This is a rose that's not quite beautiful but has a faded elegance.
The weather this year has not suited our roses. The flowers open and fall faster than usual and many of the buds don't open at all.
Melancholy times !
Inspired, always , by the magnificent Venice carnival.
This celebration lasts for several weeks in February and March, ending with Martedi Grasso, or Mardi Gras, which marks the beginning of Lent. The festival supposedly began in 1162, in celebration of Venice’s victory over Aquileia. However, mask-wearing in the Venetian lagoon could go back as far as the 9th century.
In a city with such a rigid social system, Carnival fever conferred many cherished freedoms. The most important was anonymity. For some weeks of the year, anyone could be who they wanted to be, whether it was a peasant mixing with aristocrats at their masked balls.
At its decadent height during the 18th century, Carnival would begin the first Sunday in October, taking over just about half the year. The Catholic Church eventually had to forbid Carnivalesque celebrations on holy days, meaning that there was a lot of celebration going on, even on holy days. The comedies, masquerades and gambling houses would draw all kinds of international visitors to the city.
Unfortunately, all this came to an end when the Serenissima Republic fell to Napoleon in 1797. It was an era in which many old ways of life were coming to an end and modernity arrived in Venice in its own way. The Carnival was banned and all the celebrations and rituals associated with it were shut down. Venice was independent no more.
The Carnival wouldn’t be brought back until 1979 after two centuries of war and tumult, when the government began to redevelop the modern Carnival by bringing back the traditional events. Carnival season now floods the streets with tourists and mask shops have popped up all over the city, revitalizing the craft. It’s a postmodern version of the pre-modern festival.

Combustible
We met,
I was rather fragile,
The stars were bogged down,
In the shape of our eyes,
I was well worn,
Fabulous lies,
And you took me from the depths of the hollows,
But I warned you
Lies hide,
Deep in my heart
Who moved in me,
But free-spirited,
Secretly,
I took that my double finally does not free itself ...

I'm a big fan of Japanese culture. Before Covid I had a vacation scheduled to go visit. Kyoto, former capital of Japan, the base of Mount Fuji with its tea plantations and vibrant nature. In Tokyo the lively Harajuku district, the street fashion, and above all the Gibli Studios Museum. You could say that this image of mine is a tribute to her Chihiro and her adventures.

"I feel restless, spirited, adventurous.
To be absolutely truthful,
I hope to go on living as I am living,
sensually.
I have erotic imaginings.
I do not want solitude,
introspection,
work.
I want pleasure."
-Anaïs Nin

" Maple Tunnel: Follow the maple filled water path, come closer, just walk on straight ahead, discover where it will lead. Do not stop now, keep walking, allow your feet and soul to unite as one. Sweet whispers of the maple leaves brush against your ears, 'Stay awhile, stop and listen to the stillness of the water...remember the last time you smiled? What made you smile? Tell us! TELL US!' Most visitors seem to take a long time to exit the maple tunnel, it is a mystery of what kind of spirit guards it."
Kintsugi was a beautiful sim, the perfect place to rest your mind and soul.
I wrote a post about it on my destinations blog. You can find it here: mutisslworld.blogspot.com/2021/01/d008-kintsugi-spirited-...

Another day, another storm on the march. Another moment where I am caught between two masses. The more I visit places like this, the more in tune I feel with the land and the environment. It's not easy to explain the sort of irresistible compulsion that draws me here virtually every evening. It's strangely comfortable emotionally, even at times when I"m apprehensive or even frightened by the circumstances. I'm continually probing into the desolation under increasing darkness. It's definitely a case of pushing the boundaries. Storms really play into the intensity, both physical and emotional. Photographically this has morphed into a form of scrying for lack of a better term. At times like this, the camera is a sort of gazing ball, an extension of my mind more than anything else. I seldom even look at what I am shooting and mostly just point the camera in the direction where I sense the most energy. I'm not sure I'm even fully in control of the process. It seems as if turning off the analytical part of my mind allows some other force to fill in the void. This photo exemplifies that thinking (or lack thereof). It is a vision not merely of the effect of wind, rather of how it might feel to be the wind itself, flowing out over the the corn rows, answering to no-one. It's perfect in its imperfection.
