Inspired by the stars - WE# 81

Are you ready to gaze up into the stars and join our first author while exploring the acrylic paints and dreamy outback? This is one simple and efficient way to see an artist's perspective and stay in the moment while picturing the perfect future.

For the past week or so I had this urge to use my acrylic paints. Perfect, I thought, for the coming long weekend. On Christmas Eve I started with the initial sketch and then moved on to the first acrylic paints on Christmas Day. Today I finished the painting.

Naturally, I placed Galen into the Australian outback not that it is where he lives but he is an Aussie so... We have a dead tree, open grass/dirt land, and, of course, Uluru and, Galen and his campfire under a 'canopy of hundreds of thousands of stars'.

Here is the list and reviews of 10 games you will love during the holiday season. There is something interesting to be found in each one and Kealizec made sure to point out the best things you need to know.

I don’t know about you but for me, Christmas is always a time of peace, calmness, and friendliness… full of brutal digital violence.

If that’s something you’d like to consider doing during Christmas here’s the list of the best Christmas videogames!

Photography Lovers End of Year Contest

Dalegribble shows us the progress and adventures in one year that could have been spent inside, but instead, there were places to be seen and photos to be taken. Join us as we discover the unique talent of this author and make sure to follow for more.

2021 has been an interesting year full of challenges but ultimately I feel like for myself it's been a catalyst for good & I appreciate that I managed to get out on a couple of trips between lockdowns & travel restrictions.

This trip was a breakthrough for my post-processing as well. For some time, I've been investing in tutorials and working on my post-processing skills and this was the first time I felt like everything clicked and I could actually show in the final image what I originally intended in my mind.

The Prophecy Of The Kings

Take a few moments to enjoy this amazing and creative fiction story written by Wrestlingdesires. The characters might sound familiar but the lines leave us wanting more.

All three of the men were powerful kings, each ruling peacefully over a mighty nation. But they were unlike any rulers their people had ever seen. They were also "wise men", meaning that they had dreams which could sometimes predict the future.

Surely there would be other challenges ahead, but all would come together as it had been decided that it should, before time began. The three kings rode on, the heavenly light dictating their route.

Sea mustard vegetable with tempeh and bean sprouts

Delicious food is all around us, you just need to know where to look. This is exactly what Maytom did and made one healthy and green dish with local ingredients. Who knew cooking can be so adventurous.

Yesterday when we visited one of the beaches in Aceh City, precisely at the beach at the end of Lokhnga, we found so much grass growing which the local people named Sawi Laut.

That's my simple dish in the middle of our vacation with all the limited facilities, the important thing is that this menu is cooked with love and tastes good for the two of you to enjoy with your husband.
