Challenge for Pictures in a Series: Motif or Concept Towards ZEN

[Maggie Terlecki]

There are so many temples in Kyoto, I can't remember which one this was… Shame on me
As for the geisha, she may not be one as in Spring, a lot of juvenile girls do wear the traditional suits :

Oh, how cool. I had simply assumed. I didn't know about this spring tradition. Maggie

Nicolas,

Your picture is extraordinary with one red bottle holding it from total abstraction.

That creates a tension, preventing us getting totally lost!

How large is the print?

That picture of a peony has been printed (and exhibited last year within "Un peu de rouge, pourtant") 140 cmx105 cm. It could be printed even larger (thanks to MF camera), one of the petal being perfectly sharp.
The red "thing' is the pistil, not a bottle! LoL!

Here are my very first attempts at such Zen simplicity, but I am bereft of Buddhist knowledge. I have meditated in a group 3 years ago and it was refreshing.

Purity and simplicity with black and white gradients, interesting pictures Asher!

Tom,

This is beyond extraordinary: so simple, detailed but apparently meaningless, yet open to infinite reading! Bravo!

In a way it’s akin to Tom Dinning’s extreme nothingness with perhaps something to find, in his post above!

But yours is a far more familiar starting point for thought!

Nicolas,


Another stark meditative surprise!


You privide enough attractiveness and detail to get our attention, but not our understanding.

That is is brilliant move on your part in allowing us to leave behind everything else and now our mind might be free to ask questions or not!

[Maggie Terlecki]

J'adore ça, Nicolas! Superbe!

Merci Asher,
N'est-ce pas l'essence de l'esprit Zen ?

 

[nicolas claris]

J'adore ça, Nicolas! Superbe!

Merci Maggie !
Venant d'une adoratrice des fleurs,
Cela me fait chaud au cœur
La vraie vie !

Des japonaises venues voir l'exposition l'ont adorée également, elle trouvait cette image très… féminine : )

Bien sur mon très cher ami Français!

Il est, en fait, assez rare qu'aucun titre ne soit nécessaire.

Cela peut parler de lui-même!

This imho the difference between a photograph and an image…

Explain!

Explain!

You did say it! :
