Thoughtful Journeys

Thoughtful days and thoughtful jorneys, our lives takes us all kinds of places and we cherish the company as well as the serenity of being alone.  My travels today took me do a beautiful place, it was a place of art and beauty and i was joined by my good friend Elotte who always manages to know the best places to visit in SL. Although his mood was very melancholic we sill managed to enjoy a good part of the evening just looking around the different exhibits they had to offer. 

We were both struck by this beautiful picture of a little pink haired girl, its called 'Virgin & Child' i don't recall the artists name but this painting was carefully placed amid the array of different shrubs and flowers, close by was a ticking clock and up in the branches was a baby in the womb.  It was very thought provoking and i remained looking round the exhibit for some time.

Moving on we visited the strange kind of shacks on an abandoned isle exhibit, we ran across the shallow water that surrounds all the islands with its green, mossy bottom and up onto the sand where a lone figure of a lady stood.  We stopped by close to her but she never spoke, she seemed lost in thought somehow...not sure if she was part of the art or not.  We stopped close to a shallow part of water where this picture was taken...

The light was from the candle on my bag.

The flowers were so beautiful that had grown in thickness surrounding the old cottage, the sunlight filtered through the tress and highlighted each and every colour, it was truly lovely to see and walk through.  Once you get into the actual cottage its quite topsy turvy with one room having odd mirrors that seem to distort eveything, in the far corner is an old desk with a knocked over chair, it had all the feel of an old abandoned house, i loved it.

'A peaceful moment to ponder'

We wondered about the artist easel on the dock of what seemed to be an overgrown greenhouse.  Inside were two rocking chairs that if you sat in it, it made you look like a crazy person rocking back and forth.  But the easel seemed odd, the pose on the chair was a very sad looking one, the artist looked lost and forgotton, his canvas is empty as if he is struggling to relay some memory gone onto it...it was very though provoking once again, same with the while sim.  I really enjoyed it and would certainly go back and take a friend...very interesting place!
