New photos added to Lotus Flower project on creativeobjective.com

I am now done with this project, at least for the moment. I'm trying to keep my normal projects to fifteen images or less, to avoid overload or monotony.

Go to creativeobjective.com for a look at the new additions!

Creative Objective Website Revamped - Lotus Flower Project Added

I've decided to start fresh with the Creative Objective website, and highlight a single photographic project at a time. The first, posted today, is Lotus Flowers.

The lotus flower signifies purity in Buddhism. Its bright flower rising from the mud, through the water, into the air symbolizes enlightenment. These lotuses (pink, associated with the Buddha himself, and white, associated with spiritual perfection) are tended by the Thai Buddhist monks at Wat Yarnna Rangsee Monastery in Sterling, Virginia, USA. They are an inspiration to me.

The monks were very nice and welcoming to me.
