mozgur 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Should I waited for sun to move up, so that it was centered above tidal island? as is, the composition makes me think about my life, and life of mankind. Men change little. Our characters are trapped to small islands in another dimension. Oblivious to its boundaries, we live from til the end with little change in our islands. Unable to change, our character is reason for our success and our failures as well. Link to comment

awareness 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Buddhist's meditate on the reality of anicca (Pali), the doctrine of impermanence, one of the basic characteristics of all existence. If one looks deeply into the nature of everything one finds the reality of anicca, impermanace. Permanace is an illusion, even with regards to man's character. Also, all is interconnected, i.e., "no man is an island" - John Donne. Great photo but the philosophy behind it is illusionary. Link to comment
bradkim 8 Posted August 10, 2007 Excellent image, Mehmet! I like the position of the sun as it is. It makes a delicate balance in the image..... Link to comment
mozgur 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Alan, I am not familiar with Buddhist teachings. It seems that the idea of everything moving one state to another seems acceptable. Yet, my views expressed above cannot be considered completely illusory within this framework, if they interpreted as referring to any given state rather than the larger scheme. In other words, I conjecture that there is permanence within each state, but the being (here this term means more than human, you may prefer existence) is not stuck in one state, hence impermanence of states.
