Simploring 2017 (54) 16 Fields – Lichtbringer

Saturday, July 8th, I was up for simploring. I looked up the SL destination guide as well as the blogs that I follow but no pick did come across that tempted me spontaneously for a visit. I decided to have a look at LEA sims, as I know that by end of June some of them at least had to be given up in order to give other artists the opportunity to show their talent. This way I found 16 Fields and Lichtbringer. Lichtbringer is a German group of artists, namely Frau Wu aka Just (justmetrying) who is responsible for Management, PR and events of the group and Elektra (hangrod.hax) and Louis Wu (cyberklon) who both are responsible for ideas and make Meshes, scripting, lights and textures. Lichtbringer is a German composite word, literally it translates to “deliverers of light”. It could be interpreted religious but in this case it is supposed to be taken literally – delivering lights. The group works together on projects since 2015 and is mainly inspired by Mario2 Helstein. I just had and simploring post about Mario’s LEA installation “Light Thoughts 3” – read here). Lichtbringer has an own website – http://lichtbringer-sl.com/ where they anounce events and installations.

Their current LEA installation at LEA 26 is named 16 Flieds. They describe it as follows:

“The sim is divided into 16 fields. In these 16 Fields works from Lichtbringer like Meshes, Particles, Advanced Lights, and animated Meshes will be shown. In the center is a meeting point for all lightfanatics to meet, chat and have a coffee. The field contents will be changed every week. Stay informed about changes by joining the Lichtbringer Group. The sim has a wide field of contents changing randomly. Photographer-friendly spots are involved. And of course events will follow as well.

I zoomed my cam out so that you can see the structure with the 16 fields and the meeting point.

16 Fields is just a great sim to experience the possibilities of light and mesh in Second Life and for someone who likes taking pictures it is just perfect! Each picture that I took grabbed a moment of virtual reality and can’t be repeated again. I had lots of impressions and the next pictures just show some of them. I ended my visit going to the central meeting point where I saw Louis Wu (cyberklon). Unfortunately he was absent so I could just leave a message appreciating the great work. His avatar is a piece of art in itself!

I ended my visit with a selfie at the meeting point. I can just recommend that you visit 16 Fields and for sure attending one of the events from Lichtbringer is something to be considered. Thank you Frau Wu aka Just, Elektra and Louis Wu for your great and inspiring work!

Simploring 2017 (53) A piece of Ireland in Second Life

10 Jul 2017 1 Comment

Tuesday, July 4th, I went simploring. I looked up the Second Life Destination guide and selected the category Castles & Ruins and there Blarney Castle caught my attention: “Visit this 3D replica of the real Blarney Castle main tower in Ireland. There’s even a Blarney Stone kissing animation. Outside the castle entryway, you can even pick up your certificate indicating that you’ve kissed the Blarney Stone.” What’s that? As it is a replica of the real Blarney Castle main tower .. kissing a stone?
I looked it up on Wikipedia and yes .. “The Blarney Stone is a block of limestone built into the battlements of Blarney Castle, Blarney, about 8 kilometres from Cork, Ireland. According to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of the gab (great eloquence or skill at flattery). The stone was set into a tower of the castle in 1446. The castle is a popular tourist site in Ireland, attracting visitors from all over the world to kiss the stone and tour the castle and its gardens …..The ritual of kissing the Blarney Stone has been performed by millions of people, the kiss, however, is not casually achieved. To touch the stone with one’s lips, the participant must ascend to the castle’s peak, then lean over backwards on the parapet’s edge. This is traditionally achieved with the help of an assistant. Participants were grasped by the ankles and dangled bodily from the height. Although the parapet is now fitted with wrought-iron guide rails and protective crossbars, the ritual can still trigger attacks of acrophobia, an extreme or irrational fear of heights.”

After collecting this information I visited Blarney Castle in Second Life and I kissed the magic stone – and got the gift of gab. I hope that you’ll notice it!

What next? Is that all I could see here? I looked over the neighbourhood from the top of the Blarney Castle and saw a river and a little Irish town “O’Hare’s Gap” and decided to explore it. Actually I found out that Blarney Castle is a part of O’Hare’s Gap, that is described as a sleepy little Irish village providing a good look at rural Ireland. O’Hare’s Gap consists of four sims of residential and commercial choices, named Velbert, Wilde, Tabary and Toyah. And Blarney Castle is a part of O’Hare’s Gap.

