By the Dawn's Early Light

In his book "Buddha mind Buddha body" Thich Nhat Hanh describes how to walk as the Buddha did. Walking becomes a form of active meditation, in which the walker  becomes mindful of the process of walking, and clears the mind. This process can also be used in other activities. Athletes can experience a form of total concentration while engaged in their sport that much resembles Zen. Photography for me can become almost "Zen" at times. I become so involved with the process and the subject(s) I am photographing I loose touch with everything else. This can be very relaxing. One such moment was before sunrise the other morning. The early morning light on Al Faw Palace was enchanting.
