Through the seasons
The same land in four moods. Choose a season.
November to February
Cool mornings when fog lies low over the fields and the sun rises like a pale moon through the trees.
Morning sun through the trees on a misty winter day
The sun rising over a misty field
Tall trees standing in the winter mist
A lone tree under a pale winter sun
Branches framing trees in the morning mist
A narrow path disappearing into the mist
Woodland on the grounds wrapped in mist
The low sun glowing through the fog
Golden light through misty trees
Dew-covered cobwebs on a winter morning
The sun burning through thick fog over the field
A misty path between the trees
A palm and trees softened by the fog
The sun like a moon through the morning mist
Fog rolling over the open land
A woodland path on a foggy morning
The retreat gate on a foggy morning
The gate of Anand Vihar in the mist
June to September
Heavy rains turn the whole land green, and streams run past the grounds.
Clear days through the year
Blue skies, long shadows and red earth under the trees.
Sunlight through the trees on the grounds
Treetops against a bright blue sky
A bare tree under a cloudy sky
Long shadows across the grounds
Bare trees against the clouds
Dappled light on the open grounds
Palms and trees under a blue sky
Morning sun through the garden
The wooded grounds on a clear day
Trees and red earth on the grounds
As the light fades
The sky turns deep blue and the cottage windows begin to glow.
