As Gilbert H. Grosvenor, Editor of National Geographic once wrote, “A map is the greatest of all epic poems. Its lines and colors show the realization of great dreams.”
Often the essence or spark of an idea comes from a map. Every dream we create here in Second Life starts with a vision which is inspired by our imagination to what might be and what one can achieve.
These elements are the detailed artwork of a cartographer which, when done well, leads your eye along a beautiful trail that tells the story of a part of the world - leaving your imagination to journey, discover., and enjoy.
Here in Second Life our daydreams take us to new adventures through the creation of places we dream of to explore.
The Village of Ciampi, as seen through the eyes of a RL cartographer, is one such place. In SL, his name is Viggen Petofi. He is a man that I have come to love and adore through his talent, wit, and charm which captures my hopeless romantic heart.

One day she realized that she could
never please everyone, so she gave up
trying and decided to be herself.
Whether other people liked it or not was
not her business.
Anna Taylor
Shame is a powerful emotion for some of us. The realization that you have lost control of your own life could be depressing or liberating. There are actually three choices. Do you let it keep you down? Do you embrace your newly realized status? Or do you refuse the path chosen for you and change course? What do you choose when your own home no longer seems like a safe haven?
How does she sleep?

Here comes Mr. Misery
He's tearing out his hair again
He's crying over her again
He's standing in the super-market shouting at the customers
Here comes Mr. Misery
He'll never be any good with a mouth full of gold and blood
He's contemplating murder again
He must be in love
But you know she doesn't want you
But you can't seem to get it in your head
Oh and you can't sleep at night
And she haunts you when you go to bed
When you're tired of talking and you can't drink it down
So you hang around and drown instead
Home isn't where it used to be
Home is anywhere you hang your head . . .

"A Queen on her throne is a woman who has mastered herself. She’s not perfect, but she is complete. She has come to the full realization that everything she needs to fulfill her mission can be found within. She’s uncovered her powers and she knows how to use them. She's no longer on The Path, she has become The Path." -Molesey Crawford

Puente del Kursaal, Donostia, Guipúzcoa, España.
Puente de tramos rectos de hormigón armado, recubierto por piedra de Motrico y mármol rosa, con elementos decorativos de estilo modernista. Construido sobre grandes pilares, de donde arrancan las seis características farolas que contienen a esta obra su marcada personalidad.
A comienzos del siglo XX. El ayuntamiento apoya la construcción de un tercer puente sobre el Urumea "en el que se armonicen la solidez y la resistencia con la monumentalidad y belleza del conjunto".
El ingeniero Ribera presentó al Ayuntamiento una importante modificación: el puente de la Zurriola, proyecto inicialmente con arcos, será construido con tramos rectos.
El 14 de Agosto de 1921 numerosísimo público acudió a la inauguración.
El barandado metálico y los obeliscos que hacen de farolas son obra de Victor Arana. Las cuatro esfinges de bronce pertenecen a la reforma de 1993. Tienen 120 metros de largo como el puente de Santa catalina con el que mantiene cierta armonía de líneas y es algo mayor que el Puente de María Cristina, de 100 metros.
Años de realización: 1918-1921
Autor: J.E.RIBERA
Bridge of straight sections of reinforced concrete, covered by motric stone and pink marble, with decorative elements of modernist style. Built on large pillars, from which the six characteristic lanterns that contain this work its marked personality.
At the beginning of the 20th century. The city council supports the construction of a third bridge over the Urumea "in which solidity and resistance are harmonized with the monumentality and beauty of the whole".
Engineer Ribera presented the City Council with an important modification: the Zurriola bridge, initially with arches, will be built with straight sections.
On August 14, 1921, a large audience attended the inauguration.
The metal balustrade and the obelisks that act as lampposts are the work of Victor Arana. The four bronze sphinxes belong to the 1993 reform. They are 120 meters long, like the Santa Catalina bridge, with which it maintains a certain harmony of lines and is somewhat larger than the María Cristina Bridge, which is 100 meters long.
Years of realization: 1918-1921

SBW 241 008 with loaded Ea wagons used to transport soil excavated in the Stuttgart area (realization of Stuttgart 21-project and NBS Stuttgart - Ulm) hauled from Altenburg to Kayna at Grossstöbnitz. The excavated soil will be used at Kayna to fill up old mine pits.
First afternoon off work because I felt like it...upon arrival...the realization that idle time is a burden set in...the mind wanders...there was only one solution...take a walk with the MKIII and the 100-400mm. After about 15 minutes in the still 85 Deg F heat I was done...my first thoughts on what to call this shoot was "Butterflies & B.S." A Variety of Things Seen.
The Swallowtails were on the Ironweed as was eye too...and like you, I became bored...the end.

