The Hidden Language of theRoses
The Rose blooms are delicious creatures ! Not just because they are fragrant. Not just because they have magical colours and forms. Not just because the moment you stare at them, you are transferred to other , better worlds. Not just because they have an aura with divine energy around them!
But also, because, the moment you are found in the middle of your blooming garden, the Roses with their blooming blooms, captivate SO much your strong attention, that you… forget to… eat when you are hungry, you forget your tasks of the day, you forget your appointments, your calls!! The only thing you want, is to go very close to them and “see” them with all your being and your senses!! To capture their Divine Beauty, because you know it is ephemeral, like all physical things…In order to have them by your side when the winter approaches, with its loooong dark, cold days, while themselves have already started hibernating until your new rendezvous in the coming Spring…
❤️You can admire here the magnificent Rose bloom of a David Austin Rose : Grace !! Her blooms’ form and apricot color harmony, are especially attractive and original!
The Great Blasket Island is one of the remotest parts of the Irish Language Speaking area of Corca Dhuibhne. Although deserted since 1953 it is famous for the abundance of literature produced by the Irish speaking inhabitants who will live on forever through the documentation by them of the extraordinary details of their ordinary lives

Language Of Love
I’m old fashioned and romantic
Like the films in black and white
all the lovers were enchanting
can you and I be old-fashioned tonight?
I wanna get lost in the music
and feel tipsy from the wine
speak of love, I won’t refuse it
I want a love like in another place and time
Dance with me
Oh, so close
and the music will speak the language of love
*Drumknott*
Just imagine me in white satin
like a 1930’s star
if we play the part, lovely things can happen
we can be old fashion being who we are
Dance with me
Oh, so close
and the music will speak the language of love
I wanna let the rhythm take us
I wanna know what it can make us feel
so let the moment hypnotize us
fantasy is a tiny step from real
Dvigrad (Twin-town), Docastei in Istriot language, is an abandoned medieval town in central Istria, Croatia. It is located in the Draga valley. The history of the settlement is prehistoric; it remained inhabited until the 18th century.
The region was settled by the Illyrians in prehistoric times. In 1345, Dvigrad was sacked by the Genoese admiral Paganin Doria during conflicts between Genoa and Venice. The Venetians sacked the town in 1383, but did not take rule of it until 1413, when a nobleman from Koper was put in governance. In the 16th century, plague and malaria depopulated much of the town. In the year 1615 it was besieged again, by Uskoks, and while it escaped capture it was abandoned save for a few poor residents within 15 years. Only three families remained by 1650. In 1714, the last residents left the town to ruin.

The Dakar Rally Monument, built of salt to represent the passage of the Dakar Rally through the Salar de Uyuni.
There are infinite shadings of light and shadows and colors... it's an extraordinarily subtle language. Figuring out how to speak that language is a lifetime job.
Conrad Hall
And I know you're out there in the shadows... series
___________
Dear fellow traveler under the moon
I saw you standing in the shadows and your eyes were blue
You put your hand out, opened the door
You said, "Come with me, boy, I want to show you something more"
You spoke my language and touched my limbs
It wasn't difficult to pull me from myself again
And in our travels, we found our roads
You held it like a mirror, showing me the life I chose
And now we turn to my beautiful city
Black skies changed into blue
And my love is so wise and so pretty
But tonight I still dream of you
Dear fellow traveler under the moon
I think I'm growing weary and I'm hoping you'll come soon
And if I see you in clean new clothes
I hope you hold the mirror up to show me what I chose
And I returned to my beautiful city
Black skies change into blue
And though my love is so wise and so pretty
Some nights I'll still dream of you
And I'll return to my beautiful city
Black skies change into blue
And though my love is so wise and so pretty
Some nights I'll still dream of you, you
And I know you're out there in the shadows
I know you're out there in the shadows
I know you're out there in the shadows
Dear fellow traveler underneath the moon
Dear fellow traveler underneath the moon
Dear fellow traveler underneath the moon
Dear fellow traveler underneath the moon
(Dear Fellow Traveller, Sea Wolf, 2012)
Locate I
love you some-
where in
teeth and
eyes, bite
it but
take care not
to hurt, you
want so
much so
little. Words
say everything.
I
love you
again,
then what
is emptiness
for. To
fill, fill.
I heard words
and words full
of holes
aching. Speech
is a mouth.
Floriography... the language of flowers. This Hydrangea stands for boastfulness... reaching to the rooftops at a time when other flowers are finishing for the season.

