Buddha Shaped Rock
 

You all have learned about this Buddha from Athena Carey as she introduced this place with a brilliant, mystic and beautiful photo in her. What makes me post one of my photos of this Buddha rock is a coincidence. Some days ago, we have been on a ski tour from Sustenpass to the rocky summit of “Fünffingerstöck” (five-finger-rocks). As we reached the last terrain step and entered a small plateau, I was quite surprised: I stood face-to-face to the Buddha rock!

This gave me the opportunity to make some close shots. As these recent close shots are just of documentation quality, I decided to post a photo I made last winter instead which might be a little more compelling. If you’re interested in the close view photos anyway, you can find them here:

    Wow Wilfried Haferland you were right there with him? How splendid. It reminds me a bit of my experience of finding him completely by surprise. It is a good feeling! And thank you so much for mentioning my photo – so very kind of you my dear friend. 🙂

    Athena Carey – Yes, it was a very interesting moment… I felt quite privileged. And the surprising moments seem to be connected with him. Thank you very much, Athena!

    +Wilfried Haferland God is trying to draw you nearer to him 🙂 From a Budda to Him. Budda is materialistic, such as a rock. God made rocks. Look up. There God is 🙂
