@dj.tigersprout: thanks jaycee. i don't go here often, but, i guess, fairly regularly. this was taken the day my two older sons took refuge vows.

I suppose it would be a cliche to say that this had a Zen like calmness to it. But there you go I've said it! Top Shot

This one is really startling, partly because I'm more used to starker scenes where the shadows play a more sinister part as if they're hiding things. Here, however, this has an enveloping feel to it. I'm babbling, and all I really need to say is "I like it!"

An expert capture of the lighted lamps and the ambient light in the room. A beautiful combination. Very well done.

A calm solitude away from the rest of the world you have described it so well.

Wonderful light and a relaxing mood. Very peaceful...I think the Buddhist faith is represented well here.

The spread of tones is just right, zone-systemwise, very attractive, and portrays the Buddhist theme well.

Calming maybe but I'm leaning more Hitchcock to me. Either way very cool available light shot!

So warm, inviting and homey. Not the usual analog kansas. But I don't mean that in a bad way. :)

You've really got me interested in your cameras now! Is this an old Rollei?

@jeff (aka dogilicious): yes, it's about 50 years old, and probably my favorite.

Oh my....this photo is simply gorgeous. It certainly sets the mood and reminds me of something but I'm not quite sure....
