Weird, huh?
Hello … anybody around?
Just got back home Mac.
Oddly enough there is some familiarity in some of these "plants".
Mind you, Avatar is another movie have never seen, so I do know know if some connection exists between these images and anything in the movie.
I encourage you to see the movie; it's worth your time.
The movie was absolutely spectacular...haven't been to Disney's A.K. in years (since It's a Bugs Life).
Your work, really your life's passion, is inspiring as ever! So appreciate the talent of artisians.
Thanks, Lynne; always good to see you.
You as well Mac...you provide a much needed respite on this platform!
Although I'm quite chill having taken in Sedona for the last couple days. Between nature, artistic man, culinary delights and several bottles of red wine...life is good, great actually. Fortunate to be living the retirement we dreamed and prepared for 😊
Chongqing, where I live, has tropical areas within a short walk that are a bit of a taste of Avatar (a movie I enjoyed watching) - half a dozen examples:
Beautiful compositions! And they do have a "Pandora" feeling.
I saw the movie Avatar and loved it. I used to take my Grandchildren to Disneyland every year for a week stay when they were small, but, have not been there for 20 years or so now.
My first trip to Disneyland was in 1959 with my parents and Brother. I loved the Native American village and canoe rides that were there at the time, and the Matterhorn was just debuting, with the ice arena and skaters, and the mountain climbers doing their thing for TV. I still have the booklet from that day, and enjoy going through it now and then. Over the years many things have changed, yet, many have stayed the same.
I have one of these:
They tell me it's called it a weeping willow....the no lights version. I was being cheap at the time.
Loved the movie.

What is interesting … is the morphological resemblance between the "fantasy" ecosystems and organisms in the film Avatar, the Land of Pandora … and those of reality, that is, of the Earth.
Certainly, these resemblances were by design with the intent of making Pandora's biosphere simultaneously a "fantasy" while "plausible" in terms of Earth's biosphere.
Good analysis.
