"Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun."

This is a portrait of the filtered sun, with tiny (7-8 mm in diameter) geraniums in the foreground. (post camera double exposure)
The sunset across the street was so great & I loved the way the golden rays reflected off the houses! Hope you do too my friends =)
I was told that there had been a great red sunset on Sunday evening and I had missed it. I was jealous.
So when I saw clouds in the evening sky the next day, I went and camped in my favourite layby, watched the sun sink and took too many photos.

Sun pillars seen during last nights sunset.
A sun pillar is a vertical shaft of light extending upward or downward from the sun. Typically seen during sunrise or sunset, sun pillars form when sunlight reflects off the surfaces of falling ice crystals associated with thin, high-level clouds (like cirrostratus clouds).
When I built this look, it was a totally different process for me. Taking learnings with several friends in SecondLife, a body proportion guide and seeing what the best 'fit' was. From there, making customizations and changes that my eye wanted to express. The response has been great as I let my more feminine/andro avatar take a much deserved vacation.
One of my favorite comments has been about having a 'Greek God' appearance and as I dig through my inventory, found this homage to Apollo from Fallen Gods that felt fun for taking a photo today. Is there anything better than feeling like a bringer of Sun and light.
The song today is "Sun King" by the Cult, the opening track to the Sonic Temple release, what a ripping way to start the whole release.
Favorite words:
"Hey, look out, little missy's about
Ripping up the town, yeah
Honey, I can't tie you down
Woman, you make me frown
Long legged lady with a black dress on
On my knees, mama please
I'm a regal man
I'll do what I can
To t-t-take you to the promised land
A sun king, baby
Let me take you by the hand
Yeah, sun king, honey
We can rule across this land
I'm a sun king, baby, baby
With you, I'll share my throne
A sun king, honey
I can't make it on my own, yeah"
This was my little pose, no post process as viewed in BlackDragon viewer.

For the first 4 months of 2016 we have managed to celebrate 4 New years in 3 different countries. («our» New Year, Chinese, Indonesian and Nepali).
But the most vivid impression left celebration of Balinese New Year 1938 (or Nyepi - Balinese "Day of Silence") on the top of Batur volcano. This year the celebration fell on March 9, exactly on the day when it was possible to observe extremely rare phenomenon in the sky - a total Solar eclipse. To all other the trajectory of movement of the Solar eclipse took place through the International Date Line. That means that eclipse began on Wednesday, March 9 and ended on Tuesday! March 8.
In general, everything described here is pretty tough to understand without Nolan! ))
So I will not bother you with all my impressions, thoughts and tales about this, because all that wouldn't fit in a full-length novel.

The best SunSmart steps:
1 Slip on covering clothing. Choose clothing that covers as much skin as possible, for example, collared shirts with long sleeves...
2 Slop on SPF 30 (or higher) broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen...
3 Slap on a hat...
4 Seek shade...
5 Slide on some sunglasses...
Why Is Sun Protection Important?
We all need some sun exposure. When skin is exposed to the sun, our bodies make vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium for stronger, healthier bones. It only takes a little time in the sun for most people to get the vitamin D they need (and most vitamin D needs should be met with a healthy diet and/or supplements).
Too much unprotected exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause skin damage, eye damage, immune system suppression, and skin cancer. Even people in their twenties can develop skin cancer.
How Do Sunburns Happen?
The sun radiates light to the earth, and part of that light consists of invisible UV rays. When these rays reach the skin, they cause tanning, burning, and other skin damage.
UVA rays cause skin ageing and wrinkling and contribute to skin cancer, such as melanoma (the most dangerous form of skin cancer). UVA rays pass easily through the ozone layer, so they make up the majority of our sun exposure.
UVB rays are also dangerous, causing sunburns, cataracts (clouding of the eye lens), and effects on the immune system. They also contribute to skin cancer, and melanoma is thought to be associated with severe UVB sunburns before age 20.
UV rays react with a chemical called melanin that's found in skin. A sunburn develops when the amount of UV exposure is greater than what can be protected against by the skin's melanin. The risk of damage increases with the amount and intensity of exposure. A tan is itself a sign of skin damage and does not help protect the skin.
