Home / Shambhala Mountain 40

- Bird House
This tree is a home to a variety of birds in the area. - Marpa Point
A beautiful rock formation that is above the Shambhala Mountain Center and the Great Stupa. - The Valley of the Great Stupa
Another view of the Great Stupa that shows off the beauty of the surrounding land. - Patches of Aspens
The Aspens show off their vibrant yellow and golden leaves for the Great Stupa. - River of Aspens
Aspens have a single root system and branch out in all directions. - Rock Demon
When I saw this gargoyle-like face protruding from the rocks I was glad I had stopped at the Kami Shine first. - Timid Mule Deer
Living around Buddhist mule deer are used to the occasional wandering human. - The Wheel of Life
This is what I was photographing when I heard the mule deer rustling a few yards from me. - Sunbathing Rocks
Another beautiful rock formation. - Crop Circles?
I found these unusual, but I suspect they are more likely made by mule deer droppings than intergalactic Buddhists. - Intertwined Lovers
I found these Aspens huddled together on shady slope as I climbed the mountain path. - Autumn Beauty
Most of the trees on the mountain are green year round. The Aspens are the only ones who feel the need to be different. - Juniper Grove
I stopped in this grove of junipers for a while and soaked up the sweet odors and peace of the isolated spot. - Nestled Stupa
The Great Stupa is nestled at the base of the mountain. - The Shape of the Buddha
"The Great Stupa of Dharmakaya Which Liberates Upon Seeing" is made to represent the shape of Buddha.