After walking along the riverside with it’s stores I enjoyed the views and the Irish atmosphere of a small Irish town with many pubs and even a tourist info, where you get lots of information about what to see. Along with the points of interest you get not only a landmark but also background information. The other points of interest are:

O’Briens Tower at the Cliffs of Moher
O’Brien’s Tower was built in 1835 by Cornelius O’Brien as an observation point for the hundreds of tourists who even then, visited the Cliffs of Moher. The tower stands proudly on a headland of the majestic Cliffs of Moher. The Cliffs of Moher are Ireland’s most visited natural attraction. They stretch for 8km along the Atlantic coast in the west of Ireland and reach 214m at their highest point just north of O’Brien’s Tower.
The Tower in Second Life is again a quite detailed replica of the original but the Cliffs couldn’t be buildt in Second Life.

St. Columbas Church, Kells
The Abbey of Kells is a former monastery in Kells, County Meath, Ireland, 64 kilometers north of Dublin. It was founded in the early 9th century, and the Book of Kells was kept there during the later medieval and early modern periods before finally leaving the abbey in the 1650s. Much of the Book of Kells may have been created there, but historians cannot be certain of the exact date and circumstances of its creation. The present Church was built in 1778.
In Second Life a vesper service is provided each weekday night at 8:00 PM SL time (PST) by Friar Chim. The service is about 10 minutes long.
The gravesites next to the church are in memory of both SL and RL people who had an impact on our lives at O’Hare’s Gap.

Sarah’s Magic Kingdom (SMK)
SMK is a museum that offers a wonderful look at Walt Disney World along with a dedication to SL’s now closed sim, Mouse World. Enjoy the music and fun along with select attractions.

Other points of interest are:
Hanger 39 is O’Hare’s Gap entertainment venue for DJs, Dancing, and social Events.
O’Hare’s Gap Theater showing public domain movies
Malone’s Pub
O’Hare’s Realty Office provides the available stores and residential houses for rent
Sandalwood Park

After my visit to Blarney Castle and O’Brians Tower at the Cliffs of Moher, I had a look at the monastery just from outside and I visited the old chapel that is located in a skybox. Then I got just some more impressions of Sarah’s Magic Kingdom and of living in O’Hare’s Gap. It truely feels like Ireland (I’ve been there in RL). I also visited a private pub called Hunny’s Pub and I hope that I didn’t intrude someone’s privacy. I just couldn’t resist. Imagine me dressed in leather and latex in a rural Irish Pub – incredible but possible in Second Life!

I walked a bit around, collected more impressions and took an overview picture of the four adjacent sims that make O’Hare’s Gap.
O’Hare’s Gap is owned by Willy Sandalwood, the group has over 700 members and I was not all alone when visiting. There’s for sure a lot more to discover …. Second Life has really a lot to offer. Thank you Willy for this little piece of Ireland!

Diary 2017 (106) June 30th – July 3rd Quiet days in SL

08 Jul 2017 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Diary, Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Friday, June 30th, we had our Friday night party again and as always it was very relaxing and a great start into the weekend. From our family none but Mistress Jenny and I were present. Nonetheless we had nice chats and banter along with great music from Virgo as every Friday.

Saturday and Sunday were busy for me in RL and hence I was not online except late at night for a shorter time. Mistress Jenny and I enjoyed 2 quiet nights. Sunday, July 2nd, we met slave slut cecy and brought her to Domme a Domme. The slut couldn’t control herself and in particular she could not control her bladder. She peed on the floor there and had to lick up her own pee. Embarrassing! Mistress Jenny and I had fun nonetheless as we talked with others about or slave slut and we involved other bystanders. As slave slut cecy had been obedeient and had cleaned the house we took her to Psi’s realm and exposed her there, so that she can have some entertainment.

Monday, July 3rd, after this busy weekend in RL, “everyday life” in Second Life began again. In the afternoon I met with Mistress Jenny and she took me on a tour through our favourite clubs while we caught up, read profiles and made plans. At HBC we noticed Ron Taylor (enigma snook). I never met someone who claims that he has sold over 500 slaves, quite an amount. This quote it from his profile: “I sell captive slaves at HDSA for a living and I’ve been quite good at it. Top slaver more times than I can count over the last two years. Over 500 slaves sold to date. come to House Davidoff Slave Auction (HDSA) and buy yourself a toy to take home.” I grabbed the landmark and decided going there later.

