Buddhist Prayer Wheels - Nepal
Taking Prayer Wheels for a Spin
This was a bit of a test on the day of HF20, to see when and if this would actually post.
It didn't.
But since my share of the reward pool is now only 0.0001% I'm going to post it anyway. Having taken a break I have no earnings coming in for a few days which will be a bit of a challenge.
It's an old post resurrected which no-one much saw on my early days on Steemit.
It seemed pretty appropriate though since, on that day, many people were praying that Steemit would come back soon. 😂
And now it's back, may people are praying that their voting power will come back soon and that someone will explain what on earth all this means! 😂

One of the things I really loved about Nepal was how many opportunities there were for peaceful moments even in, what often seemed, like chaos.
Even in the busy cities you can find calm within yourself by meditatively walking along a row of prayer wheels such as these and offering up a prayer/thanks as you gently spin them.
Beautiful aren't they? 😊

Thank you to @juliank and @photocontests for the daily photography contest even though it no longer seems to be running. 😂
yes they are very beautiful. I'm glad you were finally able to post your photograph.
Thank you @lightningjohn. 😊
I wonder on what's written in those wheels.
When you know the difference between the voting power and mana Gillian...please share to me, i surely have no clue.
How did you know it's no longer running? You don't like steepshot.io?
Me too @immarojas. It would be lovely to know wouldn't it?
I have no clue about voting power or mana either. I am just managing my VP by keeping an eye on it at Steemworld as I've always done.
I'm not sure what you are referring to here.
I'm not keen on Steepshot because it takes me soooooo long to do anything on my phone and I often end up losing what I've written before I post it. I find it very frustrating.
Also, I often want to post more than one photograph and like to edit them too. 😊
I meant Julian's contest😊🤣
Steepshot allows multiple pics now Gillian...is editing not allowed?
Ah. I see @immarojas. There used to be a post everyday anmouncing the winners and there hasn't been one for months.
I didn't know that. But it still won't make up for my poor phone skills. Maybe I'll practice a bit in Krakow. Although I think I've removed the app from my pone now. 😂
Oh @redrica can give you a hand. Am getting the hang of it now.
Everyday to nothing in a month was not induced by HF20 then Gillian. @sallybeth23 started a contest a while back. Have to check if there's another one☺
Nice photo!
All I know is that a lot of people I used to engage with on the platform have disappeared. Many have been gone for months. The HF20 doesn't seem to have rekindled interest, or at least not yet.
I agree @fotosdenada, many people disappeared months ago and more seem to have left and not come back yet following HF20.
Maybe it won't pick up again unless Steem picks up. We shall see. 😊
You’ve gone so many places I want to someday go. Nepal is definitely one.

You'd love Nepal @indigoocean. Definitely makes plans to go. 😁
Love that shot, very nice!
Thank you @keithboone. I like it too and thought it worthy of another chance! 😁
I bet it would be very cool to visit and explore Nepal!
Well I certainly found it to be so @jeffjagoe. Thanks for stopping by. 😊
The hardfork was bumpy, but all is back to normal for me, and I'm not feeling forked anymore. I think it is going to be a good thing for all of us.
I'm not sure @melinda010100 but time will tell of course. Things seem to be back to normal to me too although I've not done too much so far. 😊
Check out https://beempy.com/ You can see it all laid out as to how much you can post. I suspect you have nothing to worry about.
Thanks for the link @melinda010100. As you say it looks like I'll be OK. I don't envy anyone starting a new account or with low Steem Power though. It will be a tough call for them I think.
Really beautiful
Thank you @empress-eremmy. 😊
That is so cool. Great post Gillian
Thank you @sunscape. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
