So this is where i worked on for the past 3years (on and of). Approximately 3000 hours and 250.000 parts later I present to you with great pride and incredible detail; Venice 1486 as it might have looked in the 15th century.
This is the first chapter of a total of 4, in which I'll take you into an adventure of Darion as a Master Assassin.
Let me know what you think 🙏
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Osservare" in the English tongue better known as Observing. By far the most boring thing about finding your mark, but absolutely necessary.
Meet 'Darion Aiulf da Fortebraccio' and his eyes and ears in the sky 'Gaita' an Italian barn owl. Darion is a Venetian nobleman, and to others unknown also a Master Assassin and former member of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins.
Abandoned by his brothers and mentor for disobedience. He now is a solitary assassin that seeks his targets through the signs of god. For his next mark, faith steered Darion in the direction of the Templar order. Who now have a foothold on Venice city grounds and even managed to get the newly elected doge 'Marco Barbarigo' on their side. Marco openly expressed his support for the Templar Order...
And so this is where our story begins!
Where other men blindly follow the truth, Remember, nothing is true.
Where other men are limited by morality or law, Remember, everything is permitted.
We work in the dark to serve the light.
We are assassins!

This build is next level awesome!
Not to sound crude or anything but when I saw this in-world, it made my dick hard in its splendid magnificence! I really do have a symmetry fetish.
I have seen many a build in my days in SL, but at the very least the castle portion, has really set a new bar for the sim developers & creators here in SL!
Bravo to The Shadows Gala team!
The shoot so super easy I used the Sims SE. The frame rate in ultra was superb at 20FPS and near 70FPS in low graphics. I got this with just 2 raw captures!
I did not do too much in post edit other than bump up vibrance a bit to make the gold pop a tad more. I did a couple versions with my post edit bag tricks but in the end I kept pretty pure to the SL raw frame.
I want to thank Nekonuko Nakamor for finding this sim in her "wanderings"!
I think I will be hanging out here for the next week, I am sure I can work a few more frames here! Seriously get your ass down there!
Peace Out ☮️

And if I say to you tomorrow
"Take my hand, child, come with me
It's to a castle I will take you
Where what's to be, they say will be."
Catch the wind
See us spin
Sail away
Leave today
Way up high in the sky
But the wind won't blow
You really shouldn't go
It only goes to show
That you will be mine
By taking our time
And if you say to me tomorrow
Oh what fun it all would be
Then what's to stop us, pretty baby
But what is and what should never be
Catch the wind
See us spin
Sail away
Leave today
Way up high
In the sky
But the wind won't blow
You really shouldn't go
It only goes to show
That you will be mine
By taking our time
So if you wake up with the sunrise
And all your dreams are still as new
And happiness is what you need so bad
Girl, the answer lies with you
Catch the wind
See us spin
Sail away
Leave today
Way up high
In the sky
But the wind won't blow
You really shouldn't go
It only goes to show
That you will be mine
By taking our time
Oh the wind won't blow
And we really shouldn't go
And it only goes to show
Catch the wind
We're gonna see it spin
We're gonna sail
Leave today
Do do do, bop bop a do-oh. My my my my my my yeah
Everybody I know seems to know me well
But they're never going to know that I move like hell
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. Oh Lord
Baby baby babe. Huh? Oh I love ya
Do no no no no no no. C'mon now
I want you now

*Working Towards a Better World
To love our neighbor as ourselves is such a truth for regulating human society, that by that alone one might determine all the cases in social morality. - John Locke
When one neighbor helps another, we strengthen our communities. - Jennifer Pahlka
A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love. - Max Muller
A monk helps a woman preform penance. This was taken at Angkor Wat in Cambodia, on a sweltering day, so being doused with water would not be the worst thing in the world. Angkor is, perhaps, the most extraordinary ancient site in all of Asia (there are more pictures of it to come), but it is also overwhelmed by tourists. We had just come from the grandest of the temples, Angkor Wat itself, and had bought fresh green coconuts to get re-hydrated. Behind the souvenir and snack stalls was this small local temple, where village life was going on unaffected by, and unknown to, the millions of foreigners all around it.
I like this image because of the story implicit in it. There is a power and gender and cultural dynamic at play that is challenging to the viewer. I like the water splashing off the steps, and I find intriguing the woman standing in the shadows. To me she personifies judgement, the need to maintain the status quo by making sure her own rigid morality is maintained.

