Venice

The Venetian Lagoon is the enclosed bay of the Adriatic Sea in which the city of Venice is situated. Its name in the Venetian language, Laguna Veneta – cognate of Latin lacus, "lake" – has provided the international name for an enclosed, shallow embayment of salt water, a lagoon.

The Venetian Lagoon stretches from the River Sile in the north to the Brenta in the south, with a surface area of around 550 square kilometres (210 sq mi). It is around 8% land, including Venice itself and many smaller islands. About 11% is permanently covered by open water, or canal, as the network of dredged channels are called, while around 80% consists of mud flats, tidal shallows and salt marshes. The lagoon is the largest wetland in the Mediterranean Basin. [Wiki]

Zen and the Art of Photography

Wayne Rowe California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.

Driven by a passion for photography and a fascination with the

Zen Buddhist philosophy,

the author conceptually and experientially examines the relationship between

Zen Buddhism and the art of photography.

Among the subjects discussed:

What is the relationship between haiku and photography?

What is the relationship between the mind of the photographer

while creating a photograph and the Zen concept of the Empty Mind?

What role does intuition and feeling play in photography?

In Zen?

Through examination of these concepts and relationships,

the author explains the heightened awareness, joy, and enlightenment he has experienced through photography and suggests ways that others may share in the creative process.
