Before the Covid lockdown I joined a Zen meditation class at Hakone Gardens, a beautiful Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. I took this photo at the lower house with a 210° angle fisheye lens. With this lens it is quite challenging to not get your feed, head and tripod into the picture! I thought these barrels were used to store miso in the old times. Later I found out that these were likely used to store 黒酢 (kurozu), black rice vinegar.

 

I processed a realistic and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Dear ANDORE Customer,

 

Today, I’m announcing the official closure of the ANDORE brand.

 

Six years ago, the world of Second Life welcomed a new creative venture — ANDORE. What began as a modest collection of ear & accessories quickly grew into something far greater than I could have ever anticipated. I was genuinely moved by the warmth and enthusiasm with which you embraced my designs. Your support, passion, and love for my creations have meant the world to me.

 

Throughout the years, I have worked tirelessly to bring you joy through fresh ideas and thoughtful design. However, as time went on, the brand became closely — and almost exclusively — associated with ears. While this recognition is an honor, it has also limited the broader creative vision I hold for the future.

As I observed other brands evolve and diversify, it became clear to me that ANDORE is capable of much more. It is more than just one product or a single aesthetic—it holds the potential to grow, expand, and inspire in new ways. And for that to happen, change is necessary.

 

It is time for a transformation.

 

In order to breathe life into something new, we must first let go of the old. For this reason, the ANDORE group will be closed to new members, and the in-world store will be temporarily unavailable. Existing products will be gradually transferred to the Marketplace, and eventually removed from the in-world location.

 

However, this is not a final farewell. ANDORE is simply stepping away to return renewed—reborn with a fresh identity, a new vision, and reimagined ideas.

 

As for the beloved ear accessories—fear not. I am excited to announce the creation of a separate brand: LEX.

 

LEX will carry forward the legacy of ANDORE’s signature ears and jewelry, while expanding into new areas of body customization. The new group for LEX will be available to join free of charge until April 15th, after which a fee will apply. A link to the new group will be included in the post description and shared within the ANDORE group announcements.

 

I wish to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who has supported ANDORE over the years. Your loyalty, creativity, and enthusiasm have been a constant source of inspiration.

Thank you for being part of this journey—and thank you in advance to those who will join me as I continue this next chapter with LEX.

 

With heartfelt appreciation, ArtemZgursky

Creator of ANDORE & LEX

Meet Toby.

 

He joined our household today at 8 weeks 2 days old, and I'm completely and totally in love with the little guy.

 

He is curious, playful, snuggly, and still manages to look solemn and dignified - at least when he wants to.

 

His introduction with Henry was uneventful, and while they still working out the logistics of Big Dog / Little Dog play, they are both obviously interested in making it work.

 

Today, Toby learned the beginnings of "Sit" (nailed it!) "Leave It" (chewing on my hand doesn't make it open but NOT chewing on it does and you get the kibble inside) and "Down" (did I mention he did great with "Sit" and "Leave it"?)

 

I spent most the afternoon focusing on Sit-n-Stare, where Toby gets a piece of his kibble every time I notice him sitting in front of me and staring up and me.

 

He now sits in front of me and stares up at me (and Hubby) a lot!

 

Henry also learned this on the first day, and to this day it's his default behavior - what he does when he doesn't know what else to do.

 

It's a really nice default behavior - much better than jumping at my legs and the cupboard doors, which was our starting point.

 

Today's photoshoot was a chaotic disaster - but Toby had a fun, got his meal of kibble (a few at a time) and (occasionally) showed hints of the star I'm sure he will someday be.

 

Many thanks to Toby's (and Henry's and Zachary's and Beau's) wonderful breeder - Aubridge Goldens - who practiced "Hats" with the litter a few weeks ago!

 

Notes to self:

1. Hungry Puppies make terrible models (stupid me - I knew that!)

2. Big Dogs and Little Dogs (together) makes a challenging situation impossible

3. I need to wrangle Hubby into firing the remote for me for a few days!

Red Square (Russian: Кра́сная пло́щадь, Krásnaya plóshchad’) is the most famous city square in Moscow, and arguably one of the most famous in the world. The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitay-gorod. As major streets of Moscow radiate from here in all directions, being promoted to major highways outside the city, the Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow and of all Russia.

Tyre is a beautiful town on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It is located at the meeting point of three continents and, as such, has been the crossroads of many civilizations whose traces may still be seen today. Tyre was a major Phoenician seaport from about 2000 BC onwards through the Roman period.

