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](./upload/2020/08/19/20200819155120-7548ebb2.jpg "The Shape of the Buddha (328 visits) "The Great Stupa of Dharmakaya Which Liberates Upon Seeing" is made to represent the shape...")
The Shape of the Buddha
