practice and candid street photography. It is a very meditative state on the street, a weird calm balance between openness to your surroundings, what you want to express, technical considerations, and luck. A weird meeting of analytic and synthetic - which you have to both hold, but not too tight. At some point I may write something up on the topic.

And then other times, I just like taking pictures of "things" :)

Anyway, I could go on... and on... and on... photography and Buddhism are my main kicks these days!!
