Description
I think I may have posted one or two photos of this buddha which sits in the middle of our circular driveway before, but I particularly like this one. Although I am not "officially" a practicing buddhist, I find myself agreeing with a lot of buddhist philosophy & the presence of this statue (& other smaller ones in & around my house) help to remind me not to get too caught up in trivial distractions or to let myself become stressed by daily life. On a somewhat related note, I just found out that the Dalai Lama will be giving a talk in Eugene (which is a little less than 3 hours from where I live) in May entitled "The Path to Peace and Happiness in the Global Society". I have read several of his books & admire him very much, so I am looking forward to hearing him in person...

Lovely image.
So lovely among the pine trees, and the snow sets off the buddha so nicely. A welcoming image!
For me you have expressed a spiritual serenity and essence. This has a very strong symbolic imaging for myself, who am not a Buddhist, but like you delight in the in the tenants’ and wisdom. It is an instant fav for me. What a way to greet your friends and guests. Beautifully done!
Wonderfully done and fabulous capture... I like it!!!
Very Nice. Aloha
Great capture very peaceful scene
Very peaceful view you have!
Beautiful sanctuary. Is that lodge pole pine? I need to get my hands on some straight poles like that to make rustic furniture. Great shot!
UVDan: I don't know exactly what kind of pines these are, but sorry, you can't cut them down. There is a good deal of very nice madrone that has already been cut down on the hillside above my house (thinned for fire safety) that would make great firewood, but getting it down from there isn't easy.
A beautiful position for that figure.
Nice capture-I think most people have been touched by Buddhism in one respect or another but again most don't realise it
SUPERLATIVE WORK
lovely shot!
A beautifully serene composition and capture!
Very serene picture :)
White, green and brown are fantastic!
Nice shot
The pristine trees caught my eyes first and they are a wonderful background for your Buddha.
