I did some more diddling on the tree and made its structure less regular, since the extremely regular structure in the previous version looks more like a manmade structure such as a shelter, and does not really look like a tree. But I still wanted to provide the poor meditating Buddhastein with an "umbrella" against the weather though.

I love the symbolism in this too. :) 3 times? That's really a BIG compliment! Then again, I just striped through Wallace and Gromit on my to-do list :) If you don't mind I'll leave the explanation of the "symbolism" to the viewer. :) >(which faith are yin-yangs from anyway? Taoism?) Yep. So this is some sort of religious "fantasy" pic. :) I'm not an expert in these matters, though... Taoism... Buddhism...

No, yin-yangs come from the faith of the 'steins.
The yangsteins are those people who love the 'steins.
The yinsteins are those people who don't love the 'steins.
Hope this helps.
