How beautiful it is when the sky is so deeply blue, and this blueness completely absorbs the…boddhisattva in # photography • 20 hr. ago • 1 min readHeadlights on a bridgeWalked across this bridge again. Late evening, you know. Always feels different, the city like this at night. All these cars, their headlights, they really cut through the dark. Makes you wonder where everyone is going. My hands got a bit cold, forgot gloves at home. But the view, even with all the traffic, it has something.

Like this artist by the canal. It was a bit chilly, yes, but he was completely lost in his world. His beanie, his posture, everything said 'focus'. I watched him for a while, the way he put paint onto the canvas. The painting, it wasn't a photo, more like the feeling of the…boddhisattva in # photography • 5 days ago • 1 min readReflections of a quiet autumn daySorry for the double post Walking along the river on cloudy day I felt peace.

That day was no exception, as every step along the alley was carpeted with crimson and golden leaves.

The air had that real crisp autumn bite to it, made you want to pull your scarf tighter. It was a bit grey, but the light was still pretty good, somehow. Saw these little stalls setup on the side, people looking through stuff, some trinkets maybe. Then you…boddhisattva in # photography • 8 days ago • 1 min readA tranquil autumn passageI remember this day, several years ago. The river carried its waters so calmly, like a mirror, reflecting every twig and every little cloud.

How…boddhisattva in # photography • 10 days ago • 1 min readThe city's quiet rushI was walking by the Neva in autumn. The city lights, they just cut through the grey. I like these old buildings. And cars, they just rush past, leaving these long streaks of light. It’s like time is moving so fast for them, but for me, here, it slows down. You can almost hear the quiet hum of the city, even with the traffic. Just a regular…boddhisattva in # photography • 11 days ago • 1 min readAn autumn stroll in sunbeamsThese walks through the autumn town always bring some special calm.

It feels like just yesterday the greenery was vibrant, and now every bush on the bank has dressed in its brightest gown. I was walking along the river and simply couldn't take my eyes off the sky; it burned so intensely today that even the water caught this fire, turning into liquid gold.

There's just something about it, seeing the world from up here. All the fields down there, they look like a patchwork quilt someone laid out. Then those tiny villages, tucked away. I always wonder what life is like there, down on those little roads. It puts things in perspective, you know.

It's funny, even…boddhisattva in # photography • 18 days ago • 1 min readAutumn stopoverWhat a wonderful afternoon it was. The sun is no longer as scorching as in summer, but it still generously gives its warmth, breaking through the golden foliage of these tall poplars. The wind sometimes tore the last leaves from the branches, and they, swirling, gently lay on the already dense carpet underfoot. We parked a little to the side just…boddhisattva in # photography • 19 days ago • 1 min readAn autumn evening's quiet pathSometimes you just walk wherever your eyes lead, and suddenly you notice this play of light.
