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

Once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life,love gives us a fairy tale.
PS: I knew this isn't a great picture in terms of composition, but I liked the way it came out, particularly for that emotion! Taken at Malta on a dance show.

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

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!

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.

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 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.

He said,
"It is not so much the fact that she doesn't love me that makes me ache
It is the fact that I have finally met her,
that she existed,
and she has opened up my sky.
and I am aching
because
I never thought it would be possible
for me to encounter a beautiful soul such as
hers
and now I know
what it feels like to be alive again"
There once was a girl who was driving to work in very dense fog when off in the distance there appeared a castle illuminated by the soft rays of sunrise. Amazement filled her eyes as she had been this way many times before and never saw a castle! Nothing would do but for her to pull over and take a photo to share with others even though it meant she would be late.
This photo is straight out of the camera except for cropping the fog can be so kind to modern buildings. You see this is not a castle at all just a very modern building with tall skinny evergreen trees growing next to it.
Many years ago at the Saarbrücken library I started reading my kid a story from a book of Russian fairy tales. It was quite long (a story of twists and turns it was) so we left the pretty princess emprisonned in an impregnable copper tower to be delivered by her hardy hearted suitor on the next Saturday. Damnation... the book was gone. And the next week it was not back yet. It didn'tshow up the week afterwards either. Then we moved out of Saarbrücken, and to this day, wonder how the story went on. And this is why I insist on owning the books I read. The facade here reminded me of the copper tower, but that still doesn't tell me the end of the story.

It's bonfire night here in the UK... which is an annual celbration known as
Guy Fawkes . I'm not able to get any shots tonight, but still wanted to enter into the spirit... so this is my effort. From the Disney fireworks display in the summer.