Mistress Jenny had to leave and I stayed online for a bit and when I was about to logg off, slave Maddie came inworld. We had “lost” her Mesmerize Dungeon Thursday, June 29th. Time to pick her up. These days without being gagged and staying at Mesmerize Dungeon didn’t help to make her realize her fate. As opposed to she was more rebellious again. Hence I had to remind and teach her the basics once again. I intended to leave her outside at the patio without a gag, just leashed so that she could enjoy a bit more leeway. But slave Maddie seemingly insisted to be gagged and tied up stricter again by ignoring basics – and here we go, slave Maddie is tied up again. She will learn, just that she choose the hard way.

At night Second Life was very quiet for me, none of our slaves were present and I updated my closet and my inventory and couldn’t resist buying something new again. Then I had a look at House Davidoff Slave Auction (HDSA). I met Ron, who welcomed me and we chatted quite some time. Of course he noticed my slave collar and asked me about it. I told him that he shouldn’t let fool himself and that I’m owned by my mistress wife as well as that we both own a bunch of slaves and we might sell those we have no interest in anymore. From that moment he didn’t bring up this point anymore.

At House Davidoff Slave Auction (HDSA) you sell and buy slaves either for an hour of committment, then HDSA gets the whole revenue, or you do a so called silent auction for one week minimum, then you’ll get 60 % of the revenue. The place and Ron himself in particular looks quite professional and serious. Ron has a quite neutral and objective view on BDSM and D/s in Second Life. This is also expressed in his profile picks. It sounded quite reliable when he told me that he’s good in what he does. Hence if you want to sell off a slave, or allow them a particular experience or want to put yourself up to auction House Davidoff Slave Auction (HDSA) might be a place to consider for it. Ron also told me about other events at House Davidoff – there are some clubs and Ron took me over to one of them, the main club. He himself has nothing to do with it, they’re run by Mick Davidoff (coptional). Just next to the slave auction place is a board, where the next event is announced and where you can grab the landmark (the next event is July 22nd, 1 PM SLT)

That’s it about a first impression of House Davidoff.

I ended the night with a round through some clubs and met Kitty at Domme a Domme, we had a nice chat – and the picture shows my new dress, that I got that night. That’s about it for the diary.

Simploring 2017 (52) No Frontiers

For simploring Thursday, June 29th, I checked the Second Life Destination guide  and selected another LEA sim, LEA 16
“No Frontiers is an LEA immersive installation where you can pilot spacecrafts among large halls displaying high resolution sci-fi fractal frames by artist Gem Preiz. The trip will lead you to planets and stars after flying among colorful creations, surreal alien worlds and futuristic space bases.

Upon your landing you can grab 2 notecards with information about the art installation and about the artist Gem Preiz. There’s also a guide how to set your environment. Then you choose a vehicle, a space ship and begin your discovery. From the landing a tube leads into the isntallation itself, you fly through the tube to a box and at the wall you look at when you enter the box is a one high resolution futuristic science fiction picture, the box itself is filled with geometrical objects, which move and change and add another dimension to the picture at the wall. From the box another tube leads to the next box. I didn’t count the boxes, according to the notecard there’re 16. And each box is an expereince on it’s own. Flying the space ship is fun and getting these views was simply great. The journey ends in open space where planets and objects float in space.

No Frontiers by Gem Preiz is closed now unfortunately, I made it there on one of the last days. But once again I found a different way to present art and I learend about another artists playing with the possibilities of Second Life. Gem has a long list of exhibitions within Second Life and had several installations within the LEA program already. He’s educated in science and mathematics and and according to himself he enjoys the diversity of shapes and colors as a reflection of Nature’s one. Well, I can’t describe his work any better. No Frontiers was just great to see and I will look out for more art from Gem Preiz, thank you Gem!

No landmark this time as the installation is already closed unfortunately. I hope you got at least an impression of it by the pictures I took.

