Buddha Temple

I was blown away by the serene beauty of this retreat. The location had been carefully chosen to be remote, yet accessible. All you could hear was Nat (...)

Prayer Wheel

A closer view of the giant prayer wheel. I wonder if the pivot point is sitting on one of Brittany's ley lines?

Prayer Wheel Scenery

The Prayer Wheel Temple. I found the landscaping here to be marvellous.

Main Temple
Main Temple

The main temple was open and the ladies of the gift shop said it was OK to go inside, provided we take off our shoes. Once inside, Dad was quite irrev (...)

I'm sorry that I don't know enough about Tibetan Buddhism to describe what is in these images.

Main Temple
Main Temple

I have no idea what this represents. I do know that there was very little light in the main temple room. My camera came through with the gorgeous colo (...)

I presume that this is where the Lama teaches from. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Flag Of Tibet
Flag Of Tibet

Free Tibet! A slogan that slips easily out of a hipster's mouth before he turns back to his latté and Angry Birds. At least, here, the Tibetan flag d (...)

Bashful Bird
Bashful Bird

I don't know what kind of bashful bird this is - perhaps you can help identify it. Thanks. We returned home on a sad note. We had stopped to visit Fé (...)

Sea Shore Shot

Speaking of the unwary ... at any moment, a rogue wave can rear up and slurp that couple away. You'd have to hope the nearby rescue boat can reach you (...)

Etel
Etel

The river splits the area in two and there is only one bridge across it. We decided to visit first the northern shore, called La Barre D'Etel. Here, y (...)

Sunken Boat
Sunken Boat

Meanwhile, back on the river Etel. Notice the motorboat coming up behind the sailboat. That isn't an optical illusion, and neither is the boat sinking (...)

Forever Beach
Forever Beach

The north beach is safe for swimmers. In the far distance is Gavres, Port Louis and the Lorient estuary. Fabulous. It was 25 C, that day. Note: the so (...)

Etel Tour Boat

One of tour boats that ply the Ria Etel. Note the bow wave. The boat is sailing downstream while the tide is going upstream. The diesel engines get qu (...)

Seadoo Crazies
Seadoo Crazies

Twin roars came barreling down the river. Just some crazies on Seadoos. These things are fast. A few days later, we heard that one of these had hit a (...)
