It’s still Wednesday, somewhere, but here (in Oz) it’s already Wesak.
Incredible to think it’s already a year since I took these shots on Wesak night in Colombo.

Lovely stuff. Time has a habit of zipping by, eh ? 😉
More and more quickly, it seems! 🙂
Having seen many of your beautiful photos of SL, I kind of feel l’ve walked through these places, and I begin to miss it…
Dear Amy … Join the club! 🙂
Magical, aren’t they? Hope you’re happy in your new home. Life moves on, doesn’t it? 🙂
I am, really, Jo, but miss so many things, and people – it’s especially bad at times like Wesak, which has so many religious, social and personal connotations. But magical it sure is, and I’m eternally grateful I had the opportunity to experience life there 🙂
Very other worldly, Meredith! Fascinating!
I love the drama, and the tradition – how lucky I was to have lived there. 🙂
Stunning photos, M! How wonderful to look back at the beauty you were able to witness, and to be a part of.
Oh, I’m so grateful I had a half decent camera at last, and was able to go out on my ‘photo shoots’, to record some of what I lived with. The red of these ‘lotus’ camps is terrific, isn’t it? 🙂
Lovely captures, Meredith!
I am missing it too..
I wonder if it’ll get easier with time, or whether special times, like Wesak, will always spring open the doors to let in nostalgia?
I can imagine why you miss it so
Magical shots of your special place. It is wonderful you have all these images to get lost in when you are feeling “homesick” for your paradise.
Marvelous captures Meredith. I can imagine how much you must miss all this.
Very beautiful and understand why you long for the familiar rituals and sights.
Magnificent capture!
Magical images, Meredith. Time really does fly by, but thank goodness for memories and photos. 🙂
Wonderful photos to bring the memory to life 🙂
we will never tire of them, ceremony is so important for the soul 🙂
Dear Wonderlust, so btw that photo is not of me but of the monster who kept his family prisoners. here in S A
