  • A Buddhist man on silent retreat in a private cabin at the Rivendell Buddhist Retreat Centre, East Sussex, England. As the last light from a summer's day fades into night, the cabin (a converted garden shed), the practicing Buddhist stands against the internal lamp light, pausing to think and contemplate about his life and its meaning. Long grass from a private meadow is for the sole use of someone in retreat, a period of a few days or perhaps a week, separated from the pressures of modern life. Rivendell was once a Victorian country rectory for the local vicar in this East Sussex village, it now houses facilities for the spiritual and the peaceful, having escaped for a brief time, the pressures of modern life. Beyond are two Buddhas on a tapestry and as a statue. The community web address is www.rivendellretreatcentre.com.

  • Usually played in pairs for morning and evenings calls to prayer, preludes, and processions, two western nuns following Tibetan-Buddhism play their Rag-Dung (brass trumpets) in a garden at the Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery and Tibetan Centre in Eskdalemuir, Scotland. One nun looks across to check finger positions of her fellow-player and they are sat cross-legged on the lush grass surrounded with flowers and tall plants. The Rag-Dung is the most spectacular of Tibetan ritual copper horns and some are up to twenty feet long. With a deeply resonant sound it is relatively easy to play. Those following this branch of Buddhism arrive in the Scottish wilderness for isolated Retreat periods, for short-term spiritual relaxation or to follow Tibetan teaching methods for discovering inner-peace, through prayer and meditation.

  • A man stands on his own on a grassy bank to cut a lonely figure in long grass on an embankment near the tall Canary Wharf tower structure a mile away in the background at Dockland's area of East London. Above the grassy bank at Mudchute, a city farm on London's Isle of Dogs, England, the sky is threatening with gathering clouds but lights still picks out the man against the darkening skyline. He stands with arms folded looking thoughtfully at the ground as if depressed or considering his isolation in the world. It is a seemingly rural location but is, in fact, an area of inner-city London, close to major construction projects, transforming Docklands into a major centre for finance and new housing.

  • The Buddha seen as part of a shrine in the prayer room of Kagyu Samye Ling Buddhist retreat centre in Eskdalemuir, Scotland. A Buddhist shrine provides a focal point for Buddhists when they are meditating, practising puja (worship) and for gatherings of Buddhists studying together. Shrines can vary from a small, simple shrine in the home or garden of a Buddhist, through to the large, ornate shrines or temples found across the globe. At the Samye Ling monastery, most visitors are westerners in this peaceful location for spiritual cleansing and often to find answers to their complicated, modern lives. And many here have had a troubled youth and are sometimes escaping a criminal past, who arrive in the Scottish wilderness for isolated retreat periods, for short-term spiritual relaxation.

  • 1,890 meters (6,200 feet) above sea level and surrounded by lush tea plantations in Sri Lanka's Hill Country district of Nuwara Eliya, women tea pickers bend over trees to harvest Ceylon tea leaves that are taken to the white building on the left for processing. A carpet of velvety green tea bushes stretch into the far distance. This is the heart of the island's tea industry but was a pleasure retreat of the European planters due to its temperate English climate that produces the finest leaves for the country's economy. Teas from this highest region are described as the champagne of Ceylon teas. The leaf is gathered all year round but the finest teas are made from that plucked in January and February. The best teas of the area give a rich, golden, excellent quality liquor that is smooth, bright, and delicately perfumed.

  • Sitting cross-legged on the floor, Michelle Dean is a young follower of Tibetan-Buddhism and chants her Puja, or prayer in the privacy of her own home, a bed sit in Edinburgh, Scotland. Having studied her Buddhism at the Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery and Tibetan Centre in Eskdalemuir, Michelle now lives within the larger society rather than the more closed but free community of Samye Ling where many people disaffected with western life or whom have experienced troubled times and sometimes escaping a criminal past, arrive in the Scottish wilderness for isolated retreats and self-purification, short-term spiritual relaxation or to follow Tibetan teaching methods for discovering inner-peace, through prayer and meditation.

  • The landscape painter Leo Mancini-Hresko constructs a view on canvass of the Ponte Santa Trinita in Florence. Born in Boston, Leo currently teaches painting and drawing, both privately in his studio in Piazzale Donatello and for The Florence Academy of Art. Ponte Santa Trinita was constructed by the Florentine architect Bartolomeo Ammanati from 1567 to 1569. Its site, downstream of the equally remarkable Ponte Vecchio,[2] is a major link in the medieval street plan of Florence, which has been bridged at this site since the thirteenth century. The bridge was destroyed in 1944 by retreating German troops but reconstructed in 1958 with original stones raised from the Arno or taken from the same quarry, under the direction of the architect Riccardo Gizdulich and the engineer Emilio Brizzi.
