Lamayuru Monastery celebration
This is what we experienced, unexpectedly, at Lamayuru: a celebration to welcome a very high-ranking monk visiting the monastery. I was so dumbstruck I couldn't even take photos, but I found these online taken by someone who was also there, Raum Feur

Christopher Columbus bumps into the already inhabited Americas,
totally by accident, on his way to India, after other explorers had already discovered America, let's say Leif Erikson or Henry Sinclair and The Westford Knight, (remember the mid-1400's corn carvings in Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland) yet we still celebrate Bumbling Columbus 500+ years later?

This painting fascinated me for years after I first saw it in the National Gallery in Washington. It made me think that maybe Dali was sane after all. You have to see it for yourself to appreciate the beauty of it, and especially the beauty of the lustrous satin robes.
