The sky was filled with these big clouds and the long-awaited rain fell shortly thereafter. It was not a big storm but instead a pleasant storm.
"Come back to square one, just the minimum bare bones. Relaxing with the present moment, relaxing with hopelessness, relaxing with death, not resisting the fact that things end, that things pass, that things have no lasting substance, that everything is changing all the time - that is the basic message"

the iliveisl sim, Enercity Park, goes away shortly after these pics were taken. it was one of only 100 or so remaining openspace sims.
it had been 3750 prims but when Linden Lab poorly executed their change in policy and pricing and went from $75 to $95 per month and from 3750 prims to 750 prims, this became the most expensive type of land isl
but i promised my residents that Enercity would have a park so kept it until the estate was transferred to the very best residents in all of second life
the park was the closest to a home that Ener Hax had. two sparse fallout shelters would become Ener's homes
one just a bare mattress and cardboard boxes to reduce drafts from broken windows and had and old turret slowly rotating that stood as a silent sentinel to bygone eras when we humans could have taken a lesson from our own avatars and the other a small emergency shelter for the bus stop
the lake in the park was called Butterfly Lake from its shape when viewed from the air and had a swan and ducklings swimming and a nice bench for friends to sit and visit under a weeping willow. near that spot was an old underground shelter to park military vehicles. that spot became an underground skatepark and was connected to the city's catacombs. these catacombs, like in Paris, ran below the city streets
zombies lived in one section near a small graveyard. no one knew why zombies were there, some suspect it was related to the war time bunkers. the manhole cover near the zombies was opened and the catacombs tagged with "i <3 ener hax" and "subQuark sux"
the most favourite spot for Ener Hax was near the bus stop and the 1950's era rotating and steaming coffee billboard (hmm, maybe the chemical smoke from that big coffee cup is to blame for the zombies? after all, the "steam" does drift over the grave yard
the fave spot looked over the smaller lake west of the bus stop and was in view of one of the parks two waterfalls. that spot was made very special because of Mr. Bunny. Ener loved to sit on the ground and just watch Mr. Bunny hop around and doze occasionally. what a cute bunny =) he even had his own carrots planted by Ener
high above the eastern part of the park was the huge zebra striped zeppelin. a bit of a trademark of the iliveisl estate
it was a lovely spot, even had tai chi on the big bunker and a zip line from the water tower
ooh, the water tower! as a surprise gift, DreamWalker scripted the water tower and turned it int a funky hang out spot. there was an abandoned pool inside the tower (???) and place to sit and talk. even a cute ladybug called it home. the water tower's top would slide up and down and also turn invisible. for romance, a moon beam came through the towers top port and could even have its brightness changed
even though the park was outrageously expensive, it was Ener Hax and Mr. Bunnies home and will be sincerely missed

Other title: Campidoglio (Rome, Italy); Capitoline Hill (Rome, Italy); Palazzo dei Conservatori (Rome, Italy)
Creator: Michelangelo Buonarroti, 1475-1564
Date: 1563-1575
Current location: Rome, Roma, Lazio, Italy
Description of work: This photograph shows a typical bay from the facade of the Conservators' Palace on the Capitoline. Designed by Michelangelo, it uses a giant order of Corinthian pilasters on podia supporting an entablature to unite the two-story composition. The open ground story is defined by two smaller, free-standing Ionic columns supporting a smaller entablature, while the window surrounds of the upper story use even smaller applied Corinthian columns to support a broken segmental pediment around a carved shell form. The balustrade at the bottom of the window repeats the much larger balustrade (not visible) that crowns the full width of the entire building.

Our @rangercurt is posting reports of downed trees on the map in the Interpretive Center lobby. Let us know if you see others. We'll be out clearing them soon as we can. Also watch out for poison oak on the trails. It's grown rapidly. We'll be clearing that too soon as we can. via Instagram ift.tt/1LYBeLR

Other title: Piazza San Pietro (Vatican City)
Creator: Bernini, Gian Lorenzo, 1598-1680
Date: 1657-1667
Current location: Rome, Roma, Lazio, Italy
Description of work: The open space in front of St. Peter's was regularized under Pope Alexander VII into one of the world's most distinctive urban compositions by Gianlorenzo Bernini from 1657-1667. It was designed as a conjunction of two forms: a trapezoidal space immediately in front of the facade, called the "Piazza Retta" and a laterally-oriented elliptical "Piazza Obliqua" centered on the Vatican obelisk. The enormous "arms" around the Piazza Obliqua consist of colonnades that are both permeable to pedestrian traffic and a clear boundary for the space. The geometry also allows a maximum number of people to view Papal appearances at the benediction loggia in the church facade.

Nowoczesny i wielofunkcyjny kompleks CEiS w Mysiadle k. Warszawy. W trakcie budowy - obecnie otwarta jest Hala Sportowa oraz budynek gimnazjum, w którym tymczasowo funkcjonuje także szkoła podstawowa. Docelowo (2016) szkoła podstawowa będzie miała własny budynek. Szkoła ta jest przykładem dużej inwestycji samorządu w nowoczesną placówkę edukacyjno-kulturalno-sportową. W szkole duże wrażenie robią wykorzystywane w różny sposób przestrzenie otwarte. Funkcjonują one obok zamkniętych sal dydaktycznych i również odbywają się w nich zajęcia.
