The tennis net reflected in a puddle can be seen as horizontal, like the puddle or as vertical, like the tennis net in reality. I add this image to the theme truth versus illusion (or real versus virtual), which is a sub theme of opposites since vertical and horizontal are opposites. It also belongs to the subject of reflections, but reflections are always an illusion that relates to reality.

רשת טניס שמשתקפת בשלולית

את רשת הטניס שמשתקפת בשלולית אפשר לראות כמאוזנת, כמו השלולית, או כמאונכת, כמו רשת הטניס שבמציאות. תמונה זו שייכת אצלי לנושא של אמת ואשליה או מציאות מול וירטואליות, שהוא תת נושא של ניגודים, כי מאוזן ומאונך הם ניגודים. היא גם שייכת לנושא של השתקפויות, אבל השתקפויות הן תמיד אשלייה שמתייחסת למציאות
We had a Rock Band party at our place as we celebrated the first day of summer. Appropriately, the theme was tropical, featuring a sand covered balcony for the barbeque, a pina colada machine, and lots of Jello shots.
Venice themed dining marquee: sophisticated lighting, starlight ceiling, Carnevale masks and Venus di Milo table centrepieces are some of the ingredients that contribute to the magical look of this marquee.

This is an updated version of my previous upload of the same name
I just went browsing for some cool new wallpapers and found that black/white abstract pictures go really well with this theme so I figured I'd upload my desktop's 1.1 version of this theme (should probably figure out how to make a working installer file :P)
- The picture I used for the updated screenshot
- Another cool B/W abstract dye wallpaper and here's another one of the same kind but maybe a little less solid
These are the skins I've used for the theme:
Enigma [included with Rainmeter]:
- Launcher (under Taskbar) [tweaked via the "Enigma\Options" skin]
- Music (under Taskbar)
Macro Love's Obsidian skins:
- Drive
- Calender
- Clock
- Taskbar (under TextItems\Topbar\BG) [and this one has been tweaked to not fill the entire screen = "Edit skin", bottom part "h" = 80 and "w" = 1100 for my 1080p resolution]
- Wireless signal indicator (under Topbar\Addons)
- Weather (under Topbar\Addons)
- RAM (under Topbar\Addons)
- CPU (under Topbar\Addons)
- Recycle Bin (under Topbar\Addons)
- PowerButtons (under TextItems\Extra\PowerButtons)
My husband said she looks like Miss Piggy...but she is just a happy snow-lady wishing you all a very merry Happy Holidays!
Love is a Blue Gummy Bear!
A grandson gave me a bag of 'hand picked' candy for my birthday!
He knew I liked, WATERMELON, DOGS & the color BLUE and he quickly added, "and you call me Bear!"
Love it! Love him!