Simploring 2017 (51) Toxxland Bisexual Fetish Den

Thursday afternoon, June 29th, Mistress Jenny took me simploring, well more precisely kinkploring. We went to Toxxland Bisexual Fetish Den. Mistress had acquired the URL from a another Jenny, who gave her this and two other lacations. Toxxland is a bisexual hangout & play den and tagged with “FFM, MMF, BDSM, voice, Dominatrix, fetish, D/s, kink, sensual, gay cruising, voyeurism, public voice play, Domination, submission, Femdom, Daddy Dom, babygirl, DD/bg”


The tags describe the den quite well. It is a huge kinky place with quite many different rooms for differen kinks. There’s a lot of gear and bdsm furniture to use and there’re as well chairs and dancepole to watch during a kinky event. Other rooms contain games to wind down. The club is mainly coloured in red, which fits very well. Mistress Jenny and I had just a short visit and we walked through all rooms before I tried out a rack and Mistress Jenny joined and teased me.
Toxxland Bisexual Fetish Den is group owned, the group and the Fetish Den is owned by Teagyn Toxx. Voice play in local is encouraged. Join the group for announcements of voice play in session for those of you who enjoy voyeurism.


That’s it about this short visit. Thank you Teagyn for providing the den. I’m pretty sure that we will visit again.

Simploring 2017 (50) Follow Your Bliss (II)

29 Jun 2017 2 Comments

by diomitamaurer in Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , ,

I recently got a message that Follow Your Bliss has been closed for remodelling. Today, Saturday, June 24th, Follow Your Bliss was reopened. I was several times at Follow Your Bliss before and I wrote about it already twice, one time in 2016 (read here) and one time this year (read here) – hence this is the 3rd simploring blog post about Follow Your Bliss.

Follow Your Bliss is still “a place to relax, dream, breathe..” as it was before remodelling. But the character of the islands changed. Now it is a Japanese group of islands. The islands are all connected by land or by small brigdes and in the middle of the islands is a large laguna. The landing spot is in a modern Japanese style house, which is not yet furnished as the remodelling isn’t finished yet. I noticed a picture at the wall from Susan Mortonwold. It might be just a favourite of Sushi (elizabethnantes), who owns Follow Your Bliss, or it might be planned to exhibit more at – I don’t know.

Impressions of Follow Your Bliss remodelled (1)

As before you can explore Follow Your Bliss either on foot or with a boat, a Japanese boat of course. I explored on foot this time. Follow Your Bliss is a sim for dreamers, for those who love to sit and relax, to watch and observe or to mediate or to take pictures (what is my passion). And the Japanese style adds a bit of exotic to me as an European. There are some colourful bushes, pants and trees. The houses along the way are far enough apart from eachother so that you can enjoy some privacy when you sit on a terrace overlooking the laguna or the sea.

Impressions of Follow Your Bliss remodelled (2)

The character changes on the other side of the laguna. There are several houses, that are still empty. There’s a large barbecue site and several bars and small food stops. Then you can walk up on a hill and on its top is a big Buddha statue. Just some steps away is a tall Japanese Pagoda, that dominates this corner of the islands like a light house.

Impressions of Follow Your Bliss remodelled (3)

I ended my first visit to the remodelled Follow Your Bliss with a boat tour across the laguna. Form what I saw Follow Your Bliss is still the place to find some quietness and to relax as it was before although the character did really change. It’s new and unique. Thank you Sushi (elizabethnantes) for your work and for providing the sim to the public.

Simploring 2017 (49) Blue Orange

When I visited MetaLes..O..Art Virtual Space (read here) I saw among other art, the exhibition Melancholy by Ini (in.inaka). I got in contact with Ini and she proposed to see her last project: Blue Orange and she passed me the landmark to it.

Friday, June 23rd, I had the opportunity to visit Blue Orange. The landmark text describes Blue Orange as a friendly bohemian club for MUSIC and ART lovers. And it is! The landing is at a subway train station, that already contains quite a bit of art. I got welcomed “Hello to all and welcome at BLUE ORANGE bohemian underground club and art project 2, space around club may look tricky and easy to get lost, please use notecard with all locations(inside poster on wall), sure if also lazy to walk 😛 no pressure about advanced lights and WL, but it could help, lets have fun :-)”
I took the notecard, that contains landmarks to see the pieces of art at Blue Orange from Theda Tammas, Cica Ghost, Rebeca Bashly, Jarla Capalini, Gitu Aura, NicoleX Moonwall, In Inaka and Igor Ballyhoo. Blue Orange is group owned, the group was founded by Ini, hence I suspect, that it is Ini’s baby.

