I discovered this lovely sim by chance and I did my best to capture it's calm and serene feel that this image gave me.
We could all use a little more of this in our lives. 😊💕
Here is your TP to the beautiiful sim, Pelinor ~ Borgo Incanto

Today I discovered this SIM through "Destinations" (editor's picks). The landing spot was more city like, but happily I could fly around and found a more nature like setting on the east side.
I also got a little more adventurous today and tried more artistic tools in Photoshop ... (feeling like a bit of an artist now) LoL
More photos to follow ; )

** More roof top’s this time though its a small village in Provence that sits in the Alpilles mountains
Les Baux-de-Provence is a settlement in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in Provence . The village is considered one of the most beautiful in France .It is located in the Alpilles mountains, atop a rocky outcrop that is crowned with a ruined castle overlooking the plains to the south. Its name refers to its site: in Provençal, bauç is a rocky spur. From the village name the word bauxite was coined for aluminium ore when first discovered there by geologist Pierre Berthier in 1821.
Although it is not high the Alpilles range stands out impressively, as it rises abruptly from the Rhône valley and from the very flat alluvial plain of Crau. The range is about 25 km long by about 8 to 10 km wide, running in an east-west direction between the Rhône and Durance rivers. The landscape of the Alpilles is one of arid limestone peaks separated by dry valleys.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
Everything is this compact town is so perfect – the Market Square, the Cathedral, the numerous parks all look as if they were crafted by artists of note, which they were!
The city is very well preserved and clean to boot. It is almost like a stage set, nay, make that a movie set, perhaps a Disney flick?
Every window has lace curtains and flower boxes with geraniums, all the buildings are in good repair, and the architecture is infinitely interesting. Low-country designs of the Middle Ages were a matter of pride; every detail down to the outline of a window frame is beautifully proportioned.
In the heart of the downtown, motor vehicles are prohibited, except for deliveries during restricted hours, making it one of the easiest walking cities of the world, safe and well-signed. The winding cobbled streets, adjacent to the canals, are shared by pedestrians and the occasional horse-drawn carriage. Sweepers follow the horses and keep the streets litter free.
Restaurants serve authentic Belgian cooking, a strong rival to French cuisine, as well as numerous international style dishes. Fresh fish, cooked a thousand different ways, is plentiful, as are beautiful homegrown vegetables. Of course, this country is famous for its chocolate, a worthy choice for dessert. My own personal favorite Belgian meal is carpes frites plus pommes frites, which would be called ‘fish and chips’ anywhere else, but is in fact a perfect delicacy here in Bruges.
The Pantheon
is a former Roman temple, now a Catholic church (Basilica di Santa Maria ad Martyres or Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs), in Rome, Italy, on the site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD).
It was completed by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated about 126 AD.

Green Canyon
is a real paradise in a nature reserve, located in the Taurus Mountains.
It stretches for 14 kilometers and is part of a huge reservoir, formed as a result of the construction of the dam of the hydroelectric power station “Oimapinar” and impressive with its beauty.
Discovery is in our DNA - all you need to do is discover it.
View large and, as always, thanks for looking!

It sifts from leaden sieves
It sifts from leaden sieves,
It powders all the wood,
It fills with alabaster wool
The wrinkles of the road.
It makes an even face
Of mountain and of plain, —
Unbroken forehead from the east
Unto the east again.
It reaches to the fence,
It wraps it, rail by rail,
Till it is lost in fleeces;
It flings a crystal veil.....
An extract of a poem made by Emely Dickinson
I discovered these remnants on the last steps to the dock, noting two or three more on the lake bottom, and then another two on the bank. Something had discovered and devoured an entire clutch of duck eggs. I have a nesting box by the shore near the dock and have seen ducks (mainly hooded mergansers) regularly inspect it, but the only birds I ever knew to use it were a pair of house swallows and that only once. Unbeknownst to me, it was apparently in use this year as these remains surrounded the site. A mystery as to what feasted on these eggs as there are numerous suspects.
The place columnar igneous rock formations was discovered by tourists very few years ago.
The river has been the one with the most erosion powers in Iceland due to sand and rocks it has been moving from the origin north Vatnajökull glacier. Now the glacier melting water with the erosion powers has been taken away from the canyons below Kárahnjúkar Dam and most of the summer the river is almost clear water, and very much less water as well.
Then this place became much more ovious and more accessible.
These formations are to be found other places as well but these are amongst the largest and most complicated I know. The columnar are so high, they bend in ways I can mot imagine how the cooling powers have been working. One only get speechless and wonders, wonders, wonders
