Field Trip

My 3D class met at the Crow Asian Art Museum to watch Tibet monks make a sand madala. It is very interesting. They started this on Monday and will be finished tomorrow. When it is finished, they will bless the sand and dismantle it. They give some of the sand to the members of the audience and then the rest goes into a flowing body of water, so that the blessed sand will bless any thing it touches. Afterwards, I got a couple shots of the great view downtown,
