C’è un momento in ciascuna alba in cui la luce è come sospesa; un istante magico dove tutto può succedere. La creazione trattiene il suo respiro.
(Douglas Adams)
Nel cuore della Maremma Livornese, la Costa degli Etruschi in Toscana, c'è Rosignano Marittimo.
Sunrise, anything can happen
There is a moment in every sunrise when the light is suspended; a magical moment in which anything can happen. Creation holds its breath.
(Douglas Adams)
In the heart of the Maremma Livornese, the Etruscan Coast in Tuscany, there is Rosignano Marittimo.

Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa (centro di buddhismo tibetano) - Pomaia - Toscana
"" Ci sono solo due giorni all’anno in cui non puoi fare niente: uno si chiama ieri, l’altro si chiama domani, perciò oggi è il giorno giusto per amare, credere, fare e, principalmente, vivere. ""
Tenzin Gyatso - Dalai Lama
Immerso nel verde delle colline toscane, precisamente a Pomaia, frazione del Comune di Santa Luce, in provincia di Pisa, si trova l’Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa, uno dei centri per lo studio e la pratica del buddhismo più importante d’Europa.
La Statua di Cenresig fu inagurata daL Dalai Lama nel Giugno 2014. la statua più alta d’Europa di Cenresig (in tibetano) / Avalokiteshvara (in sanscrito), il Buddha della compassione, di cui si ritiene che i Dalai Lama siano la manifestazione terrena.
Ha una storia molto particolare: fu realizzata dallo scenografo Dante Ferretti per il film di Martin Scorsese “Kundun”; una volta finite le riprese il set fu demolito, ma la statua si è salvata, e dopo aver viaggiato dal Marocco in Italia, è arrivata qui, dove lo scultore Alessio Pazzini e il suo staff l’hanno restaurata per farla aderire ai precisi canoni iconografici buddhisti.
In quest’oasi di pace convivono monaci e laici, per lo più volontari e studenti che seguono corsi di filosofia, psicologia e meditazione, ma è aperto a chiunque voglia trascorrere un periodo, o anche solo qualche ora, lontano dal caos cittadino, circondato dalla natura, respirando aria buona e dove anziché le notifiche dei cellulari si sentono gli uccellini cinguettare.

Lama Tzong Khapa Institute (center of Tibetan Buddhism) - Pomaia - Tuscan - Italy
"" There are only two days a year when you can't do anything: one is called yesterday, the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and, above all, live. ""
Tenzin Gyatso- Dalai Lama
Nestled in the green Tuscan hills, precisely in Pomaia, part of the Municipality of Santa Luce, in the province of Pisa, is the Lama Tzong Khapa Institute, one of the most important centers for the study and practice of Buddhism in Europe.
The Statue of Cenresig was inaugurated by the Dalai Lama in June 2014. The tallest statue in Europe of Cenresig (in Tibetan) / Avalokiteshvara (in Sanskrit), the Buddha of compassion, of which it is believed that the Dalai Lamas are the earthly manifestation .
It has a very special history: it was created by set designer Dante Ferretti for Martin Scorsese's film "Kundun"; once the shooting was finished the set was demolished, but the statue was saved, and after traveling from Morocco to Italy, arrived here, where sculptor Alessio Pazzini and his staff restored it to make it adhere to the precise iconographic canons Buddhists.
In this haven of peace monks and lay people live together, mostly volunteers and students who follow courses in philosophy, psychology and meditation, but it is open to anyone who wants to spend a period, or even just a few hours, away from the chaos of the city, surrounded by the nature, breathing good air and where instead of cell phone notifications birds are heard chirping.
Not the best time of year to visit the Fairy Pools. This reflection was the best light I could get on any of my shots. The majority of the shots including the usual vista were rather flat as everything was in shadows all day.
What speaks most against visiting these pools during that time of year was the way there. I was more lucky than anything else that I didn't end up off the road as others I passed. The passing places were so deep in snow that you just had to push through at speed and hope for the best. Esprecially you had to hope that you encountered other cars only at a passing place when heading up.

If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."
We haven't changed that much in 300,000 years of evolution.

