NOON, the best shapes in SL

At noon, the thin air smeared warm and sultry on the earth already parched with dryness. The hardest task was finding a shadow stamp and a gust of wind...

A mezzogiorno, l'aria rarefatta spalmava caldo e afa sulla terra già arsa dalla secchezza. Il compito più arduo era trovare un francobollo d'ombra e un refolo di vento.
Rediscovered this one last night. Had forgotten about it, though I'm not sure how as I took it on a wonderful walk through a previously unfamiliar part of London (Bermondsey) that also yielded this shot amongst others: flic.kr/p/Jqo72W.

Notre-Dame de Thierenbach, à 2 km de Soultz jouit d'un site incomparable au pied du Vieil Armand et du Grand Ballon. De style baroque, les origines de ce haut-lieu de pèlerinage marial remontent au 8ème siècle (730). Elle fut fondée par les moines bénédictins de Murbach venus d'Irlande. En 1125, un jeune noble de Soultz, atteint de maladie incurable, y fut miraculeusement guéri. Cinq ans plus tard, en 1130, Pierre le Vénérable, abbé de Cluny y fonde un prieuré bénédictin, supprimé par la Révolution. L'église actuelle, de style baroque autrichien, fut construite en 1723 par Peter THUMB. Elle devint l'église paroissiale de Jungholtz en 1881 et fut érigée en Basilique mineure par Pie XI en 1936. En 1980 furent fêtées les solennités du 1250ème anniversaire de la création du Pèlerinage. De nombreux ex-votos offerts pour accompagner une demande ou un remerciement à la Vierge tapissent les murs de l'église. Plus de 800 existent encore aujourd'hui. Le plus ancien, date de 1680. La basilique de Thierenbach possède un orgue Didier Fisher Krämer, datant de 1923. De nombreux concerts d'orgue sont proposés tout au long de l'année.

The goldenrod is yellow;
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian's bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusky pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow-nook;
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook.
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes' sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies.
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer's best of weather,
And autumn's best of cheer.
In EXPLORE!!!
I visited the sim again: Octopussy, goes Cuba, Libera and absorbed the atmosphere ..

Drawing a perfect circle in one continuous line was a sign
of mastery. Rembrandt did it in one of his latest self-portraits.
Noguchi however, did the opposite. Read what he wrote
about Sun a Noon.
The assembly technique, no doubt with industrial help, is related
to Noguchi's activity as a designer. Some of his furniture, like
his famous glass coffee table and his paper lanterns, are still in production and very popular.
This is a view from skiing at noon yesterday. Note the greys, the flatness of light. This is what we deal with up here. Still, we get more than those folks up in Fairbanks.