Joining the circuit at RAF Lossiemouth are these Swiss Air Force F/A 18C Hornet's . These aircraft are part of an eleven ship detachment which are part of the Fliegerstaffel 18 Panthers Squadron from Payerne Air Base in Switzerland.

Burntisland, a port on the Firth of Forth, and the starting point in 1850 for the world's first train ferry, when the Leviathan started to ply its way across the firth to Granton, on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Other ships joined later, running as train ferries for forty years, until the opening of the Forth Bridge rendered its railway vehicle carrying capability redundant. Non railway ferries certainly were operating from Granton to Burntisland in 1838 and sailed until the opening of the road bridge in 1964, and intermittently then until at least 1993.

The sunflower is native to the Central Americas. The evidence thus far is that it was first domesticated in Mexico, by at least 2600 BC. Many indigenous American peoples used the sunflower as the symbol of their solar deity, including the Aztecs and the Otomi of Mexico and the Incas in South America. Francisco Pizarro was the first European to encounter the sunflower in Tahuantinsuyo, Peru. Gold images of the flower, as well as seeds, were taken back to Spain early in the 16th century. Some researchers argue that the Spaniards tried to suppress cultivation of the sunflower because of its association with solar religion and warfare.

Europe - UK - United Kingdom - England - North West England - Cumbria - Lakes - Lake District National Park - Ullswater - 2nd largest lake in Lake District, cca 9 miles (14.5 kilometres) long & 0.75 miles (1,200 m) wide with a maximum depth of more than 60 metres (197 ft)

 

The Lake District, also known as The Lakes or Lakeland, is a rural area in North West England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous for its lakes and its mountains (or fells), and its associations with the early 19th century poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the Lake Poets. The central and most-visited part of the area is contained in the Lake District National Park - one of fourteen National parks in the United Kingdom. It lies entirely within Cumbria, and is one of England's few mountainous regions. All the land in England higher than three thousand feet above sea level lies within the National Park.

 

Lake District is by far my favorite destination in England. It is very magical place that has such a great potential for landscape photography. However as it is always with landscape photography, you need to be lucky for the weather (especially in UK) and the light. When these two are right Lake District offers great possibilities.

The Zwinger (Der Dresdner Zwinger) is a palace in Dresden and a major landmark of German baroque architecture. The location was formerly part of the Dresden fortress of which the outer wall is conserved. The name derives from the German word Zwinger (outer ward of a concentric castle); it was for the cannons that were placed between the outer wall and the major wall. The Zwinger was not enclosed until the neoclassical building by Gottfried Semper called the Semper wing was built to host the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister art gallery.

 

I looked forward to visit Dresden as it is very lovely place, unfortunately many people know that and therefore it is full of tourist as well as photographers. Zwinger Palace is surely one of the most photographed place and probably was captured from all possible angles. I have spend there over 2 hours late evening trying to come up with my angle. This is one of my favorite shots which I have not seen in anywhere else.

The Roman Forum (Latin: Forum Romanum), sometimes known by its original Latin name, is located between the Palatine hill and the Capitoline hill of the city of Rome. It is the central area around which the ancient Roman civilization developed. Citizens referred to the location as the "Forum Magnum" or just the "Forum". The oldest and most important structures of the ancient city are located in the forum, including its ancient former royal residency the Regia and the surrounding complex of the Vestal virgins.

 

Those columns belong to the Temple of Saturn (Latin: Templum Saturni or Aedes Saturnus). It is a monument to the agricultural deity Saturn that stands at the western end of the Forum Romanum in Rome. It represents the oldest surviving structure in that area, having been established between 501 and 498 BC.

 

The original plan for the blue hour shoot was to walk through the Forum Romanum to the Colosseum and take photos there. Unfortunately the walk way through Forum Romanum was closed (it was opened two years ago when I've been there last time) and we would have to rush all the way around to get there in time. I have seen lights pointing at the Temple of Saturn and was hoping for some nice blue hour shot of the lit forum, however another surprise as revealed that the light has lit only on the further church. I was very disappointed at first, but looking at the shot now, I quite like the atmosphere and the result.

The Katholische Hofkirche (English: The Catholic Church of the Royal Court of Saxony) is a Roman Catholic Cathedral, located in the 'Altstadt' in the heart of Dresden, in Germany. Previously the most important Catholic parish church of the city, it was elevated to cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dresden-Meißen in 1964.

