Zen

DSCN4935_2

That’s the title of the theme topic chosen by the PAPM for the first theme-based photo sharing. So Zen, that’s a Buddhist philosophy centered around meditation in view of attaining enlightenment. Zen photos usually evoke images of calmness, tranquility & oneness.

With this in mind, I came up with an idea – a meditating Buddha figurine behind the sunset (similar to the bus photos).
