Mysterious Landscapes

A Tenger Sky.

The Tenger are great spirits which control the forces of Nature. I often look to them for inspiration as I work in the orchard.

"Rather than seeing the world as inanimate, the traditional Mongolian point of view holds that it is vibrantly alive with spirits and souls in every thing and in every place, and that all animals and plants have sentient souls much like our own." *

Each and every human being has a close relationship with our world and the responsibility to act in a way that promotes balance. The obtaining of sustenance from Nature then is not accomplished by "using resources" but by receiving with reverence.

To my Steemit explorer friends,

I have probably taken over a million photographs of the natural world since childhood; this is a daily series of some of those I most treasure.

Where They are From

1. Many are from an organic orchard that I created on the hill above my home. When you are raising trees from saplings you are out in all weather at all hours and see remarkable things.

2. Some are from my art studio and my efforts there- especially those on behalf of the Tibetan people.

3. Still others are from my wanderings in the wilderness with compass and map my companions. Many are featured from posts I have created here on Steemit and I will link to those whenever possible if you wish to read more of the how, when and where.

Please upvote if you liked this post, and follow for more journeys through our mysterious and amazing world. And please comment as I greatly value these and will answer any questions you may have (and generally go to look at your posts of course since I consider a group of friends the most valuable possible outcome from efforts on Steemit.

*This photo was taken with the Canon EOS 70D with an 18-55mm lens
