Mandala


The waterfall photo was shot at the Hakone Japanese Garden in Saratoga. A little manipulation and viola! A Mandala!

The text says: According to Jung, the mandala is the ultimate symbol of well-being and wholeness.
The bottom text: The mandala is an ancient pattern that has a specific center, and concentric rings that emanate from the center.

Not all mandalas seem to be based on the belief above. I added a touch of light emanating from the center. The photos shot at the garden on July 7 were previsualized, something I hadn't done in quite awhile. I knew exactly why I took each of them. Previsualization makes working on photos even more exciting than the moment they were taken!
