Renae
Ruins of Persepolis, an ancient ceremonial capital of the second Iranian dynasty.
Beautiful stained glass; thanks to Hamid in Iran.
Just wanted to share this personal photo taken off my back deck yesterday, March 23rd. Spring is springing!
Look at that smile!
Wife of the Governor of Mar Kham in Lhasa-style headdress and dress. Gartok, Eastern Tibet, circa 1920-1930. This and the other Tibetian cards were purchased by me for my private collection.
Monks of Nechung Monastery, near Lhasa, Tibet; their lives are so much different than mine.
My scanner did not recognize the top and bottom black portions of this card so it looks out of proportion here. I purchased this card, by monk/artist Robert Lentz, because I’m fascinated by the tale of Assisi. The story goes that the Icon of Christ Crucified came alive and said to him three times, “Francis, Francis, go and repair My house which, as you can see, is falling into ruins.” (Thanks to Wikipedia for that quote!)
