A at the Wat: the What?
Various Stages of Buddhist Hell: Having your head transformed to that of a pig ... is that hell or a Twilight Zone episode? And are those folks having their duodenums extracted by a fisherman?
Tourists at Temple Doorway: Excellent. Just photoshop some flames in the background and maybe another person cut off at the head and it will be obvious to even the dullards.
Monks Chanting: Is that a mirror?
Self-Portrait 1: Is that a stock photo of Aubrie super-imposed on a new background?
No shoes: Aubrie's clothes are beautiful. And she wears them well!
Self-Portrait 2: Aubrie is turning into an Asian woman.
Unused Buddhas: Such slender wallflowers. Used for what? Can they be misused?
G Self-Portrait with Buddha: Gabe's expression is a touch more fraught with consternation than the Buddha's.
Buddha in the "Calling For Rain" Pose: Looks like he just did the dishes and flicked the excess water off his fingers.
A. in Temple Shadows: Dramatic, Latin, Macabre.
At the Falls: Wow. Glorious. Edenic. Wavy (hair and water).
Great photos and a nice contrast to the glaring ice-covered sidewalks of Brooklyn. Love, Randy
Gabe, carrying this off with a lot more style and flair than I would have thought by this point in the trip -- no hair growing over your eyes, limbs sagging from backpacks and souvenirs, tres chouette. The falls looks like a treat, or at least a nice break from dusty bus rides. Did you actually go all the way in? something about it reminds me of a bathtub more than a waterfall, i'm not gonna lie.
Learning any more about Buddhism? What sect, interaction with local custom, etc? Obviously that would be hard to discover unless you could find a monk who spoke some english, but I'd be fascinated to find out what you can learn. Happy trails! --Kurt