Remember to use your gut, and your instincts in todays world. News is no longer absence of malice, information is used as a tool to control. People don't consider morality as a given, nor truth as a must.
☂️👀☂️[Calder Delirium, SLEA 9 ]☂️👀☂️
On more than one occasion I have attempted a capture at the completely immersive experience that is SLEA projects.
It is really difficult to catch that frame that embodies such a wonderful build.
A few weeks ago I took the chairlift with the 2 creators of this awesomeness, Lalie Sorbet & Chrix and promised an image.
I really took that deep dive in, and the floor is full of raws captures until my crazy ass OCD mind found his happy place.
I present my Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again

🎶[Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again (Bob Dylan)] 🎶
🎶[Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again (Grateful Dead Live!)] 🎶
Well, the ragman draws circles, up and down the block
I'd ask him what's the matter, but I know that he don't talk
And the ladies treat me kindly, and they furnish me with tape
But deep inside my heart, I, I know I can't escape
Oh, mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again
Shakespeare, he's in the alley
With his pointed shoes and bell
Speaking with some French girl, who says she knows me well
And me, I'd send a message, to find out if she's talked
But the post office has been stolen, and the mailbox is locked
But oh, mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again
Now, Mona, she tried to warn me, stay away from the railroad line
She says all the railroad men
Drink up your blood like wine
And I said, "Oh, I didn't know that"
But then again there's only one I've met
He just smoked my eyelids, and he punched my cigarette
Whoa, mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again
Grandpa died last week, and they buried him in the rocks
Everyone still talks about how badly they are shocked
But me, I expected it to happen, I knew he'd lost control
When he built a fire on Main Street, and he shot it full of holes
Oh, mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again
Now the Senator, he came down here, showing everyone his gun
Handing out free tickets to the wedding of his son
And me, I nearly got busted, and wouldn't it be my luck
To get caught without a ticket and be discovered beneath a truck
Oh, mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again
Now the preacher looks so baffled
When I asked him why he dressed
With twenty pounds of headlines stapled to his chest
And he cursed me when I proved it to him
Then I said, "You see, not even you can hide
You see, you're just like me, and I hope you're satisfied"
Oh, mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again
Now the rainman gave me two cures, then he said jump right in
The first was Texas medicine, the second was just railroad gin
And like a fool I mixed them, and it strangled up my mind
Now people just get uglier, and I've got no sense of time
Oh, mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again
Now, when Ruthie says come see her in her honky-tonk lagoon
Where I can watch her waltz for free, 'neath her Panamanian moon
And I said, "Ah, come on now, you know about my debutante
And she says, "Your debutante knows just what you need
But I know what you want"
Oh, mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again
Now the bricks, they lay on Grand Street where the neon madmen climb
They all fall there so perfectly, it all seems so well timed
And here I sit so patiently, waiting to find out what price
You have to pay to get out of
Going through all of these things twice
Oh, mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again
Oh, mama, can this really be the end

