class=\"wp-caption-text\">A line of Buddhas from the Garden of 1,000 Buddhas, Arlee Montana (click to enlarge)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here is an image I captured at the \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ewambuddhagarden.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Garden of One Thousand Buddhas<\/a>\u00a0in Arlee Montana. \u00a0When driving from Missoula to Glacier National Park, the Garden is half a mile or so off HWY 93. \u00a0As you can see from the Google Earth image below, the Garden is arranged in a series of eight spokes inside a circle. \u00a0Each of these spokes consists of a double row of Buddha statues. \u00a0The circle around the spokes consists of spires which also make for a good image of the repeating subject type.<\/p>\n<p>The image above was taken from the center of the circle looking outwards along one of the spokes. \u00a0The original image has a lot of background clutter that causes the eye to wander aimlessly. \u00a0During processing I painted over\u00a0the background with black to focus the eye on the line of\u00a0repeating Buddhas. \u00a0When looking at the image my eyes want to start at the foreground Buddha on the left, slide down the Buddha line to the far right, and then slide back to the foreground, and then repeat this pattern again and again and again&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This eye movement reminds me of following the ball at a tennis match.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1479\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1479\" style=\"width: 576px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
