The door of Mahakala House Kagyu Samye Ling, Tibetan Buddhist Centre - Scotland - www.samyeling.org/
At the back of the temple is a stone building that houses a special protector shrine. Prayers are recited there continuously to ward off and transform obstacles to the practice of the Buddhist teachings.
Similar protector shrines are found in Tibet alongside great temples. Visitors are requested not to approach this building or knock on the door as there is a nun there who is in permanent retreat.

The Bass from Car Rocks 6241382299_de742bb669_b
Seacliff beach to Car Rocks Even though I used a rucksack to weigh down the tripod during a breezy spell, I got camera shake on this long exposure. I was about to delete it when I noticed the subtle, pastel colours and wanted to try and make (with limited skill) an 'impressionist watercolour' out of it.
Photography purists hate this kind of thing and painters probably do too ... it's neither one thing nor the other!