"Dear one, don't you like
your darling ? Kindly speak
Think of our yesterdays,
Eskimo kisses and impish plays
Our moments together
Was truely sweet all through
O ! I recall those days of joy
Why you stay aloof, growing shy ?
Hey ! Why is this change
In your looks, you seem to range,
All your thoughts in a strange,
I think, mysterious trench."
"No mystery dude ! my mind
is not of an enigmatic kind
You have known me well enough
from long past, a poor stuff.
Leave me now, don't try to capture
With your flirty words anymore
As you did with me before
In your usual ways of cajolery.
Though weak and fragile
As you men describe all agile,
Smart and trustworthy female,
No more wish I to partake in your sail.
I know men, young and old
Are all alike, of one mould;
Equally conceited and bold
In their ways to gain and hold.
To lure poor women
With their fake affection
And fabulous description
of their beauty, a subversion.
Above all, man's judgement
Propaganda and comment
About women as fragile and weak
As born dependent and meek.
Who can stand their orgy
And tread that path craggy
As he transcends often and on
Barriers of morality known
O! insidiousness of man !
His beastly pursuits inhuman
Shown in his gestures, lovely
Promises are all pretentions only
No woman of honor and sanity
Not even the gullible one
Would dare to fall in love
With the so called man even for fun."
Lend an ear dear fellow souls
Mere mortal bodies with myriad goals
The senses portray divergent views
As perceptions screened on the mind
Love is often mistaken,
for love of objects the body need,
need of subjects for the mind to feed,
the 'feed' to satiate your greed.
Infatuations, fleeting passions
out of lustful fascinations
Distressing crave to yearn
what that you wish to own
Make one seek selfish means
Heedless of other's pains
Treachery with a smile
ditch with utter spite
Love is not to blame
fuel is not the flame
In the raving fire
As in every pyre
Burns the sandal logs
along with the corpse

Leonard Cohen's song "You Want It Darker" explores themes of faith, love, death, and life, and the speaker's struggle with the morality of a God who permits suffering. The song's lyrics include references to the Holocaust, the Crucifixion of Christ, and the speaker's own mortality.
The song is about Cohen’s struggles and eventual reconciliation with faith as he faces death. In the song, Cohen doesn’t really doubt that God exists. Rather, he struggles with doubt that God is good. The backdrop is that the song was written and recorded in the last years of his life, when Cohen was becoming increasingly ill with leukaemia and coming to terms with his impending death.

An interesting concept - I never rely thought that God wasn't good. Generally God and the Devil are depicted as separate entities - maybe they are one and the same.
Have you ever been so busy that the periphery has to take a backseat? Oh, yeah! Yet, there are motivators that have us going after those things that seem just beyond reach. With just such an influence, I left my house in Durham at 9pm after a hectic day. Arriving at an open spot across from the Hawksbill Mountain trailhead some 3 hours later, I covered up and attempted a few hours of sleep. My plan is to waken by 4:30, but at 4:15, I’m fired up, geared up, and headed up the trail, motivated by expectations of beauty. I would not be disappointed.
Beauty, it has always seemed to me, is one of the great arguments for the existence of God. If we are all only to engage in a pitiless struggle to ensure our DNA survives (as Richard Dawkins suggests), why does beauty matter so much to so many of us?
It was the beauty contained in the Gospel (“good news”) that moved me so profoundly that I became a Christian… I was baptized 50 years ago today, Easter Sunday.
