Greetings,
A photo I took on the weekend in Shoreham on the Mornington Peninsula, in Victoria, Australia.
Metta,

Oh isn't that lovely! We have them over here but they are the button yellow variety and not quite as spectacular .... but their name , nenuphar, has always entranced me.

Greeting Retro,
I looks like one of those places where the gandhabbas dwell.

Hi Retro
Nice shot!
I hope you and your young son didn't get lost in the maze!
Cheers

in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

A beauty! Thanks.
Re: A lotus
Thats awesome! Thanks for posting it.
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Sure. It's actually a scaled down version only 25% the width and 25% the length of the original. If you want the original, just message me your e-mail address.Dazzlebling wrote:What a beautiful photo, Retro! May I add it to my pictures collection?

Re: A lotus
I think the original would be too big for my lotus picture collection, this size is just fine, thanks ever so much.

Nice one, Retro!
I took this shot at the LA Japanese Gardens last summer. Looks like a different kind.
