Since study hall is having to compete with the Vuelta a Espana this week, a few photos instead - we are possibly into the second half of our summer here, after the fog months. Yesterday was balmy, and there were clear skies overnight, and more sun today:
Yesterday evening
The moon this morning before zazen
I snuck upstairs to take this before service
After breakfast

nice photos!! Capturing the moment at the right place, at the right time is perhaps a lesson in impermanence. Return minutes later and the stunning scenes may be gone forever.
Thank you. That was definitely the case with the third picture - I could see the light when I came up from the zendo, and while I wouldn't usually go upstairs at that time, I knew how fleeting the light would be. My current show is a lot about getting that moment. Not that it is necessarily better than another moment, but it is always transient.

What an eye!
Shucks.
The 'before service' one is my favourite, fabulous :-)
Shots of the city continue to fascinate. So many different types of light and weather conditions.