With the help of C.S. Lewis and Josh McDowell, both of whom I could relate to, as well as the Bible, I was awestruck. To summarize: God had an apparently insoluble conundrum between his justice and his love. He cannot turn a blind eye to human rebellion and failure without compromising his perfect justice. He had gone before His chosen people evidenced as a pillar of cloud by day and of light by night, directing their steps through the wilderness. Yet, while Moses was gone 40 days and nights to receive the Ten Commandments, the children of Israel fell into abject debauchery. We're not like that, are we? A good look around now shows that little has changed of the human condition over these thousands of years. A term now identifies that condition, “HPtFTU” or “the human propensity to foul things up.” For all that, God’s perfect love means he cannot remain alienated from those he has created and loves.
How could one resolve such a conflict without compromising one of these twin absolutes? By human logic, it is impossible! But, as Jesus taught his disciples, our logic is not the last word. The Gospel of Matthew records that Jesus told his disciples, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” The astonished disciples ask, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus replies: “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
God’s solution is not to sacrifice his perfect standards of either morality or love, but to maintain both by sacrificing himself. That is the heart of what Christians commemorate at Easter: that God himself intervened in human history, humiliating himself by taking the form of a helpless infant, living a life in perfect conformity with his moral law, and dying an excruciating and shameful death on the Cross.
I know that some consider this a vile doctrine, that what God allows to happen to Jesus makes him a moral monster. They fail to grasp the importance of the understanding that Jesus was fully human and fully divine. It is in that way that God himself pays the price for restoring humanity.
Or, as the Apostle John more poetically puts it: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
I love chasing beauty with the camera as much as circumstances allow. But I’ve found that the greatest beauty is moral beauty – compassion, generosity, self-sacrifice – and the most beautiful expression of it that I have found or could conceive of is what Christians celebrate at Easter in the death and resurrection of Jesus, the Christ.
One of the most beautiful and inspirational verses in all of God's word I’ve found is John 20:16 where you begin to realize the restraints to Jesus’ “divine capacity” were off in a most wonderful way… Jesus called a very bereaved Mary by her name. That's literally all there is to the verse... Jesus said, “Mary.” She thought He was the gardener, and she wasn't far off in that assessment. He did create it. That's what makes this verse so powerful; Jesus is the Word that was there from the beginning (John 1:1). He had just proved Himself through the resurrection. He was victorious over death and sin… in that moment, there was nothing in Nature over which He didn't prevail. The very Universe would snap at His command, yet He cared enough for Mary, not even a mere speck in that Universe, to reach out to her with heartfelt compassion. She had gone in search of Him, but He found her. In this, Jesus set a precedent that differentiates Christianity from all other religions… because He cares for us all no less than He did Mary. That’s why He went to the cross! God wants us to know Him. God not only allows, but also encourages such a relationship. That’s because Christianity in its truest sense isn’t a religion; it’s a relationship, plain and simple… and it's a relationship that's available to us all.
Thank God, Jesus is risen… He is risen indeed!
“Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
“I hate pride and arrogance!” (Pr. 8:13). God abhors those people worst who adore themselves most. Pride is not a Bethel – that is, a house where God dwells; but a Babel – that is, a stinking dungeon in which Satan abides. Pride is not only a most hateful evil – but it is a radical evil. As all other lusts are found lodging in it – so they are found springing from it. Pride is a foul leprosy, in the face of morality; and a hurtful worm, gnawing at the root of humility. Pride is a cancer within, and a spreading plague without! - William Secker

