Meditation

Takeing a shortcut through a little used entrance to a park I spotted these two guys meditating on a bench in the sunshine. They looked very peaceful so I was careful not to disturb them. They are wearing robes associated with Buddhism, but of course I can't be sure that is the case.

There is an alternative view in the PiP if you're interested.

Thanks for looking and have a lovely day and an enjoyable weekend.

I'm pretty sure they were meditating............I've no idea where they would sleep though. I would guess they were just resting before moving on.

I would think you are right in your assumptions Keith. Two superb shots. I especially like the PiP. They look so peaceful and at ease and the background is beautiful!

I hope you have a good weekend with maybe some sunshine!

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne ^club

Glad you like these Rosa.............I was in two minds whether to take photos or not, but I decided that as long as I could do it without disturbing them I would go ahead.

Have a good weekend yourself........not sure what weather we're getting though, it looks like a bit of a mixed bag!

heel vaak zie je mensen die stil denkend voor zich uit kijken--ik denk dat men met de gedachten bij een mogelijke 3 e wereldoorlog

That's a bit pessimistic Fred. I hope they're praying for peace :-)

I suspect they have no home other than the Earth, and everything they own is in their packs.

You're probably right Ronald.............and they're most likely very happy!

Maybe praying for peace during a rest?

A pair of superb images Keith, they look prepared for a long walk but if they were travelling far doing it in flip-flops must have been difficult, have a good weekend.

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Roger (Grisly) ^club

Thanks Roger. I'm guessing they must spend most of their time on the road, so will be used to it by now, flip-flops and all.

Glad you like the shot............and have a good weekend yourself.

Other people’s lives often look desirable, but not always.
Two superb photographs. I admire the bravery in your photography and your wide choices of subject matter. Have a good weekend Keith.

Each to their own Colin.

Glad you like the photos - as I said to Rosa (above) I was in two minds whether to take photos or not, but I decided that as long as I could do it without disturbing them I would go ahead.

As to my subject matter, I just take photos of what I like and if others like them, then that's just great! Have a good weekend yourself.

magnifique photo.Ce sont des moines Thibétains (La bure des bouddhistes Vietnamiens est marron. Il fut un temps où je pouvais expliquer la différence entre le bouddhisme Thibétain et le bouddhisme Vietnamien. Celà me serait bien difficile aujourd'hui (en dehors de la couleur de la bure)

Thank you for that information Jean Paul. I had no idea there were different kinds of Buddhism........but I shouldn't be surprised as all religions vary in some way I suppose!

I'm pleased you like the photos.
