I get stuff from the Samye Ling landing on the Facebook page and as I was clicking through some photies, I found this one. Just had to put it somewhere since it's probably my favourite place in my favourite place.
If you walk through the Samye Ling and get down to the river, there's a path that goes up to your left. It's probably not a hundred yards before the path runs out beside the wee water fall. In the summer, just below this there's usually a this wee island. If the river is low, there's sometimes some big stones you can jump over to get to the island. For most of the winter it'll be submerged.
If you get onto this wee island and sit facing the far bank, you can hear the birds and the river and the wind in the trees, but little else. I used to try sitting there for most of the afternoon. I'll be down that way when I'm at the Samye Ling in October, but then you have to sit on the stones at the edge, depending on how full the river is.
This photie did spark a little joy when I saw it yesterday!