I've build this interlude especially for a LUG venue in about 1,5 months.
From what you see 95% is new. I only reused the fountain, the gondolas and the street lighting from my previous Venice moc. The rest is new and build from the ground up.
Even the water had to be rebuild because it fell apart when i broke down venice part 1 in 23'
I hope you enjoy what you see, and if you have any technique breakdown requests. Let me know

My daughter asked me after hearing of the sad events caused by terrorism in Beirut and Paris the last 2 days: “why do humans terrorize other humans?” Questions like this always get us into a journey of search for the truth, for reason, for sanity and for an explanation that can offer settlement, even if it was short-lived.
We are given a choice, the moment we were born to be as good or as bad as we want to be. We battle with our own morality throughout our lives here on this planet. We seek out desperately that bit of cool blue logic to give us strength to choose wisely.
I posted several ‘pray for Paris’ tributes on social media today and I was caught by one comment from someone saying that “if prayer helped, then the world would already be a better place”. But do we just give up hope in the face of an uncertain future? What kind of world are our children inheriting?

From Khalil Gibran's THE PROPHET
And an old priest said, "Speak to us of Religion."
And he said:
Have I spoken this day of aught else?
Is not religion all deeds and all reflection,
And that which is neither deed nor reflection, but a wonder and a surprise ever springing in the soul, even while the hands hew the stone or tend the loom?
Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?
Who can spread his hours before him, saying, "This for God and this for myself; This for my soul, and this other for my body?"
All your hours are wings that beat through space from self to self.
He who wears his morality but as his best garment were better naked.
The wind and the sun will tear no holes in his skin.
And he who defines his conduct by ethics imprisons his song-bird in a cage.
The freest song comes not through bars and wires.
And he to whom worshipping is a window, to open but also to shut, has not yet visited the house of his soul whose windows are from dawn to dawn.
Your daily life is your temple and your religion.
Whenever you enter into it take with you your all.
Take the plough and the forge and the mallet and the lute,
The things you have fashioned in necessity or for delight.
For in revery you cannot rise above your achievements nor fall lower than your failures.
And take with you all men:
For in adoration you cannot fly higher than their hopes nor humble yourself lower than their despair.
And if you would know God be not therefore a solver of riddles.
Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children.
And look into space; you shall see Him walking in the cloud, outstretching His arms in the lightning and descending in rain.
You shall see Him smiling in flowers, then rising and waving His hands in trees.
Stupa and prayer flags. Kathmandu, Nepal
( Stupa é uma construção em forma de torre, circundada por uma abóbada e um ou vários chanttras (toldos de lona). Originalmente era um monumento funerário de pedra, semi-esférico, com cúpula, mirante e balaustrada. Com o advento do Budismo, evoluiu para uma representação arquitectónica do Cosmos. O acesso a stupa é feito por um arco ou porta, normalmente adornado com esculturas. No entanto, as masi comuns são simples. Normalmente contém relíquias ou 'pequenos tesouros' simbólicos de uma determinada crença.
Outros termos para designar a stupa são chaitya, pagode e chorten.
......................................................................
The Tibetan word is Chorten, which means "the basis of offering".
Stupa is a symbol of enlightened mind, (the awakened mind, universal divinity) and the path to its realisation.
If you had to use just two words, the best definition I have seen is "Spiritual Monument"
The stupa represents the Buddha's body, his speech and his mind, but most especially his mind and every part shows the path to Enlightenment

Anti-Racism activists pass through Piccadilly Circus, London, during Saturday's March Against Racism. More photos to follow soon.
The rally was organised to mark UN Anti-Racism Day and came at a moment when ethnic minorities feel under severe assault on multiple fronts. Covid 19 and the recent surge in the cost of living have both had a disproportionate and devastating impact on black and other minority communities, while the Nationality and Borders Bill will criminalize asylum seekers and gives the government the power to strip the citizenship away from as many as six million people.
Meanwhile the Ukraine war is revealing Britain's double standards on refugees. Newspapers that were calling for the navy to be deployed to repel small boats of desperate victims of conflict and famine in Yemen, Syria and Afghanistan, are now declaring how we can be proud of our efforts to house those fleeing Ukraine. Some activists on Saturday's march carried placards reminding us that we should welcome refugees from ALL wars.
Although it is good to see Ukrainian refugees being housed in Britain, elementary morality would suggest that our responsibility to those fleeing Yemen and Afghanistan is even greater, as it is British and US aircraft and bombs that are targeting hospitals, markets and schools in Yemen, while Western sanctions are inflicting severe shortages of essentials and near famine conditions on millions in Afghanistan.

New Jersey residents welcomed Prohibition at first. Many residents thought it would reduce crime, improve health, increase safety and raise public morality. But New Jersey quickly became a hotbed for illegal alcohol or moonshine. The promised benefits of Prohibition never occurred. It actually created more problems than problems being solved. Crime organizations were quick to jump in to be a part of the profits. They were the go-to people if you needed something more "specific".
At long last, here it is! It came to my attention from a few friends that I never posted this on here. Sorry about that! Enjoy!

~Da Nativity~
A Sheepish Tale of Three Christmases
A Play By: Tania Kiko
oK oK I know I'm a little irrelevant with some of matters of the season.
But never let it be said that I don't love me some "Buddy Christ"!
When I asked my friend and creator of iconic sim and adult playground The Continental sim, if I could help promote the upcoming ~Da Nativity~ she happily agreed to give me access to the venue!
I was given the outline from The Lady Boss Thecla :
"Come witness French Post-Modern theatre gone gonzo biblical. There will be pathos, there will be
fragmented, ironic, subversive, pluralistic, and experimental absurdities. And of course there will be sheep."
I thought....ooooH mY, "SHEEP!" so brought my flock to the party!
As far as my title and song, my 1st thought went right to Zappa and the iconic album "Sheik Yerbouti" And as you guys know I tend to dance in land the tangent weirdness universe!
I thought "I Have Been In You" might be a little over the line of tasteful promotion and I was going to plan B it with "Jesus Christ Superstar". Upon discussion with "The Boss" she insisted I roll with Zappa! It's nice to be apart of the cool Kidds!
So for those of you into a little "Out There" holiday flair this might just be the ticket for you! I hope I can make it myself!
I know I have said this before, but it warrants repeating,
I LOVE SHOOTING ON THE CONTINENTAL!
Thank you Thecla for being the hostess with the mostest!
Peace...I mean BaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH!
Kidd

