I took this picture in India last September. Varanasi is sprawled with Shiva Lingams. In meditation we call it the “seat of the mind”.

“The non anthropomorphic Lingam form of Shiva is what is held in reverence in temples all over the Indian sub continent. The Lingam is a symbol. It is a symbol of that which is invisible yet omnipresent. It is hence a a visible symbol of the Ultimate Reality which is present in us (and in all objects of creation ).” text from Templenet.

This is a Flickr test. Hey that’s nice, now I can directly post Flickr photo’s from myself and other people to my blog here. Very cool indeed.

Every morning I close my eyes and visualize a color.
Do this every day and you’ll see that each day
has it’s own color.

“Naive or commercial or merely utilitarian photography is no different in kind from photography as practiced by the most gifted professionals: there are pictures taken by anonymous amateurs which are just as interesting, as complex formally, as representative of photography’s characteristic powers as a Stieglitz or a Walker Evans.” Susan Sontag ‘on photography’ 1977
