Lens-Artists Challenge #263: East Meets West or for my post North Meets South
A bit of South Korea and Australia are in my post. One piece of music I studied in school was a piece called West meets East. The performers, the best in their field at that time (1967) American violinist Yehudi Menuhin and Indian sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar. I hope you enjoy the music
In the morning everyone meets for prayer


We all have fun at a parade


There is always something to light up the night when the parade is over


I didn’t realise you’d been to South Korea too. I think images from there will feature in my post – when I get round to it. Lucky you, to catch a parade!

We were there when the Buddha Festival was on accidentally. It coincided with the way back home and a few days in Seoul

Oh well done, nice post. You had me checking, because I always thought of Menuhin as British…but see he was American born, which I didn’t know!

I’ve lost the music, Brian. It was so nice to sit back and absorb that beautiful piece.

Love it, Brian!! The prayer is a beautiful way to start. Fun to see the parade. Beautiful lights of the last one. The differences are there, but you show the joyfulness sharing by people. Love it!!
I almost miss this post! I didn’t see the link on my post.

An interesting contrast in culture for the music, and it flowed SO well. Beautiful isn’t it? And I loved the lanterns.

Glad you had a listen. The whole piece is about 1hr. Good to listen to while you do other things. I have music playing a lot of the time while I am in my office or kitchen 🙂
As it was a festival, there were LOTS of lanterns:)

Perfect, Brian! And I remember Ravi Shankar – virtuosity. A colourful parade is never wrong – well done.
