Crown Jewel ~ inspired by the Taj Mahal, which is often referred to as / ‘Poetry in Stone’ The History of Lost Love / Shah Jahan of the Mogul dynasty was yet to accede the throne when he heard about the unsurpassed beauty of Mumtaz. He took Mumtaz as his third wife in 1612. For the next 18 years Shah Jahan and Mumtaz were inseparable. Shah Jahan took his wife along on every journey and war campaign. Over the years Mumtaz came to be his best friend, his critic and a canny political adviser. Mumtaz was expecting their 14th child when Shah Jahan embarked on a campaign against the Lodhi Empire in 1631. In the heat of the Indian summer, the army traveled to the Deccans. Mumtaz, who had accompanied the emperor, went through a rigorous childbirth. She died in Burhanpur. On her deathbed, she asked her husband to promise her that he would build a monument to their love. Legend has it that he locked himself in his room for eight days without food after Mumtaz passed away. After burying Mumtaz temporarily in Burhanpur, Shah Jahan went about constructing the Taj Mahal in right earnest. He summoned the best architects and artisans from far away lands like Multan, Kannauj, Lahore, Iraq and Persia. He arranged for the best marble from all around. It took 22 years, 22,000 people, 400 elephants and 32 million rupees to build the Taj Mahal. The result: an awe-inspiring structure, which is one of the most globally recognized symbols of grace and beauty. The Magnificent Monument / Built on a raised, square platform it is as tall as a 20-storey building. You enter through an imposing gateway. The complex consists of an elaborate garden set in the typical charbagh style, a mosque, a guesthouse and several other charming buildings. The mausoleum itself stands at the farthest end of the complex, right along the Yamuna River. The signature central dome (58 ft in diameter and 213 ft high) is truly magnificent and is echoed in the smaller domed chambers on all sides. The four slender minarets that rise from the corners of the mausoleum complete the picture of symmetry. The undisputed majesty and beauty is further reflected in the exquisite artistry created by inspired artisans from Baghdad, Shiraz and Bukhara. Exquisite floral patterns and calligraphy on both the exterior and interior were inlaid with precious stones such as jasper and agate. Quotations from the Koran were etched into stone archways; a pinnacle was set on the central dome; and thus came to life the most splendid resting place a lover could ever hope to find on this planet! By Ravi Kunjithai / Beautiful intricate abstract design bursting forth in hues of light blue and gray, yellow / orange, and even a hint of rose, all interspersed with lovely metalic golds.

In astrophysics, a wormhole is a topological feature that connects two regions in spacetime. It is essentially a shortcut through space and time, which means that it would allow travel in time as well as in space. Here starts your journey to the past.

Another try at a landscape using Apophysis fractals in layers. My daughter Leoni nagged me to upload it, so here it is.

This fractal strongly reminds me of Roman Aqueducts, as can be seen in the Italian landscape. It´s the begin of summer, so the colors are still fresh and green. And on top of the hill, over the Aqueduct, stands a Roman temple. Made with FractalExplorer.

Swifter and swifter the White Ship sped / Till she flew as the spirit flies from the dead: / As white as a lily glimmered she / Like a ship’s fair ghost upon the sea. / / The White Ship – D.G. Rossetti

I don’t anticipate travelling there but you never know!

“Time for some hyperspace action, baby!” The space cowboy exclaimed. In epic language: “To the stars we channel our existence… Through the gateways we shall exist forever.” I hope I achieved the effect of getting lost in something immense because that’s the idea. Work done with Chaoscope and a lot of Photoshop, using like 20 layers and summing up a huge 300+mb file. My hard drive still begs me for mercy. It’s also the first work that looks like a “Panorama” with its ludicrous 4500×2500 resolution.

Doesn´t everybody want to visit New York? I thought the famous Manhattan skyline should appear in our fractal travel collection. Made with Fractal Explorer, which has a nice function to render a picture in big, cubic blocks, ideal for architecture.

Did some new pyramids for the new theme :-) / So Egypt is on our virtual fractal voyage now.

“Here’s the traffic, sponsored by AstroGlide Oil Treatment. ‘AstroGlide is on your side!’ “Major incident to report, interstellar commuters, and it has traffic backed up for L-years both Vector 180 Eastbound and Vector 360 Westbound, at the 4-way intersection of Veinus Argent and Arterial Zaphod. The usual heavy 60/180 traffic appears to have met with a refueling barge rather physically and the barge is adrift around the intersection, tossing off serious radiation in approximate Vector 20 and fatal – repeat, FATAL – radiation in approximate Vector 47. All traffic planned for those vectors is STRONGLY advised to reapply direction matixes IMMEDIATE to avoid radioactive contamination at the least and certain death at the worst. With GravPull from at least one Class 1 Source, it appears the stream will maintain a heading of approximate Vector 47 – Vector 50, disipating harmlessly with proximity to that sun but there are no guarantees from THIS reporter. The location is BIGTIME hot, commuters and may stay that way for at least the next IDL hour until crews can either tow off the deadly wreckage or contain it with one of several new techniques being employed for such emergencies these days. “Currently, that’s the only major incident on the vectors and, tho it’s a bad one, the rest of the commute is free and clear voyaging. This traffic message was courteously brought to you by AstroGlide Oil Treatment. ‘AstroGlide is on your side!’