The image shows an installation at Maxxi musum in Rome, composed of two distinct works of Rosa Barba in dialogue:
"They Are Taking All My Letters" (2025): The wall-mounted kinetic sculpture features 34 vertical strips of 70mm film moving across a backlit panel.
"Language Infinity Sphere" (2018): The sphere in the foreground is crafted from thousands of original lead types (movable type letters) mounted on steel.
Together, these pieces explore the relationship between language, time, and material media, transforming obsolete tools like film and lead type into contemporary art.
I made another similar one, for the Event (check previous post)
just wanted to share this too :)

If we play the part, lovely things can happen
We can be old fashion being who we are
Dance with me
Oh, so close
Dance with me
Oh, so close (Dance with me)
I wanna let the rhythm take us
I wanna know what it can make us feel (Oh, so close)
So let the moment hypnotize us

Alert, fear, anxiety, intimidation, defensiveness and in heightened state. This communication method is known as "piloerection." Same thing when dog's hair is pointing straight up to intimidate another one or ready to fight. This was the Black-crowned Night Heron's reaction to a mink running its way and then behind the branch (see other picture).

I promise it's the little things that you do, that make me wanna give it all to you
Hope your Valentine's Day is filled with lots of self-love!
In the Royal Palace of Madrid, some street lamps ("farolas" in Spanish language) with symbolic decoration have been restored.
Here you can see one of them, in the Plaza de la Armería, where you can see several crowns, a fleur-de-lis and some pine cones.
The fleur-de-lis is a symbol that takes us back to ancient times with the mythical King Solomon and the no less mythical Queen of Sheba.
It is considered a symbol of royalty, found on the coats of arms of several royal dynasties, such as the Bourbon dynasty, which continues to rule in Spain and others.
The fleur-de-lis is part of the coat of arms of several cities, such as Paris, Darmstadt, Elda, Lincoln (UK) or Wiesbaden.
In some cases it is also considered a religious symbol, representing the Virgin Mary and the religious military order of Santiago. And it is part of the coats of arms of the families of several Popes.
It is also considered an alchemical and Masonic symbol.
It even appears in some mafia (mob) organizations: it was adopted by the Hachel Mafia, known as the Virgin Escribana, as an emblem in the 17th century.
In Germany, more specifically in the municipality of Hachelbich, their meetings were held.
Any person not affiliated with the Hachel Mafia who tried to stop them from achieving their goals ended up brutally murdered.
Their victims were recognized by a brand made with a hot iron with the symbol of the fleur-de-lis. (Source: Wikipedia)
UNA FAROLA REAL, 2024
En el Palacio Real de Madrid se han restaurado varias farolas con decoración simbólica.
Aquí se puede ver una de ellas, en plena Plaza de la Armería en la que se pueden ver varias coronas, una flor de lis y algunas piñas.
La flor de lis es un símbolo que nos lleva a tiempos ancestrales con el mítico rey Salomón y la no menos mítica reina de Saba.
Se considera un símbolo de realeza, que se encuentra en los escudos de varias dinastías reales, como la dinastía borbónica, que sigue gobernando en España y otras.
La flor de lis forma parte del escudo de varias ciudades, como París, Darmstadt, Elda, Lincoln (UK) or Wiesbaden.
En algunos casos también se considera un símbolo religioso, que representa a la Virgen María y a la orden religioso militar de Santiago. Y forma parte de los escudos de las familias de varios Papas.
También se considera un símbolo alquímico y masónico.
Incluso aparece en algunas organizaciones mafiosas: fue adoptado por la Mafia Hachel, conocida como la Virgen Escribana, como emblema en el siglo XVII.
En Alemania, más específicamente en el municipio de Hachelbich, se realizaban sus reuniones.
Cualquier persona ajena a la Mafia Hachel que intentase detener el cumplimiento de sus objetivos terminaba brutalmente asesinada.
Sus víctimas eran reconocidas mediante una marca hecha con hierro candente con el símbolo de la flor de lis. (Fuente: Wikipedia)
🌸
Some mornings begin quietly… the kind where the light slips gently through the tall pines and settles across my vanity mirror like a soft invitation. Those are the mornings when I slow down and let beauty unfold deliberately — layer by layer, ritual by ritual.
Cosmetics have always been the secret language of fashion. Long before couture houses ruled the runway, women defined their presence through the art of the face — the kohl-lined eyes of ancient Egypt, the porcelain complexions of the Victorian salons, and the bold crimson lips of Hollywood’s golden age. Makeup has always been more than decoration. It is expression.
💄 My ritual begins with Braham Fashion’s 067 “Make Up EvoX.”
The eyes are always the first canvas.
Soft gradients of shadow settle across the lids, sculpting depth and quiet drama. Lashes darken and lengthen, framing the gaze with a velvety softness that feels both elegant and alluring. The EvoX cosmetics arrive in beautifully crafted separate options — allowing me to define each detail individually, from the delicate shaping of the liner to the nuanced layering of shadows.
Then come the lips.
A precise liner traces their natural contour before color fills the form. Sometimes I choose a subtle satin finish, other times something deeper and more daring. The EvoX set allows each component to stand on its own — liner, lip tone, and finish — so the final result feels tailored rather than predetermined.
✨ And then… the eyes themselves awaken.
I slip into the luminous realism of the Lory Eyes by Frida, designed for Lelutka heads. Their detail is extraordinary — irises rich with depth, reflections that catch light naturally, and delicate shading that makes every glance feel alive.
The set includes ten beautifully crafted colors, allowing my gaze to transform effortlessly:
• crystalline blues
• soft natural greys
• warm hazels
• forest greens
• deep ambers
Each shade carries its own personality. Paired with the EvoX cosmetics, the eyes become mesmerizing — defined lashes, softly blended shadows, and a gaze that seems to speak before a single word is said.
Only once the face is complete do I reach for the final adornment.
🌷 The Floral Earrings by SkindustrialBodyWorks.
They bloom delicately beside my cheeks like tiny sculpted gardens — petals layered in elegant metallic forms that catch the light whenever I move. Their design feels both modern and timeless, as though nature itself had been translated into jewelry.
✨ The included HUD turns them into a bouquet of possibilities.
With a simple selection, the petals shift through an array of colors and metallic finishes — luminous golds, polished silvers, romantic rose tones, and vibrant floral hues. Each variation allows the earrings to harmonize perfectly with my cosmetics and the mood I wish to create.
And suddenly, everything comes together.
The Lory Eyes by Frida bring life to my gaze.
The EvoX cosmetics by Braham Fashion sculpt expression and emotion.
And the Floral Earrings by Skindustrial BodyWorks bloom beside my face like the final flourish of elegance.
It is a quiet composition of beauty — where cosmetics, jewelry, and mood move together in perfect harmony.
✨ Discover these pieces at the Swank Wild Spring Event:

