Wonderful design! That sun has magnetic qualities, impossible not to get pulled right in.

Another beauty and another lovely blue. I love the curls in this - they lend it a delicate elegance without undermining the overall structure.

I'm finding it a bit disorientating, though. If that is the staircase, where exactly is the sun? It looks as though either the sun is in the ground or the staircase is upside down. Not that I wish to rule either possibility out, but it would be unusual. Now, if the temple is in outer space or orbiting, perhaps, I can make better sense of it. I admit this choice of site would create some barriers to access unless these are aliens pre-equipped for space travel and it is hard to see natural selection arranging that one. It might also run into planning difficulties. On the other hand, for a culture which worshipped the sun, such a location would make sense - a group of dedicated priests/priestesses/initiates/etc. could live up there serving the sun for a time or a lifetime... Hmm... Just a thought.

Great job.

It looks more like a coccoon than a stairway, but either way it's a great image. You must have the blues today.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

I find this one very mesmerizing - perhaps lulled by the warmth of the sun. A Fave :)
