He does get just a tad political - Mao got a mention.
I'll continue to collect examples of 'Father Nature' when the objects

I was smacked for taking pix with the 5D and 70-200mm. The security
person told me that 'they' didn't mind crappy little compacts but
what I had was capable of taking a 'good' photo and that's not
acceptable. How quaint. There was a suggestion that it might have an
impact on the sale of 'Dalai Lama Merchandise' outside. Ye gods!
There's a certain contradiction there. I was inclined to discuss the
zen of photography but the security person, while very polite, was
not a buddhist.
These aren't great but they are at least proof of life...
