I'd post some of the photos, but the site makes it so I can't unfortunately (even with my usual workarounds).

 

Here's a few...

You will have to go to the weblink that bka posted to see the captions. :)

Actually I think I mixed in a few newer ones in there as well...

Some really nice photos.

Hmnn, lots of Pope's in the pictures. Didn't realize so many Catholic Taoists in the olde days ;).

Great photos fascinating and a bit eerie for some reason. A conversation starter question I read once , was "which historical figures would you like to converse with" I'd like to talk with these guys a while.I figure the way they look at things would really be a world apart.

I speak for myself here, (but most likely for you too, Ms. Magick Bagua) -- sometime in the near future, during ritual, we will transport to some of those places- and meet some of those people.

Once the mind sees it, it's only a matter of time :)
