Floating Madonna

A statue of Mary appearsĀ  to float within an arch on a church wall in Barcelona.

There is of course a small ledge on which the icon sits,but it is a neat trick of religion to create images and symbols to inspire, and to aspire to.

Apart from the prayerful pose and purity of her robes,the Madonna levitates above the ground, but is well below heaven.

Someone to look up to, or just another struggling seeker?

Magical Water Circles

Water lilies, a flora favourite of mine – this from the amazingĀ  Spice Gardens in Penang, Malaysia on a trip up there in 2016.

NotĀ too many flowers on offer, so the focus is on the lily pads.

Great view of the structural mechanicsĀ  of the plants,with the stems connecting the circular pads clearly visible though the water.

Even though you can see how the floating trick is performed, the sight is no less magical!
