At the Shinto shrine Suitengū (水天宮). If you just translate the name it would mean water-sky-shrine, which doesn't make that much sense. But what does is if you take into account that Suiten is a name: the Japanese name of the Hindu god Varuna. Several Hindu gods and goddess came to Japan through Buddhism. With the 19th century official splitting of Buddhism and Shinto in Japan, Suiten was identified with the Japanese kami Amenominakanushi, and thus the worship of Suiten became a part of Shinto religion.
The shrine was founded by a daimyō of the Arima family in 1818 (in another spot, but when the family moved to Tokyo, the shrine came with them). The current shrine dates to 2016 - so the building was just 2 years old when I visited here in 2018. But the chief priest of the shrine is still a member of the Arima family (it's actually the 17th family head).
The shrine is dedicated to conception and safe childbirth, which makes it very popular (as can be seen by this lunch time rush). And it is very, very easy to find. You just have to get to the Suitengumae station ('mae' means 'in front of' - so the name of the station is literally 'in front of the Suiten shrine').

So recently I found a roleplay place called "The Varuna Project" and I happen to really like it, very pretty place and community isn't bad! This picture was originally for a Photo Contest they had but really liked it, so thought why not to share it with you? The hair itself is one of my favorite things from DURA recently. The different styles the fatpacks come with are very nice too. =)
That is a warm day in November in central Taiwan. The sun began to shine on the riverbed, and this beauty stopped in front of me, sunbathing with its open wings and showing its gorgeous blue color.
Rapala varuna is a common butterfly in Taiwan, and most of the time I see them perch with their wings closed, only displaying the brown undersides.
It is one of the hairstreaks with "false head" in their hindwings for deceiving the predators. Two heads are always better than one ...

Shot taken on an early morning boat ride on the Ganges in Varanasi, India.A sublime experience.
Varanasi, Banaras or Kashi is a city on the Ganges river in the north-Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.It is one of the world's oldest continually inhabited cities.
Kashi, its ancient name, was associated with a kingdom of the same name of 2500 years ago.Recent excavations at Aktha and Ramnagar. two sites in the vicinity of the city, unearthed artifacts dating back to 1800 BCE. The Lion Capital of Emperor Asoka at nearby Sarnath has been interpreted to be a commemoration of the Buddha's first sermon there in the 5th century BCE. The celebrated Chinese traveller Hiuen Tsiang visited the city around 635 CE.
Traditional Etymology links Varanasi to the names of the two Ganges tributaries forming the borders of the old city - The Varuna and the Assi.The latter is now barely a stream.
Varanasi is one of the holiest cities of Hinduism. It has a central place in the traditions of pilgrimage, death and mourning in the Hindu world.In the 8th century AD, the Hindu saint Adi Sankara established the worship of Shiva as an official sect of Varanasi.The Kashi Vishwanath Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is one of the most revered temples of Hinduism.
Varanasi is the birthplace or is in some way associated with some of the most prominent Indians from the world of Philosophy, Religion, Literature and music.The Shehnai maestro Ustad Bismillah Khan and the Sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar were both born here.
The city is also a center of silkweaving, carpet weaving,metal handicrafts and other crafts.It is famous for the Banarasi Sarees ,silk sarees with exquisite gold and silver weaving,which are often worn at Indian weddings and other special occassions.

Sarnath is a city located 13 kilometres north-east of Varanasi near the confluence of the Ganges and the Varuna rivers in Uttar Pradesh, India. The deer park in Sarnath is where Gautama Buddha first taught the Dharma, and where the Buddhist Sangha came into existence through the enlightenment of Kondanna. Singhpur, a village approximately one kilometre away from the site, was the birthplace of Shreyansanath, the Eleventh Tirthankara of Jainism, and a temple dedicated to him, is an important pilgrimage site.

In 1876 Mr. R.D. Hume of Astoria, Oregon, decided to move his commercial salmon fishing, processing and shipping business to the mouth of the Rogue River. Mr. Hume anticipated huge profits due to the large run of "King" Salmon which entered the mouth of this river on their anual spawning migration.
The long and unique history of the Mary D. Hume starte on a rough and windy day in Gold Beach when Mr. Hume's small steamer "VARUNA" sank on the Rogue River bar in 1880. Mr. Hume salvaged the steam engine and began immediate plans to replace his lost freighter. Mr. Hume first located a 141 foot tall White Cedar tree 13 miles upriver on the north shore Rogue River shoreline. The tree was cut and floated downstream to what is now the Port of Gold Beach, within two hundred feet of where you are currently standing. This tree became the keel for the new vessel. White Cedar roots were cut for their natural curve to shape the ribs and Myrtlewood dowels were used to join ribs to keel. A severe flood January of 1881 almost destroyed the vessel during final construction. January, 21, 1881 the new vessel Mary Duncan Hume was launched. (named in honor of Mr. Hume's wife) This day was the start of her 97 years of active commercial sea service. This is the longest active sea service for any commercial vessel on the Pacific Coast. Also unique in maritime history is the fact the Mary D. Hume has retained her original name of registry from 1881 to present.
The Mary D. Hume served her first ten years as a coastal freighter hauling wool, canned salmon and other goods from the Oregon Coast to San Francisco. 1890 was the peak of the Artic whaling industry and small steam sailing vessels were selling at premium prices. On December 5, 1889 the Pacific Whaling Co. purchased the Mary D. Hume for $25,000 and the Mary D. Hume started her career as a Artic Whaling vessel. The Mary D. Hume soon departed for the Bearing Sea and a 10 year career that made her famous in Arctic Whaling history.
The Mary D. Hume recorded the largest catch of whale Baleen, valued at $400,000 after a 29 month voyage. She then made Artic Whaling history with the longest recorded whaling voyage of six years. During her long Artic voyage numerous sailors died from scurvy, cold and lunacy caused by privation. Their bodies were stored frozen in ice until the spring thaw allowed burial on nearby Herschel Island. Her last whaling voyage was recorded in 1889 and on her return trip she was caught in a horrible storm which tore whaling boats from the decks and washed two sailors overboard to their deaths in the frigid sea. The Mary D. was then retired to towing service on the Nushagak river in Alaska.
May 20, 1909 The American Tug Boat company purchased the Mary D. Hume and she was fitted as an ocean tugboat. 1914 she was refitted with 10 Halibut Dories for a brief career in the Alaska halibut industry. This Halibut voyage lost money and the Mary D. Hume soon returned to ocean towboat duty. She served proudly as a Tugboat under numerous owners for 60 years Her final retirement was the summer of 1978, she sailed under her own power, into the Port of Gold Beach and her final resting place within a few hundred feet of her birthplace.
August 1, 1979 The Mary D. Hume was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Built in Gold Beach in 1881 The Mary D. Hume is:
Length: 97.6 feet long
Tonnage: 158 tons
Width: 22.8 feet wide
Depth: 10 feet deep

#Sarnath is a place located 10 kilometers northeast of #Varanasi near the confluence of the Ganges and the #Varuna rivers in #UttarPradesh, India. The Deer Park in Sarnath is where #GautamaBuddha first taught the #Dhamma, and where the Buddhist Sangha came into existence through the enlightenment of #Kondanna
Also referred to as #Isipatana, this city is mentioned by the Buddha as one of the four places of #pilgrimage his devout followers should visit. It was also the site of the Buddha's #Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, which was his first sermon after attaining enlightenment, in which he explained the four noble truths and the teachings associated with them.
