Years ago, I had a concept I called "walking meditation'
and shortly afterwards, first heard of the concept of that name by this teacher.
The concept I had was that one can be in that meditative state while on one's feet, going about one's day and activities: keeping just a part of one's mindfulness on the Big Picture, while dealing with all the personal bits and details.
Partly I needed this because I have a hard time sitting myself down and meditating in a traditional quiet pose. And partly it was in the service of mindfulness as a constant rather than occasional thing.
Is this concept similar?

OTA. I am so glad you enjoyed the pictures.
I am not sure if the kites have any special significance. Thank you for appreciating them.

TAPS. Thank you
Often I am shy of taking people pictures, as I feel its an intrusion - especially those I don't know or where there is no known relationship or class differences or heirarchies. But, I do like photographing people, in on-posed situaitons. Cheers.

Great pictures, Greenfields. I really loved looking at the various people, facial expressions, and garments. It made me realize that I seldom take pictures of persons. I seem to focus on nature more than anything.