First of all, apologies for not having been around. I’ve been following his example of staring into the distance and striving for a complete state of comatose oblivion. And obviously, this worked rather well for me and him. Even though I recently picked up the camera again, did not really find anything worthwhile to record. My lack of motivation was and is a contributing factor.
Merry Christmas to all of you and having the best of intentions to post some more. Same as last year, I still dislike Christmas songs intensely, so I am using this one as an alternate.

The Green Door - Whitaker
House
I'm back, and is it exciting to be back! Feeling calm, happy and refreshed.
As someone who often overworks herself, if your anything like me, burnout is gonna get you. I've always struggled with my SL/RL balance but recently, for my own mental health, I've had to step away, catch up on some 'me-time' and regain that healthy balance. A little nudge to take breaks, and always do whats best for you. SL will be here when you get back.
What a house to kick off with! The Whitaker House from The Green Door. Its striking presence is a show stopper in any landscape. It would work perfectly as a modern suburban home or out in the countryside for some farmhouse glamour. Its 286 prims which for its huge size is a perfect low prim, large family home. Get it at the mainstore!
Also featuring classic favourites from The Little Branch, Studio Skye and Fantaik

No words can describe how empty I feel inside.
Used for the sake of others future.
Mistreated for the way I am.
Enough it is!
Dont pull yourself back for others cause they arent gonna do anything for you.
Stand up for yourself and let the others fail without you.
Cause at the end... Thats what they deserve.

The other day, on the rather testing climb to the top of Mt Amos, I stopped for a breather and found myself in good company: a cluster of ancient lichen-covered rocks doing exactly the same thing. We sat there in companionable silence, admiring the view they’ve been enjoying for a few million years longer than me.
Mt Amos sits within Freycinet National Park on Tasmania’s east coast, part of the Hazards range of pink-granite peaks overlooking Coles Bay and Wineglass Bay. It’s one of my favourite spots in Australia. Though, to be fair, so is everywhere else I visit!
And when I say, “the other day,” these days that could mean anything from yesterday to about twenty years ago. 😉
Fun Fact: Many mountains are made of granite - which is gneiss of them. Geologists have been known to take them for granite ... but only once. 😉
Happy Hump Day everyone!

" Literature, before anything else, is saying, Be mindful. Stop whatever you're doing & notice. Allow yourself to be seized by this." {Fredrick Buechner}
Ce que j'apprécie par-dessus tout, c'est ce genre de découverte: on ne touche à rien, hormis à son obturateur, puis on laisse errer ses pensées - ses pensées nomades en l'occurrence.
Mais ici je ne peux m'empêcher de penser à toutes ces âmes meurtries laissées pour compte. Et encore une fois, le temps, comme la marée-haute, effacera ces âmes perdues à jamais.
What I appreciate above all is this kind of discovery: you don't touch anything, except your shutter, and then let your thoughts wander - your nomadic thoughts in this case.
But here I can't help but think of all those bruised souls left behind. And once again, time, like high tide, will erase those lost souls forever.

Baby thank you for being you and creating fun and lasting memories with me! I do, I do, I Love you!
Two yummy new items to show you today. First the daring new Blade body suit from GizzA, just the thing for startling the neighbours, and second the gloriously detailed new Gaia skin for the new Lelutka Bento head which is just wonderful. The two make for a beautifully sexy New Year look.

This was more of an experiment than anything. I am only a hobby photographer, my real job is an Engineer for the railroad. The wind was blowing these like crazy and I was seeing if I could freeze the motion and get a somewhat sharp usable image.
As a follow-up to my post of yesterday. the situation in this photo is very similar to that image. A moose cow was bedded down off to the right of this image and this bull was very close by. Only this time I happened to be at a very close distance. This is full frame - no crop. Now a bull moose is rather large, so filling the frame means a good 25 yards or more away, which is considered a safe distance from an animal such as this. However, it was during rut, which means they can be unpredictable. Luckily there was a small creek between us and I was constantly watching him with my escape route already planned. He was not bothered by my presence (and a few other photographers) and if anything he moved closer to the cow which meant closer to me. I kept wishing he would raise his head, but wild animals seldom comply with our subliminal suggestions. Shortly after this shot he bedded down for the day as well.
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!