 

The Hofkirche stands as one of Dresden's foremost landmarks. It was built by architect Gaetano Chiaveri from 1738 to 1751. The church was badly damaged during World War II and was restored during the mid-1980s under the East German regime. Today it is the cathedral of the diocese of Dresden-Meißen. It has Silbermann's last and biggest organ.

Europe - Croatia - Hrvatska - Dubrovnik - UNESCO World Heritage Site - Pearl of the Adriatic - Historical Mediterranean city on Adriatic Sea coast in extreme south of Croatia

 

The 'Pearl of the Adriatic', situated on the Dalmatian coast, became an important Mediterranean sea power from the 13th century onwards. Although severely damaged by an earthquake in 1667, Dubrovnik managed to preserve its beautiful Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains.

 

It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations on the Adriatic, a seaport and the centre of Dubrovnik-Neretva county. Dubrovnik joined the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. The prosperity of the city of Dubrovnik has always been based on maritime trade. In the Middle Ages, as the Republic of Ragusa, also known as a Maritime Republic (together with Amalfi, Pisa, Genoa, Venice and other Italian cities), it became the only eastern Adriatic city-state to rival Venice. Supported by its wealth and skilled diplomacy, the city achieved a high level of development, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries. Although demilitarised in the 1970s with the intent of forever protecting it from war devastation, in 1991, after the breakup of Yugoslavia, it was besieged by Serb-Montenegrin forces for 7 months and received significant damage from being shelled.

 

Croatia has so many wonderful locations to explore, if you want to check some of them, these Croatian timelapses capture treasures Croatia has to offer :

Diesel locomotive 2TE116-1078 of BaltTransService (BTS) hauls the oil tanks train at the join of "Ghost Road" -- old railway line, that connected the Kozmodem'yansk station at main line of Northern Railway and Tenino station of Rybinsk direction bypassing Yaroslavl.

 

Probably, this road wasn't built completely: on old maps it is shown as "building" or as "disassembled". And now I stand on a mound, overgrown with grass, that stretches to the right of me for about 20+ kilometers.

  

Тепловоз 2ТЭ116-1078 компании БалтТрансСервис (БТС) ведет наливной состав около соединения с дорогой-призраком -- старой железнодорожной веткой, соединявшей станцию Козьмодемьянск на главном ходу Северной железной дороги со станцией Тенино на Рыбинском направлении в обход Ярославля.

 

Скорее всего, эта дорога не была полностью достроена: на старых картах она нарисована то как строящаяся, то как разобранная. А я стою на поросшей травой насыпи, которая тянется направо от меня на 20 с лишним километров.

The majestic Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque is probably the most imposing religious and national landmark in Abu Dhabi to date. It is also arguably one of the most important architectural treasures of the contemporary UAE society - and one of the most beautiful in the world - initiated no less by the late president HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who is fondly thought of as the father of UAE.

 

The Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque, popularly called Grand Mosque by local residents, is seen as a “globally unifying” landmark from its conception to completion, bringing together designers, features, materials and suppliers from nearly every corner of the globe: Italy, Germany, Morocco, India, Turkey, Iran, China, Greece and the UAE.

 

The Mosque’s initial architectural design was Moroccan, but it evolved to include many global features, including exterior walls that are of traditional Turkish design. Natural materials were chosen for its design and construction, which include marble, stone, gold, semi-precious stones, crystals and ceramics.

 

Slightly different view at Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque in Abu Dhabi than the one with desert foreground I posted few days ago. It is truly amazing place to visit and to take photos of. I have to admit that I have actually asked those two ladies to model for me to nicely balance the composition and also add more atmosphere to the shot. All ladies have to wear abaya and head cover when visiting this mosque, luckily you can borrow one at the mosque itself.

The mosque is the oldest in the Capital of Tunisia and covers an area of 5,000 square metres (1.2 acres) with nine entrances. It has 160 authentic columns brought originally from the ruins of the old city of Carthage. The mosque is known to host one of the first and greatest universities in the history of Islam

Many indigenous American peoples used the sunflower as the symbol of their solar deity, including the Aztecs and the Otomi of Mexico and the Incas in South America. Francisco Pizarro was the first European to encounter the sunflower in Tahuantinsuyo, Peru. Gold images of the flower, as well as seeds, were taken back to Spain early in the 16th century. Some researchers argue that the Spaniards tried to suppress cultivation of the sunflower because of its association with solar religion and warfare.