The Blue Orange Club

The landmarks in the notecard didn’t work for me, I just got teleported back to the landing point when using them. But you can as well explore Blue Orange without the landmarks. Blue Orange is a club, with exhibitions and pieces of art arranged around this really cozy and individually styled club. I read that every once in a while at Blue Orange there’ll be parties, cozy or crazy, simple or very messy or themed events as well – with some really exclusive Blue Orange music lovers or guest dj’s.

I explored the whole club and the current exhibitions. As with Ini’s exhibtion that I saw at MetaLes..O..Art Virtual Space, Blue Orange offers a different way to exhibit art, from classic exhibtions like those from Gitu Aura, NicoleX Moonwall and Jarla Capalini to art playing with light like Duality from Igor Ballyhoo, from single 3 D art like Great Escape by Rebeca Bashly to 3D art showing 3D statues within a labyrinth from Tehda Tammas, from just 2 pictures from Ini herself to the art installation of Cica Ghost “Rainy Day”. It is not that difficult finding the exhibition even without teleporting, you just have to find the stairways down and up from the club level. When you explore the exhibitions don’t miss to take the notecards that are offerend at some exhibtions and that will provide some more Information about the artists and about what you see.

I liked a lot what I saw. I think the concept is similar to MetaLes..O..Art Virtual Space, changing exhibitions from various artists, and various forms of art. Ini made a great job in realizing this art project. I did enjoy my visit to the fullest and got a lot of inspirations. Thank you, Ini, for providing the landmark but most of all for providing this space for the art within Second Life.

Simploring 2017 (48) Solstice Light Show

23 Jun 2017 2 Comments

Just recently I visited the light art installation Light Thoughts 3 and I published an entry about it here ). I was impressed.
I had a nice conversation with the two artists that realized the Light Thoughs 3 installation, Mario2 Helstein and Jo Williams, and I was invited to attend a Light Show on Saturday, June 17th.

Solstice Light Show!!
In celebration of the beginning of Summer
Special Light Show by Mario2 Helstein.
Theatre On The Hill 17th 1:00 pm slt
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Pure%20Luxury/60/231/3403

I was never at a light show like this before in my over 9 years in Second Life. It is incredible what this platform offers for artists and for us to watch. The Theatre On The Hill is a tribune in the form of a half circle that floats in the sky. I took a seat and watched. WOW. Accompanied by modern digital music Mario created a firework of lights and effects, of forms and colours, of rotating shapes, of exploding and imploding stars and objects. He stood in the middle of the stage, that was invisible because of the light effects, at his console and directed the show.

It was not a short show, Mario performed far over an hour for us. Amazing, beautiful, impressive – I lack of words. I took 130 (!) in this one hour, to capture the moment, the colours, but you can capture the experience of seeing it live. The pictures can’t show the motion, how the objects changed in form and colour, and how the light particles steadily were changing what you saw.

I can’t publish all 130 pictures here nor can I replace the live experience with pictures but you might get a little impression of the show. I strongly recommend that you visit the show itself. There will be another live performance on June 30th. You should join the group “[M2D] creations” to get a group notice about it. And there will be also another light show in September – I hope that I don’t miss it.

Thank you Mario for this great hour in Second Life. I really enjoyed it and am impressed.

Simploring 2017 (47) – LICK and Crystal Bay

20 Jun 2017 1 Comment

by diomitamaurer in Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , , , ,

Thursday, June 15th, we had a holiday in parts of Germany, Corpus Christi. I had a time for some simploring and decided to check some landmarks that I collected over time when standing or sitting in one of our clubs from profiles I read. First I visited LICK , accordinding to the description “an exclusive and private Fem Fashion & Style community, founded in the Fall of 2016 in New York City and a beautiful, safe space for fems to hangout, chat and meet.”

