As the silence and prayer were observed in the meadow, I took a series of shots of people milling around and doing their thing. I watched as the circle started to form and started to get ready to head that way. |
As I watched, the circle got closer to Peace Hill. |
It wasn't long before the circle had made it up the hill, and I only had to stroll a few feet from my tent. |
As it got closer, I watched as the gaps started filling in around the meadow. |
Closer and closer... |
With the circle fully formed around the meadow there was still a large crowd around the Tibetan flag pole. As the Om started I noticed gaps in several places on the southwestern side of the meadow. The Om wasn't very strong in the area I was in, I only heard a few voices here and there joining with mine. It seemed that it was over quickly, and everybody was headed back to the center of the meadow. |
It wasn't long before the mounties showed up to join in the fun. Actually, they didn't seem to be having that much fun just sitting on their horses in a line. |
Someone stopped by the dome for a while. |
These brothers appeared suddenly from the woods. |
The green plane flew over several times on the 4th, unlike its usual early morning wake up buzz. |
We were soon joined on the hill by several uniforms, guys with bullet proof vests, lots of guns, binoculars, cameras, the finest our tax money can pay for. |
The mounties got tired of sitting in a line and started parading around through the various camps. |
I met this unusual person on the main trail. |
After a while the mounties split up and stopped to chat with folks. |
Colorful |
Here's a link to the map in a large enough format to read the names of the camps. |
Supper Circle on the 4th was small and concentrated. From the hill it appeared to be heart shaped. |
