There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.

The man who lies asleep will never waken fame, and his desire and all his life drift past him like a dream, and the traces of his memory fade from time like smoke in air, or ripples on a stream.

Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
Justice the founder of my fabric moved:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I shall endure.
All hope abandon, ye who enter here.

Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy

This picture was created in Mandelbulb and PhotoShop.

Instead of seeing Pink Elephants, some, when looking at intoxicating creations, see cheese.
Is that so wrong?

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫

I've decided to take the "glass half full" view of this image, Dante notwithstanding.

Rather than the entrance to Hell, I see it as the exit from.

Love the colors and composition of this one, John.

The colors chosen are riveting, your imagination is beyond measure. You really should have your own art gallery, and travel the world for all to view. Stunning work, excellent text, again, original and breathtaking. Favorite.

This reminds me of my kids playing with Lego when they were little and one came along and broke the others' creation...great 3D and vibrant color combo.

I thought yesterday was supposed to be the first day of the rest of my life but it turns out today is. (Steve Martin)

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