Christian Song | Praise the God Full of Authority | "Only by Fearing God Can Evil Be Shunned"
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/fearing-god-can-evil-be-s...
Introduction
God’s disposition is majestic and wrathful.
He’s not a lamb to be slaughtered by anyone.
He is not a puppet, played by anyone as they like.
Nor is He air, ordered around by people.
If you really believe in God
you should have a heart that fears God.
You should know that God’s essence is something that cannot be offended.
Offense may be caused by a word or thought,
a doctrine or theory, or some vile activity.
It may be caused by some mild behavior which is acceptable by morality.
But once you offend God, you have lost your chance to be saved,
and your end days will come soon.
This is something fearful indeed.
If you don’t know God can’t be offended,
you may not fear Him, but will offend Him always.
You cannot fear God if you don’t know how,
nor follow His path to fear God and shun evil.
Once you become aware in your heart and recognize that God is inviolable,
then you will know exactly what it means to fear God and shun evil.
Once you become aware in your heart and recognize that God is inviolable,
then you will know exactly what it means to fear God and shun evil.
You should know that God’s essence
is something that cannot be offended, cannot be offended.
Offense may be caused by a word or thought,
a doctrine or theory, or some vile activity.
If you really believe in God’s existence,
you should have a heart that fears God.

Excerpt from uofguelph.ca:
Known for its strong sense of community, this impressive ivy-covered building was officially opened in 1921 as a men's residence. Mills Hall now houses female and male students living in single, double, and triple rooms.
For 25 years, beginning in 1879, James Mills (1840-1924) directed the Ontario Agricultural College as Principal and, during that time, it changed in both stature and appearance. Mills launched the innovative Farmers' Institutes of Ontario in 1885 as an experiment in adult extension education and also successfully initiated the dairy short course in 1893. It was also Mills that negotiated degree-granting status with the University of Toronto in 1888. He won the College's first private-sector support for the construction of Massey Hall.
Mills was always known for setting high standards of conduct and morality for the young farmers who came to OAC and it is fitting that the former men's residence was named for him. Currently Mills Hall houses both young women and men.

The Khor Virap - Խոր Վիրապ, meaning deep pit or "deep well" is an Armenian Apostolic Church monastery located in the Ararat plain in Armenia, near the border with Turkey, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) south of Artashat, Ararat Province. The monastery was host to a theological seminary and was the residence of Armenian Catholicos.
If there is a single place/shot I have seen and wanted to see with my own eyes in Armenia, it must be the Khor Virap Monastery standing in front of biblical Mt. Ararat. To get this shot I had to visit this place 3 times and even the 3rd time I had to wait for some time to get this wonderful light. Travel photography is fun, however not always rewarding with the best light the first time you visit the location, however when you have the luxury of time and have a chance to come back thanks to proper planning, you might be rewarded with shot like this (Although Mt. Ararat is still partly hiding behind those clouds).

Noravank - Նորավանք - meaning "New Monastery" s a 13th century Armenian Apostolic Church monastery, located 122 km from Yerevan in a narrow gorge made by the Amaghu river, nearby the city of Yeghegnadzor, Armenia. The gorge is known for its tall, sheer, brick-red cliffs, directly across from the monastery. The monastery is best known for its two-storey S. Astvatsatsin church, which grants access to the second floor by way of narrow stones jutting out from the face of building. The monastery is sometimes called Amaghu-Noravank, Amaghu being the name of a small recently destroyed village above the canyon, in order to distinguish it from Bgheno-Noravank, near Goris.
Yet one more place that firstly welcomed me with lot and lot of rain. I waited there for 2 hours to see if the rain stop, but it didnt. I decided that this place can be visited again on my way back to Yerevan as it is definitely worth it. When I was approaching the following time, I had the most amazing and dramatic light - strong, late afternoon light with heavy, dark, stormy clouds in the back - my favorite combination. The contrast and an amazing surrounding landscape created this stunning shot.... surely the 2nd trip was worth it!

