Whimsical 19th century with the romantics and the industrial revolution. As a fan of steampunk and Queen Victoria, time travel and epic adventures, I pay tribute to the creator of this time machine.

“One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.”
― Carl Sagan
While comuning with the beings, Kalani and the Halkan find that this unknown race have watched the Halkan planet for centuries from afar as their numbers dwindled and they faded into the cosmic sea. These three were the last. Seeking out and finding the source meant that the Halkans showed hope and promise for a better way, finally reaching a level of development in which these custodians could help.
It is their last act to send Kalani back through the temporal displacement barrier to her time. The Halkan returns to his war torn world with the wisdom to inspire and usher in a lasting era of peace and non-violent neutrality that Halka II is known for in Kalani's time.
The sword is taken back to Halka II where it is melted down as a symbolic act of dissolving conflict, and reconstructed into items held by members of the newly created Halkan council.

A story is only good if it’s made up
but convinces you it’s true.
Even better if one of the characters
is someone who could be you.
How else do you know who you are?

Die Engelsburg (italienisch Castel Sant’Angelo oder Mausoleo di Adriano) in Rom wurde ursprünglich als Mausoleum für den römischen Kaiser Hadrian (117–138 n. Chr.) und seine Nachfolger errichtet und später von verschiedenen Päpsten zur Kastellburg umgebaut. Seit 1901 wurde das Gebäude nicht mehr als Burg verwendet. Seit dem 13. Februar 1906 ist die Engelsburg ein Museum.
The Castel Sant'Angelo (Italian: Castel Sant'Angelo or Mausoleo di Adriano) in Rome was originally built as a mausoleum for the Roman Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD) and his successors and was later converted into a fort by various popes. The building has not been used as a castle since 1901. Castel Sant'Angelo has been a museum since February 13, 1906.
Relying on each other Kalani and the Halkan knight are able to find their way out of the cave and begin to search in earnest. Upon finding the source they are surprised by the appearance of 3 ethereal orbs of light. The truth is revealed that the planet of Halka II had been watched by an advanced species that had crashed there a millennia before, realizing that their presence was hindering the Halkans the beings had only enough energy to relocate to the moon. On Halka their presence faded with time and they became nothing more than myths and fables.
Time stands still
A memory come and gone
Reaching for a future, then time moves on
Distancing from the past
Instant acceptance
Sanctity at last

Castlerigg Stone Circle was built around 4,500 years ago in the Neolithic times. It is one of the earliest stone circles in Britain and has magnificent views over the surrounding fells.

The Praying Mantis is an incredible blessing for gardeners and farmers thanks to its mammoth appetite for plant-destroying pests.
The Praying Mantis was discovered in the United States in 1899. It came from Europe likely via trade transports across the Atlantic. They are highly recognizable creatures, mainly because of their odd shape. Their bodies are relatively large and long with four legs at the abdomen area and two larger legs that appear more like arms. The large Praying Mantis (not 'Preying' although it does that very well) got its name from these two forelegs. When resting, these front legs are held in a way that makes them seem folded in prayer. Those powerful front legs are able to hold down an insect as the mantis eats it alive. The mantis' mouth parts are capable of cutting through the tough exoskeleton of insect prey. They come in a variety of colors, ranging from bright green to dark brown. Like all mantises, or mantids as they are also called, the female is larger than the male, especially in the abdomen. They are hefty insects and females are unlikely to fly because their wings are not able to hold their weight very well. Females can use their wings to scare off would-be predators by fanning them open while raising their 'arms'. The pose startles some predators away, saving the mantis. Smaller males can and do fly. After mating, females have been known to eat the male after reproduction, but that does not always happen. Both genders have binocular vision; one eye can look in a different direction from the other. They appear to have tiny pupils, but those black dots are actually photoreceptors reflecting no light colors. These pseudopupils give an observer the impression of being watched.
Females lay their flat, seed-shaped eggs on a twig in autumn. The freshly laid eggs are then coated with a hard foam that helps the eggs maintain moisture during dry winters, and deters birds and other insects from bothering them as well. In spring, the eggs hatch and pale nymphs, shaped like miniature adults, emerge and immediately begin feasting on smaller insects and sometimes each other.
Mantids are extremely beneficial in gardens. They eat a large volume of pest insects and can be a farmer or gardener's best friend because they help remove infestations of wasps and beetles. A Praying Mantis and even unhatched eggs can be purchased in the spring and released onto a plant in a garden in order to head off any pests that arrive before summer. Larger species of the Mantid family have even been known to eat frogs, lizards, and hummingbirds.
Catching a glimpse of a Praying Mantis is a special thing, but leave it where it is if it has not flown away. It does a great service for growers and is a benefit to the ecosystem. Consider just admiring them, and capture only with a photograph.

Another blur effect done in Elements 15. I use a layer mask and with a Bamboo Tablet pen away the subject and or add blur back again. Tedious but somewhat fun.
These times seem unclear. Maybe this is an easy virus and future ones may be worse so I am thinking just get used to the safety we need to take.
Happy Slider Sunday

Captain's log, stardate 6102.1. While investigating a distress call from a star cluster in the Protari system our ship, the U.S.S. Constitution and its crew, were pulled into a mysterious tractor beam. All data shows that we've somehow been transported to another dimension.
Myself, Captain Jezebel Kraai along with Science Officer Cidni Starchild, Chief Engineer Harper Blackwood, and Lieutenant Moran have set foot on what appears to be a post apocalyptic world. The surface appears to be like our own Earth and so far we're reading no life forms.
Could this be Earth and could we have somehow traveled back in time? Is this the year 2231, just after the first nuclear strikes of World War III? I will update when we have more data. Kraai out.
I appreciate these wonderful ladies and fellow artist for helping me out on this one. It's been a long time coming as this shot was actually taken this past May.
I was sort of baffled about what I wanted to do with this capture then decided to do a fantasy composite with it. So this is my first try at this sort of thing. I hope you guys find it at least adequate. Thanks!♥
This the 4th capure I inducted to the In Good Company Erotica Gallery for their October show.
The gallery is owned and operated by my friend Marcus Strong. Thank you so much Marcus for the oppotunity.♥

I am in Rome! Oft as the morning ray Visits these eyes, waking at once I cry, Whence this excess of joy? What has befallen me? And from within a thrilling voice replies, Thou art in Rome! A thousand busy thoughts Rush on my mind, a thousand images; And I spring up as girt to run a race!

What you see is the Sint Josef Church in Kastel. This view is so authentic that it feels as if you look back in time towards 1750, as if time stood still. Shot made in the northern part of Belgium, not far from the mouth of the river into the North Sea.
