"This supreme science was thus received through the chain of disciplic succession, and the saintly kings understood it in that way. But in course of time the succession was broken, and therefore the science as it is appears to be lost." Bhagavad Gita 4.2

Amalfi, Italy

Amalfi Church

The Amalfi coast is a fantastic drive by car or motorcycle. These photos were from one of the many inexpensive tourboat rides along the steep cliffs of the Mediterranean, graced with small farm terraces, and the homes of many interesting people from around the world.

Heceta Head

It is a wonderous drive along the Pacific coast from Southern California to Olympic National Forest. There are hundreds of historic sites, state parks, National Parks, and scenic viewpoints along the well maintained highway.

Denali / Mount McKinley Summit

The Pilot told me he had been flying the mountain for 5 years and had never experienced as clear a day as this.

I believe it should be called Denali. No man's name could describe the vastness of Alaska, or this "Mon-tane''.

Trinity Site

In the New Mexico desert stands this simple sign insufficiently warning the world of human conditions. Complacency, greed, arrogance, and a closed mind to other Religions are not the friend of your grandchildren.

Nelumbo Nucifera

This is a plant growing in my pond. As invasive as it is beautiful, it grows in as much as 8 foot of water here, so it's not good for most ponds. There is a legend that mentions The Buddha emerging from the Ganges upon its leaf.

Crowfoot Mountain and Bow Lake, Canadian Rockies

 In recent years, I've been thinking that, the admiration of beauty can nearly equal, that in the vista.

Saguaro National Park, The Circle of Life

Though ages old, improvement upon this basic message has been illusive. Remarkably simple, particularly attractive where the end meets the beginning, all questions meet with all answers.
