Spiritual time out at Saint Andrew's Cathedral

  
You don't have to be a Christian to appreciate sun shining through stained glass windows. You could be a Matthew, Mark, Luke, John or Yoko. This is your chance to look at the sun through a beautiful and vibrant lens. If this depicted a giant Buddha and an emaciated figure under a Bodhi tree, I would feel just as uplifted.

Picture taken at Saint Andrew's Cathedral in Honolulu. During lunch on a work day. The church organist performed a few songs, too! What a great 30-minute break from the office and the world.

Fake miniature food - "Raw fish and squid over rice - to go, please..."

 

Here's the plastic version of a prepared takeout meal at a Japanese supermarket. Pop open the cover for maguro (tuna), salmon, scallops, shrimps and ika (squid) over rice. The sticker price shows 980 yen, which is about $11 at the current exchange rate.

The fake set comes with a bottle of shoyu.