This stylised portrait in fragments is the second of my little tributes today. One of the seminal books of the past 30 years was written by a Polish sociologist, exiled from his home country during the Communist crackdown in 1968. Zygmunt Bauman (1925-2017) was a strong advocate for true people's democracy and he was never afraid to speak the truth to power. His subjects ranged on the changing nature of morality in a postmodern society, the brokenness of so many people and their cultures left in the wake of the so-called economic success of globalisation, the rise of anti-Semitism and violence, and how we should deal with strangers.
In his book "Life in Fragments" (1995) he wanted to explore ways individuals fragmented by the changing pace of life and the sheer "liquidity" of the postmodern situation could come together and form real social bonds beyond the traditional structures of the nation state or religious and racial identity. Bauman is the sort of writer you'll never sum up in neat quotes. Once you read him you have to engage in his whole argument. But I will leave you with one thought-provoking comment that is particularly apposite during this time of rolling lock downs:
"It is because of our loneliness that we open up to the Other and allow the Other to open up to us. It is because of our loneliness (which is only belied, not overcome, by the hubbub of the being-with) that we turn into moral selves. And it is only through allowing the togetherness its possibilities which only the future can disclose that we stand a chance of acting morally, and sometimes even of being good, in the present." (p. 71.

Ray tagged me, so I had to upload a pic of myself and write 16 facts about me:
1. I have a bad temper, but it usuallly takes lots to make me show it (and then I become Shrek, as Santi says).
2. I tend to be very diplomatic and respectful, but people who don't respect others make my diplomacy disapppear in the blink of an eye.
3. If I don't sleep much my sense of humour gets weirder and I become grumpy. Let me sleep for a while and I'll be really fine.
4. I snore really loudly, I pity anyone who has to sleep near me (or in nearby rooms).
5. I have a sweet tooth, so I like cooking and baking at home when I have some spare time (especially pies, cakes, cookies...)
6. I'm a chocoholic.
7. I love the time I spend with my friends, but I really need (a lot of) time for myself.
8. I love reading and listening to music, and for me it's more a vice than a hobby. Wherever I may go, there will always be at least one book in my suitcase.
9. I read as much as I reread.
10. I've read many more comic books as an adult than in my childhood-teenager years.
11. I'm a baptized Catholic, and a non-practicing one for several decades. I don't like the double morality of the Catholic Church in many matters (especially about children abuse).
12. I used to be very shy when a teenager, it took me a great effort to talk to someone I had just met.
13. I guess I'm the clown of the family (a honour I share with my cousin Irene). When we've sat together at family gatherings we (and our relatives sitting close by) haven't been able to eat much because we've spent most of the time laughing.
14. I can't walk slowly, if I do my feet start aching too much. It always looks like I'm in a hurry, so some people call me "the roadrunner".
15. I prefer winter to summer, I can't stand the heat. But then I also love the blue skies that come with summer...
16. I've never got drunk, don't smoke and I've never tried drugs... That makes me a bit boring?
Ray me ha "marcado", así que tenía que subir una foto mía y contar 16 cosas sobre mí:
1. Tengo mal genio, pero hace falta bastante para hacerme estallar (y luego me convierto en Shrek, como dice Santi).
2. Tiendo a ser diplomático y respetuoso, pero la gente que no respeta a otros hace que mi diplomacia desaparezca en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.
3. Si no duermo mucho mi sentido del humor se vuelve más ácido y me vuelvo gruñón. Déjame dormir un poco y estaré estupendamente.
4. Ronco mucho y muy fuerte, pobre del que tenga que dormir cerca (o en habitaciones cercanas).
5. Soy muy goloso, así que me encanta la repostería y practico en casa en cuanto tengo un rato.
6. Soy adicto al chocolate.
7. Me encanta pasar tiempo con mis amigos, pero también necesito (mucho) tiempo para mí mismo.
8. Me encanta leer y escuchar música, y para mí son más vicios que aficiones. Vaya donde vaya siempre habrá al menos un libro en mi maleta.
9. Leo tanto como releo.
10. He leído muchos más cómics siendo adulto de los que leí en mi infancia-adolescencia.
11. Soy católico, aunque no practicante. No me gusta la doble moralidad de la Iglesia Católica en muchos asuntos (particularmente en lo que abusos a menores se refiere).
12. Solía ser muy tímido en mi adolescencia, me suponía un gran esfuerzo hablar con alguien a quien acababa de conocer.
13. Creo que soy el payaso de la familia (un honor que comparto con mi prima Irene). Cuando nos hemos sentado juntos en reuniones familiares casi no hemos comido (ni los que estaban a nuestro alrededor) porque nos estábamos partiendo de risa.
14. No sé andar despacio, si lo hago me duelen los pies. Siempre parece que tengo prisa, así que a veces me llaman "correcaminos".
15. Prefiero el invierno al verano, no aguanto el calor. Por otra parte me encantan los cielos azules de verano.
16. Nunca me he emborrachado, no fumo y nuca he probado las drogas... ¿Eso me convierte en un aburrido?
Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
Soren Kierkegaard.
Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (5 May 1813 – 11 November 1855) was a Danish philosopher, theologian, poet, social critic and religious author who is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher. He wrote critical texts on organized religion, Christendom, morality, ethics, psychology, and the philosophy of religion, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony and parables. Much of his philosophical work deals with the issues of how one lives as a "single individual", giving priority to concrete human reality over abstract thinking and highlighting the importance of personal choice and commitment. He was against literary critics who defined idealist intellectuals and philosophers of his time, and thought that Swedenborg, Hegel, Goethe, Fichte, Schelling, Schlegel and Hans Christian Andersen were all "understood" far too quickly by "scholars" Source Wikipedia.
"how the mother is to be pitied who hath handsome daughters! locks, bolts, bars, and lectures of morality are nothing to them: they break through them all. they have as much pleasure in cheating a father and mother, as in cheating at cards."

