"I tried to find Him on the Christian cross, but He was not there; I went to the temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas, but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere. I searched on the mountains and in the valleys, but neither in the heights nor in the depths was I able to find Him. I went to the Kaaba in Mecca, but He was not there either. I questioned the scholars and philosophers, but He was beyond their understanding. I then looked into my heart, and it was there where He dwelled that I saw Him; He was nowhere else to be found." ~ Jalaluddin Rumi, poet and mystic (1207-1273)
It seems like I am posting a lot of 'Challenge' images here in my gallery lately. Here is another, from the September Forum Challenge: Light and Shadow {---link. I you haven't entered any photos yet, don't delay! Here we see a parhelion (Sundog) peaking of the top of a massive (and I mean massive) thunderhead. I posted a broader view of it in my thumbnail to give you some sense of its size. So here we have the cloud, the sundog, si;houttes of birds in flight and the power lines to tie it all together -- cropped for the composition. Have a great weekend everyone! ------
Thanks for your hard-to-find comments on my previous upload,
