Not sure why it took me so long to send out these photos. Maybe because I've reached the level of "言语道断，心行处灭." Here is the translation from ChatGPT - not perfect, but gets to the main point.

The phrase "言语道断，心行处灭" comes from the Chinese language and is typically translated as "Words end, thoughts cease."

The phrase emphasizes the importance of silence and stillness in achieving inner peace and clarity. It suggests that excessive talking and thinking can lead to confusion, and that by letting go of words and thoughts, one can reach a state of tranquility and stillness.

In a literal translation, "言语道断" means "words end," while "心行处灭" means "thoughts cease at the point of action." Together, the phrase suggests that when one stops talking and thinking and takes action, the mind can reach a state of stillness and clarity.

Tennis 2023

First tennis session of 2023. 7am under 35F. Drove through the familiar roads, everything was still in "winter hibernation." Trees without leaves, grasses still yellow… But the little birds started singing - they're always the first ones to bring Spring to the world. The tennis court looked lonely, but seemed ready to embrace the new season...

Shooting the Unpredictable...

Standing at one of the most dangerous beaches in the world. The danger is from the seemingly calm looking waters coupled with sudden, fast, high waves. Many lives have been sucked into the ocean at this spot…

清明 2023

清明了，春伴故人！

风雨人生路，

你陪我一程，

我念你一生。

往后余生，

见与不见，

你都在我心中…

The Ice Caves

Vatnajökull is the largest and most voluminous ice cap in Iceland and the second largest in Europe, after the Severny Island ice cap of Novaya Zemlya. It is in the southeast of Iceland, covering approximately 8% of the country.