There is a new SiFi sim in town!
My old friend Kitten Caboose from those cool peeps over at The Grove Art Center has created this unique futuristic environment, really well laid out with some superb details.
I was lucky enough get to do a shoot in the Kidd way going BIG, last week. While my interpretation strays from the builders intended storyline a tad, I had a blast making my frames!

The Sims Story Per the creator:
The story of Three Finger Pines:
Once a thriving, green world, the planet Seva was rich with towering flora. But centuries of unchecked consumerism, pollution, and climate collapse shattered its natural balance. The soil turned sterile; the skies choked with toxins.
The Seravarian race emerged from this collapse, desperate to save what remained of their dying world. They launched a small fleet of ships into the galaxy, searching for planets with atmospheres that echoed their lost home. One such vessel crash-landed on Earth—deep within an isolated region of Canada’s boreal forest known as Three Finger Pines.
Remote and largely untouched, Three Finger Pines is a land of towering pines, sprawling wetlands, and near-complete isolation. To the Seravarians, it was a living memory of what Seva once was.
They have not come to resettle Earth, but to learn from its biosystem. By studying the region’s genetic blueprints—its plants, spores, and soil—they hope to unlock the secrets needed to reawaken Seva’s long-lost ecosystem.

My entry to Round 1 of Bio-Cup 2021
Subtheme: Theatre/Performing Arts
Based on a 15th century morality play known as "The Everyman"
Check out our Website
“Life of the Earth” will reflect on humanity, environmental destruction and the sixth mass extinction of plant and animal life currently happening on our planet. This installation will allow for time travel from Pangaea to the Anthropocene to an Earth 100,000 years beyond humankind. Along the way, it will illustrate drastic changes that have transformed the planet. The Earth will be seen as if from space—a key vantage point for illuminating a state of emergency and the urgency to mitigate human impact on climate change. This will be the second part of a series, following “Death of the Sun,” which premiered at Nuit Blanche in 2016. The earlier work followed the sun through its life cycle, offering a deeply personal and highly evocative meditation on human morality and our place in the universe. This first piece, portraying the death of the sun that sustains us, will also be on display. Source: www.toronto.ca/explore-enjoy/festivals-events/nuitblanche...
