Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #276 Looking Up, Looking Down

“Sometimes changing your perspective is all it takes to see the light.” – Dan Brown

James of Jazzibee is the guest host this week. His challenge is to our view of the world from a different perspective by Looking Up and Looking Down. The first was taken looking up at the colorful rigging on a nearby commercial shrimp boat.

Looking up at the upper half of the stupa at the Brahmavihara-Arama Buddhist Monastery in Bali, Indonesia. Tibetan style eyes surround the top symbolizing Buddha’s wisdom seeing all things in al four directions.

“Look, up at the sky. There is a light, a beauty up there, that no shadow can touch.: – J.R.R. Tolkien

Beauiful evening sky in southern Maine.

Looking at the top of the CN tower in Toronto, Canada. It stands 1,815 feet (553 metres).

Looking down at a tour boat full of passengers as they enjoy a wild, wet ride through the Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada. The U.S. is seen on the other side.

Looking way down at the green on the 11th hole tee box at Sugarloaf Golf Course, Carrabassett, Maine. The beautiful Bigelow Mountain Range is in the background.
