1995 Solar Eclipse January 14, 2001 I couldn't get a good shot of last week's lunar eclipse, so here's the solar eclipse of October 24, 1995. After years of standing in the rain in the US midwest waiting for eclipses, it was a singular treat to finally see one. It was amazing just how quickly, in the absence of sunlight, the air turned cool and a cold breeze began to blow. The neighborhood roosters also went nuts, crowing off and on for a couple of hours. |

Typical Buddha Shop January 8, 2001 Need a Buddha image or other religious supplies? This is the place to go. A few Buddhas sit on the sidewalk. Some multi-tiered umbrellas (to place over a Buddha image) are hanging in the background. The orange buckets on the left are filled with food and necessities to be given to monks to make merit. For instance, if someone has monks come to their house to bless it or preside over some ceremony, they would buy a bucket to give to each monk. |
