The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I've promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep...

The temple of Borobodur in Indonesia, dates back from the 9th century
The narrative panels depict the story of the Jātaka tales that describe the previous existences of the Buddha (Lalitavistara Sūtra)– every scene of the story is a sculpted work of art of extraordinary value. UNESCO has recognized these panels as the largest and most comprehensive ensemble of Buddhist reliefs in the world.

Les panneaux narratifs illustrent les contes de Jātaka qui parlent des vies antérieures de Bouddha. Chaque scène de l'histoire est une œuvre d'art sculptée. L'UNESCO a reconnu ces panneaux comme l'ensemble le plus vaste et le plus complet de reliefs bouddhiques au monde.

So many things I would like to say!
First of all, a huge thank you to Nai for exhibiting my works at DBL. Without her constant support and encouragement, I would have been a lot less today.
A huge thank you as well to all who came for the opening, and I MAY be planning something for those who bought my works that day. ;) The works will be up there until the end of May, featuring fabulous work from Zolar Merlin as well, do feel free to drop by slurl.com/secondlife/Casablanca Estates Two/87/234/1927
Well, I can't believe the last time I posted something was nearly two months ago. RL work swarmed in and I couldn't go back to SL at all.
I was finally free last week, but after stopping for so long, it was really very difficult to get back. I'm woefully rusty and behind with everything SL and flickr. I had waited eagerly for the holiday and I thought I could bounce back quickly, but I was wrong; I was generally uninspired and rather confused.
Well, enough of my ranting! I saw an outfit featured by carthalis rossini www.flickr.com/photos/carthalis/4608378193/ and immediately knew that I had to check out AVid. I was amazed by the range and quality, and this outfit really caught my eye, and finally something inspired me to do something. It wasn't easy though, I'm still terribly rusty.
Well, I'm still ranting. Pardon me, I have been saving up nearly two months of rant. Glad to be back and hope to get more inspired and get used to everything again :D

Jal Mahal (meaning “Water Palace”) is a palace located in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur city, the capital of the state of Rajasthan, India.
The Jal Mahal palace is considered an architectural beauty built in the Rajput and Mughal styles of architecture (common in Rajasthan) providing a picturesque view of the lake (from the Mansagar dam on the eastern side of the lake that acts as a vantage point for viewing the lake and the valley), and the surrounding Nahargarh (abode of the tigers) hills. The Jal Mahal Palace was built in red sandstone in 18th Century and is a five-story palace, with the first four floors being submerged under water.
The palace remained uninhabited, was not maintained and hence not visited by tourists. To remove the ecological damage caused to the lake due to indiscriminate pollution from the city sewerage, restoration measures were undertaken, since 2001, after a detailed study by the Government of Rajasthan.

It was enlightening to talk with the local(s) about the (forced) decline of Newfoundland's Cod fishery. Those discussions dovetailed with this scene of an old fishing shack.
Getting the exposure right on this handheld scene was fun as well.
Thanks for looking!

Here is a shot of Edrelle taken among those for the next chapter of her tale, a little glimpse of where her path takes her after the group's respite among the quiet of Riverwood, steps bringing them among fall hues and the rustle of leaves once more. I will be starting the writing for the chapter tomorrow or I guess today I should say since it is after midnight for me.

Protected from the developments of the modern world, the town of Suzdal is like something out of a Russian fairy tale.
I woke early for some reason this morning and decided to head down to a local nature reserve. I was there by six and didn't see another soul until I left at eight - so peaceful! The butterflies were still sleepy so I finally managed to capture a shot of a white before it danced away, too.
Apparently some people think stories of fairies have their roots in sightings of the common blue butterfly, but I thought that this ragged beauty moved much more gracefully, and its tattered wings could definitely have been taken for a fairy skirt fluttering in the breeze!
Civita was founded by Etruscans more than 2,500 years ago. Its population dwindled to just 6 residents over the course of the 20th century. Civita was the birthplace of Saint Bonaventure, who died in 1274. By the 16th century, Civita was beginning to decline, becoming eclipsed by its former suburb Bagnoregio.
At the end of the 17th century, the bishop and the municipal government were forced to move to Bagnoregio because of a major earthquake that accelerated the old town's decline. At that time, the area was part of the Papal States.
In the 19th century, Civita's location was turning into an island and the pace of the erosion quickened as the layer of clay below the stone was reached in the area where today's bridge is situated. Bagnoregio continues as a small but prosperous town, while Civita became known in Italian as il paese che muore ("the town that is dying").
The town is noted for its striking position atop a plateau of friable volcanic tuff overlooking the Tiber river valley, in constant danger of destruction as its edges fall off, leaving the buildings built on the plateau to crumble.
The population today varies from about 12 people in winter to more than 100 in summer.
A Canterbury Tale - Dreadzone
There are more ways than one of getting close to your ancestors.
Follow the old road, and as you walk, think of them and of the old England.
You’re only seeing what their eye saw. Ford the same rivers.
The same birds are singing.
When you lie flat on your back and rest, and watch the clouds sailing, as I often do, you're so close to those other people, that you can hear the thrumming of the hoofs of their horses, and the sound of the wheels on the road, and their laughter and talk, and the music of the instruments they carried.
The red rose cries, She is near
And the white rose weeps, She is late
The larkspur listens, I hear
And the lily whispers, I wait
The red rose cries, She is near
And the white rose weeps, She is late
The larkspur listens, I hear
And the lily whispers, I wait
What I’d give to grow old in a place like this….
A wonderful tree to sit under...
listen to the music or
hear the poems of a storyteller ...
My love
Has told me
That she needs me.
That's why
I take good care of myself
Watch out where I'm going and
Fear that any drop of rain
Might kill me.

One of my favourite places in Mumbai is to Dhobi Ghats. It’s a large open air laundry mat of sorts. The people who work here also live here, Many with their families. It’s a community, even with it own school !