Because sometimes the most captivating beauty is not loud at all… it is simply composed with care.

So, here is my contribution.
Thank you for the chance, and I can say I learned three things: first, shadows always were and still are damn hard to do in SL, second, I should have chosen a different image, and last, my av is the reincarnation of George Michael :P
Is mathematics the language of the universe?
I find it neat that many plants (haha, but not all!) follow a mathematical rule called the "Golden Ratio" when they grow. Using this ratio (and a numbering sequence attributed to Fibonacci but known in India for hundreds of years before), each petal is able to get the maximum amount of sunlight it possibly can. Next time you see a sunflower, take a close look - its growth pattern can be described using mathematics!
Mount Kailash itself is known in the Tibetan language as Gang Ti-se and informally as Gang Rinpoche ("Precious Snow Mountain"), to the Bon as Yungdrung Gutsek ("Nine stacked Svastikas"). Though only 6714 m high, it stands quite alone like a great white sentinel guarding the main routes into Tibet from India and Nepal in the south and west.
Traditionally a pilgrim undertakes the 52-km trekking cirquit or circumambulation (khorlam) around Mount Kailash commencing at Darchen (4575 m) and crossing the 5630 m Dolma La pass on the second day of the three-day walk. This is followed by a trek of the same duration around the beautiful turquiose Lake Manasarovar known in the Tibetan language as Mapham Yutso མ་ཕམ་གཡུ་མཚོ།