Lyric
"As long as you are chasing happiness,
you are not ripe for happiness"
(c) Hermann Hesse
Every sunset, 'I' have missed more than a million realizations!
Only those that got into my senses have got into glorifications.
Every sunrise, 'I' sense what is not,
Those that 'I' feel, in fact are all mortal
Every sunrise, 'I' wake to see subtle illusions,
Those that got into my imagination, not real, mere delusions.
Every sunset, 'I' dream, the shadows of illusions ,
'All' that remains, is true, immortal.

The Swallowtails were on the Ironweed as was eye too...like an Angel spreading Its Wings...inviting a path to salvation...to be lifted from the rabble...and from this babble I move on to Lavender Wildflowers...more boring Beauty.

When you love somebody
They'll always leave too soon
But a memory, a memory
Can make a flower bloom
We wanna be remembered
Don't wanna live in vain
But nothing lasts forever
This world is in a losing game
I wanna mean something to somebody else
Feel a significance in the real world
It's not enough to live out a lucky life
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours
And you were mine

Manhattan, NYC. This gentleman was actually signaling to his girlfriend (she had gone into the subway entrance behind the window).
Park at Realization Point, take the Range View Trail, which offers views like this. I took this on December 16, and although I took micro spikes, there was no need for them. Usually, this is a snowy trail in December.
The Indian Peaks Wilderness Area is on the horizon. Niwot Ridge, the site of the University of Colorado Mountain Research Station, is also visible.
Boulder Canyon is in the very center of the photo.
For Thomas, self-realization in the larger story calls for a reinvention of ourselves as participating in our genetic relatedness to Earth, as well as in the material elements of the universe. The challenge that Thomas himself underwent by integrating cultural and evolutionary history became his prophetic call. He called humans back from a hyper-individualism trapped in a use-relationship with an objectified, dead world. The three mediations evident in the cultural historical record inspired him to call for a communion experience with the Earth community as continuing the emergence of the universe.
--Thomas Berry, “The Role of the Church in the 21st Century,” in The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth, ed. Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim (Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis Books, 2009), 58.
🌿🔥👠
I wear Ellie like a benediction—and Doom like a promise.
Across my back, the Ellie tattoo by Venus blooms in deliberate intimacy. Butterflies rise from flowering stems as if joy itself learned how to touch skin—wings caught mid-breath, petals unfurling with the calm confidence of desire that knows it will be answered. The artwork whispers harmony: pleasure without chaos, surrender without loss. It’s the kind of beauty that doesn’t beg—it invites, and waits. 💫
Ellie’s influences echo vintage botanical plates and Art Nouveau sensuality—Mucha-like curves, heirloom ink traditions, fine-line elegance meant to be admired slowly. She arrives in layered expressions—fresh and vivid, gently faded, beautifully aged—each graduation a different temperature of memory. Color options drift from soft botanicals to richer, decadent hues, letting me tune the mood like music against bare skin. 🎨
Then I step into Doom.
Named perfectly—because that’s what happens.
Doom by Le’La doesn’t accessorize me; it transforms me. The towering platform and merciless heel tilt my pelvis forward, set my hips into a slow, inevitable sway, and stretch the muscles of my calves and lower thighs until my stance becomes a signal. Men feel it before they understand it—instinct flaring, composure thinning, hunger sharpening. Doom doesn’t ask for attention. It summons it. 🔥👠
The design is architectural and unapologetic: bold platforms, razor-clean heels, ankle details that read like elegant restraint. A generous HUD unlocks a spectrum of temptation—obsidian blacks, blood-dark reds, smoky neutrals, fashion-forward tones—each color a different way to fracture resolve. One step and the room tilts; another and restraint forgets its name. 💄✨
Between skin and heel, I sheath myself in the Gwen Stockings by VV Paris—a finishing touch that feels like intention made visible. Their fine-gauge weave hugs my legs with couture precision, tracing calves and thighs in a soft sheen that catches the light with every movement. Delicate detailing—subtle seams, perfectly weighted opacity, and refined edge finishes—lengthens my lines and deepens the contrast against bare skin. They don’t compete with Ellie or Doom; they connect them, smoothing the gaze upward, sharpening the pause, and turning a look into a slow, delicious realization. ✨
Together, Ellie and Doom are exquisite ruin—joy inked into skin and elevation that spells consequence. I become harmony and havoc entwined, the fantasy that smiles sweetly… and walks straight through restraint. 🌹
If you dare to imbibe in this intoxicating pairing—inked joy and elevated sin—Ellie by Venus, Gwen Stockings, and Doom by Le’La are available exclusively at the Swank Fifty Shades of Red Event.

Some fantasies are sweet.
Others are final.
I walk in Doom—and instincts follow.

There had been a passing shower and these little pink wildflowers were glistening in the late afternoon Sun.