Siam Park is considered as the biggest theme park, as well as biggest water park in Southeast Asia, as well as the oldest water park in Thailand. Since 2007, the park owner has completed the construction of six new attractions: Vortex - the first hanging invented coaster in Thailand, Boomerang - the reverse roller coaster, Giant Drop - 75 metre free fall, Aladdin - the magic carpet ride, Siam Park Tower - 100-metre automatic observation tower, and Condor - the twister.
Siam Park City is an amusement park and water park located on Seri Thai Road and Khan Na Yao District on 300 acre. It was established in 1980. It has the biggest artificial sea in the world. Moreover, it has a spa, many sizes of swimming pool and a 7 storey water slide. This place is call to the Sea of Bangkok and its slogan is Siam Park… World of happiness enjoy unforgettable Siam park was opened 38 years ago in November 1975 by the founder Chaiwat Luangamornlert. His aim was and still is, to bring fun to Thailand and put a smile on children's faces. The park now has 2 million visitors a year from all over the world and has some of the largest rides in the region.
The park is set in 120 acres and is considered to be the largest theme and water park in Southeast Asia. The idea for the water park was to create an oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city, as although Thailand has lots of beaches there are none in Bangkok. The wave pool is now the largest in the world as certified by Guinness World Records and stretches an impressive 13,600 sq m and is the only man made beach in the city. The theme park originally started off with only a few rides, but over the years the owner has expanded and it now has over 30 different rides.
The park has recently been under complete renovation and since 2007 the park owner has completed the construction of new attractions: Vortex, which is 1 of the 2 worlds largest suspended looping roller coaster, Boomerang, Giant Drop, Aladdin, Si-AmTower, Condor, Top-spin, Mega Dance and the Log Flume. There are also four new rides due to be completed within the next year, which include Pony Express a new family roller coaster.
Siam Park is separated into three main zones, the water park ( Siam Lagoon ), the amusement park ( Siam X-treme ) and a learning park ( Siam Genius ). It also has the Pathfinder camp located inside the park. Siam Park was not the first amusement park in Thailand, the first one is Happy land at Bang-kapi then Magic Land near Central Lat Phrao, but it was closed due to the end of their land-rental contract, making Siam Park the oldest existing park in the country.
I visited Siam Park known locally as Suan Siam, on June 6th 2010. I was surprised at what I found. Many of the rides where on par with theme parks around the world. But again like Dream World. I found everything looking tired. However that said the park was a great day out. The water park in particular was pleasant and the surroundings very well laid out. But some of the food stalls need to address their hygiene. Fly’s landing on exposed food does nothing for the appetite! Not all the stalls had this problem.
Siam Water Park is the most popular zone in the park in my view, offering the perfect place to cool down and escape the busy city streets. With plenty of shaded seating, families often spend the entire day here, jumping in and out of the river that flows through the park, which also boasts the largest wave pool in the world, with small waves and shallow areas suitable for all ages, and a gentle slope to paddle in. For older people the Super Spiral is great fun, with slides weaving in and out, and great fun for anyone over the age of eight! For smaller kids there are mini slides, and for daredevils – the speed slide!
One item to consider, the park opens at 10.00 am but that is for people wanting to go directly to the Water Park, the rest of the park and rides do not open until 11.00 am. When I was visiting I found quite a few of the rides closed altogether, I guess for refurbishment.

This theme park has it roots in Chessington Zoo, which opened in 1931; it was started by Reginald Goddard, who had bought the estate to showcase his private collection of animals. In 1946 when Mr Goddard died, the Pearson Publishing Company took over the zoo and managed it until 1978, when the Tussaud Group took control of the park (Tussauds was a subsidiary of the Pearson Group). In 1984, due to the zoo's declining attendance, Tussauds´s Director of Development, Ray Barratt commissioned John Wardley to come up with plans to revitalise the park, and the decision was made to open an amusement park to complement the zoo, and so Chessington World of Adventures was born. The park opened with a new monorail, a powered coaster, log flume and a dark ride (all supplied by the German ride manufacturer Heinrich Mack GmbH & Co). The new rides were to operate on a pay-one-price admission basis, and replace the existing pay-as-you-go fairground rides. The monorail, named the Safari Skyway, opened early in 1986 to give the visitors a foretaste of the new attraction. "Chessington World of Adventures" opened as a theme park in 1987. The attractions were all heavily themed with emphasis on atmosphere and effects, meaning Chessington was one of the first true theme parks in Britain.
On 22 May 2007, The Tussauds Group was taken over by Merlin Entertainments Ltd, which owns other brands, including the Sealife Centre, and The Dungeons. This meant that Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and Madame Tussauds were also taken over as well. As a result of this purchase Merlin became the second largest entertainments operator in the world, ahead of Parques Reunidos and second only to Disney.
The park has a large selection of attractions. It also has over 1,000 animals, many of which can be seen from the Safari Skyway, an elevated monorail around the Zoo. Chessington has been in the same ownership as nearby Thorpe Park since 1998, and since 2007, Legoland Windsor.[1] Since Chessington World of Adventures and Thorpe Park are located within 20 miles of each other, its owner Merlin has made efforts to market the two parks to different age groups: Chessington World of Adventures is meant to appeal to children while Thorpe Park strives to thrill older thrillseekers.

124/365-"toys" theme weel(and for me Coca-Cola toys) It might be stretching it a bit to call cards a "toy" but oh well! not one of my best but it was fun to try and do, but man we(those are Mariellen's hands!) had a LOT of misses!! You know how hard it is to get cards from both sides falling in the same frame!! Jeesh!! and it was still kind of blah, so I threw a preset on it to try and spice it up!
