New World Tableau: Luna Zolnir at Victorianna Castle

Luna's "Princess Watching over Her Castle" was taken at Victorianna "a magnificent place" (SLURL teleport at this link) and will be an entry in the Cannery Rezzable Gallery's upcoming show. "The description of my picture goes: 'I fly away to Moorish castles and almond trees,'" she writes. "'Crickets are getting ready for their nightsong while a lonely gull cries out the end of the day. A ship is approaching the coastline.'"  Of her prodigious screenshot work, she says, "I mean to capture the moment, the beauty, the emotion that I see around me, be it in Second life or in my mind, and I try to enhance the effect it had on my retina by using Photoshop.

"I’m thrilled by places where I can fantasize away, forests, old castles, islands or places near the ocean, mountains, snowscapes, anything that makes me escape and send me on journey away from reality for a brief time. I always strive for harmony, maybe as a compensation for my own chaotic mind."
