I have not spent much time photographing around Bendigo for quite a while, and looking at this panorama has stirred something in me, rekindling the desire to venture out with my camera again. Sometimes, all it takes is a familiar place seen from a different perspective to remind us why we fell in love with photography in the first place.
The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion is one of Bendigo’s remarkable landmarks, yet it seems to receive far less attention than it deserves. Rising with quiet grandeur against the surrounding landscape, it is a masterpiece of architecture and construction, where craftsmanship, patience and spiritual devotion come together in a remarkable expression of human endeavour. Perhaps it is time I rediscovered the places closer to home, and learned to see them again through the lens with fresh eyes.

ReplyDeleteExcelente trabajo. Genial.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I had to look it up. I see that it requires tickets to visit.
ReplyDeleteIt is a donation of 10 bucks.
DeleteNever heard of that before, so had to look it up!
ReplyDeleteThe whole place is built up as per donations over 20 years
DeleteThis is something I have not seen before. It is beautiful. But I think I like the sky above it even better. The patch of light is almost centered right over it.
ReplyDeleteI have posted the location twice in this blog. Each one with a different look of sky.

Australia is an amazing place, Roentare. I, of course, had to look this stupa up to find out more about it. We are all searching for God and meaning through different eyes.
