Behind the Digital LensMusings of an Amateur Photographer

15th Jul, 2012 An Angel to Pray

In June I had the chance to visit a church that had this wonderful meditation area behind it.  Well, actually, it was two meditation areas, one with a pond and the other with a little stream and waterfall.  I had taken my camera with me just in case I saw some neat cloud formations because we had several storms in the area.  I was hoping for a rainbow, but that never materialized.

I first went to the side with the stream which was covered over with trees and had a nice pathway with several stone

The pond area also had a nice pathway with stone benches, but the focus – and there was actually two – was the stone cross and the water fountain.  Before crossing over the road to meditate on that side, I stood on the bridge and took some photos of the water fountain because it was very breezy that evening and the wind was producing a spray off the fountain.  I got a number of really nice “spray” photos, but I got one that I really liked.  I guess it would depend on your perspective, but I think the image in the spray looks like an angel praying. 

I hope to get back there someday, maybe in late Fall, and get some more photos.  This place is very calming, relaxing.  I am glad I was told about this area because I hadn’t known it was there.
