I am grateful and very happy to announce that I have been selected to be part of THE DICKENS PROJECT OPEN ART SHOW, amongst many wonderful artists.
The opening will take part on Sunday, Dec. 22, 11am SLT.
Caledonia Skytower will be the DJ for the occasion.
Dress-code: (Victorian Attire Suggested)
Hope to see you there.
The picture was
taken at the Dickens project sim.
I would like to take the opportunity to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas. I am GRATEFUL to all of you for your constant uplifting support and huge encouragement that you have given me. I so much appreciate you all.
As you all probably have noticed, I haven't been very active here on Flickr the past year and even less the past 6 months, and I haven't shared many Pictures in 2024.
My focus has been more or less in my RL. I have take up doing pictures in RL when ever I am out hiking or just walking.
Some of those pictures I have even shared with you here on Flickr, I have wanted to give you all some glimpse of my RL.
It has been a very hard year for me in RL, but also a very exciting and fulfilling year for me personally, in so many ways, but please, no worries, everything is alright with me, and things are looking brighter, and definitely going the way I want it to.
I can't wait to start the new year and I hope that I will find back to the inspiration of doing SL pictures as well as be more active on Flickr and hopefully I will be sharing more SL pictures in the new year.
I will most probably reopen all of my Flickr groups in the beginning of January 2025 as well, I am looking forward to that.
Thank you so much to each and every one of you for all your positive feedback on my work trough out the years and this past year as well. I am grateful.
Merry Christmas, and I wish you all a very happy New Year.
May 2025 be a wonderful year.
💖Especially with everything going on in the world these days, please take good care of your self as well as one another, we know nothing about what others are going trough, so therefor always be kind as well as thoughtful towards others. 💖
💖 Huge, huge hugs, light, peace and love to you all 💖.
Best regards
Lori 💖

My first self-made tattoo^^
I admit it doesn't look perfect but it doesn't matter, I'm proud of it!
I paid attention to the symbols because that's the important thing.
Star, feather, butterfly, crescent, lotus flower and infinity, all symbols for positive dreams, worked into a dreamcatcher.
I will not give up on my dreams, no matter what happens
When I begun to process this exposure bracketing, I thought that I knew what I wanted to attain. I was perfectly wrong. Indeed, these RAW files kept a few secret bits of beauty which I was not aware of when I selected them for processing – and they changed the course of the journey I had foreordained.
I was in a gloomy mood, for both personal and general concerns, and the RAWs looked rather duller than the average – taken: they appeared to accurately mirror the state of my soul. At worst, I would have wasted some hours of pointless procesing work before deciding to look for something better. Nobody would have known. However things were to contradict my expectations. I got some good news (a rarity in those tough days) about the health conditions of my brother and my “adopted brother-in-law” (i.e. my brother’s brother-in-law); on the other hand, Darktable – that wonderful software – gifted me with a few unanticipated treasures. My thoughts were growing more and more positive and the processing of this bracketing were proceeding accordingly: a hidden beauty was unfolding before me, my own persisting unawareness of it notwithstanding. At last I found myself with a picture that had apparently self-processed itself*, while I was busy exploring uncharted thoughts that kept emerging along the way
* Admittedly a bizarre phenomenon, which Maurits Cornelius Escher would have loved – think of his Drawing hands.
I would avoid to nag you about this incredibly wonderful location: you can take a look at my album Silent banks, the complete collection of the photos I have taken there; the attached narratives are rich in information about the place, if you are curious enough.
This location is especially renowned for its legendary morning mists, but only a thin layer of milky mist floated above the water that morning. On top of the hill in the distance, beyond the river, lays the sanctuary of the Madonna della Rocca ( = Madonna of the Rock), already brushed by the first light pouring from the Eastern horizon.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then, as usual, I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a possible final contribution to the processing. While this technique (which, its imposing name notwithstanding, is pretty simple to implement) often holds interesting results in full daylight landscapes, its effects on a low-light capture (e.g. a sunrise) are utterly unpredictable, so at the end of my workflow I often give it a try to ascertain its possibilities. In this picture I have exploited this technique in a very frugal, yet effective, way – just some touches where needed.
RAW files has been processed with Darktable. Denoising with DFine 2 and the Gimp (denoised and original images blended by lightness).
Live long and prosper!

I had to face the "Zombie Apocalypse" and go shopping. Went into the two empty shops, missed the queues and paid a lot more for the stuff. It was worth it.

I've been home from work for two weeks now, and I have joined the ranks of people that no longer know what day it is. I'm OK with that! For 4 + years I have worked every weekend... and now.... every day is a weekend!
I have started several projects, finished none. Today I decided to start cleaning the basement. Bad decision. I've been opening boxes and seeing stuff that I haven't seen for years... some I'm looking at and wondering why the heck I bothered to put it in a box and save it in the first place... and then there is the really cool stuff that I haven't seen in years... that I end up taking out and playing with. Yeah... it's not going well... it's not going well at all. But tomorrow is another day... and it's a "weekend"!
And it seemed that many others weren't either.
I felt particularly sorry for the bikers.
Committed to Kodak Tmax 100 using a Rolleicord Va. Developed using Ars-Imago R9 (rodinal) 1:49, dev. time as per the massive dev chart, and scanned with an Epson V850 using Silverfast. Positive conversion and contrast done with Negative Lab Pro. Dust cleaning and final contrast in Photoshop.
The Last Time I Saw Paris and Notre-Dame was in my youth and armed with a film camera. Wonderful news that this classic piece of History has been fully restored to its former glory - vive Notre-Dame.
Scanned from my 35mm film archive - colour slide -
Image now has verticals straightened and a little detail brought out in the shadows. It's amazing just what detail was captured in those old slides on Kodak Ektachrome colour positive film.