LICK is a huge spacious skybox club, with bar, sofa and chairs, dance floor, spotlights. Yes, it looks exclusive and luxurious. Through the windows you see the skyline of New York City. You can walk outside and sit on a large terrace that offers again enough space to sit. Unfortunately you look up into the blue sky and not at New York City skyline, something I would change. What differs LICK from any other club I saw so far is another large room adjacent to the club that is intented for fashion shows with a catwalk and tribunes for the guests. During my visit, I was all alone, most probably because in New York it was early morning. The board at the entrance invited to a party on Monday, June 12th, starting at 2 PM SL time (11 PM in central Europe).
From the impressions I got I assume that LICK is not a club, you go to to hang around (and read profiles for example *winks*), it’s more a club you visit for a fashion show or for a party. The group for the club has close to 200 members. LICK was founded by Yes Mode, thank you for providing the place.

Landmark to LICK

The second place I visited on my holiday tour was Crystal Bay , Lesbian D/s and RP Touring Resort, a women only sim. Crystal Bay was founded by Crystal Jestyr, who I saw at The Secret House and from her profile I had the landmark.

“We offer a D/s and RP themed destination to relax and enjoy your Second Life experience. Crystal Bay is an adult D/s and RP themed sim for women only. We feature over 700 meters high of winding, scenic endless mesh roads for you to ride and plenty of places to stop and explore, relax and play along your travels through Crystal Bay. We offer a sim wide MSM restraint system for Dommes and subs to enhance your D/s and RP experience.”
I landed at the large social area on the ground level. There’s a big board with the teleport destination, which makes traveling around easy. Right next to the landing lies a motor yacht at the starting point of a water race track. I took the motor yacht and drove once around the sim. It is the first time that I saw a racing track for motor boats in Second Life.
After my boat trip, I zoomed out to get an overview of Crystal Bay and I saw that it consists of several levels all connected by streets. The sim is a huge race track (700 meters high of winding, scenic endless mesh roads for you to ride). Quite close to the landing point you can rezz a free old Porsche and use it to further explore the sim. That’s what I did.

It is great fun as you can drive and drive and drive ….. and while you drive you see some of the sims attractions that you can also reach by the teleporter board. If you like driving or racing in Second Life, this is the place to visit! I’m pretty sure, that our Kitty will soon drive some rounds there. On the most upper level, I found another rezzer, this time for a bike and I exchanged “my” Porsche to a chopper bike. Unfortunately, I couldn’t unlock it (maybe because I didn’t join the group) and hence I could not adjust my seating position and more restricting, I could not change gears and stay in gear 1, which is really slow.
I had a great hour cruising around Crystal Bay. Thank you Crystal Jestyr.

Simploring 2017 (46) – Le Sixième Sens

18 Jun 2017 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , , , ,

Tuesday, June 13th, I made another simploring tour. Inara Peys’ blog “A sixth sense in Second Life” caught my attention as I was in the mood something just naturally peaceful.
Le Sixième Sens is French and means “The sixth sense”. The sim is designed by Yeiyaiel and Natacha Haroldsen, they are partnered in Second Life. Le Sixième Sens is the home of the Knicks Knacks mainstore, which is owned by Natacha Haroldsen. The shop offers design buliding elements and other stuff for interior and exterior decoration. You land exactly in front of the main entrance of this shop. I had a quick look around and yes, there’s some stuff that really looks nice.

The Knicks Knacks mainstore is the biggest building of the Tuscan village and dominating the market court. There are some other smaller store at the court, smaller stores, like boutiques that you would expect there, so the village is also a place to shop.

Le Sixième Sens consists of three islands, the village is on the main island. The seccond largest island is farmland. On it’s one end is a ruin with same nice places to sit and cuddle. And there’s the broken lighthouse that I saw on another sim already. That fits well to the ruin. Besides the farm there’s wine and a lovely house on the top of the vineyard. The smallest island is more or less just a rock with a little house on it’s top, that is used as an artist’s workshop.

Le Sixième Sens is beautiful and pitoresque. The pictures i took look like watercolour, amazing. It is as if you were walking and sitting in a picture. I can’t express is any better than Inara did in her blog entry “Le Sixième Sens retains a wonderfully relaxed feel, offering the kind of setting you hope to find whilst travelling on vacation; a place that calls on you to stop, explore, run your fingers lightly over the delicate curl of flower petals and watch the water slip slowly under bridge and bough.”

Thank you Natacha Haroldsen and Yeiyaiel for providing this spot of Mediterrean peace to all of us.
