Light

As I continue my classes on the study of contemplative photography and Miksang, I would like to introduce the element of Light. Light of course is all around us, but as the angle of the sun to earth and the weather changes, Light changes too and sometimes very dramatically. Being aware of these changes allows you to see Light and appreciate its beauty.
