Apotheose

Finally... our hero was at the end of his journey. He walked through a strangely illuminated tunnel and at the end he heard the faint, enchanting tune of a flute and saw a vague image. The image send him a wicked smile and whispered . . come closer my friend. You did not saw me but I was your guide at this island of Love and this is my realm. It does not belong to the goddess Aphrodite, but to me.. the God Pan. This island is my last retreat.... I am only a shadow of gods of the past and I dont chase nymphs anymore. I will tell you what Love is.. Love is a primitive force of nature. It can be heaven and it can be hell. It is like the thunder and the rain... like the falling snow and the shining sun. Capricious and unpredictable... wicked and sweet... it just happens and it will come and go... nothing is forever in this world. If you want it and look for it desparetely.. you will not find it. But still.. it can happen to you when you at least expect it. Love is to be find in the most strange places.. I showed you different aspects of Love here and you maybe have learned something of this experience. And if you learned nothing of it ...that is not bad either. There is no manual of Love... you have to go trough the experience by yourself. Farewell my friend.. it was a pleasure to wander with you on this island... ................................................................................................................................. Disclaimer: this serie was created entirely with photo's and brushes of my own. Except for the photos I used of two chesspieces, a (Pan)grotto and the little (Pan)temple. I hope you enjoyed it. The plan is to make a short movie of it, in the future. I will keep you informed. Thank you for your visits. ............................................................................................................................................. 13-2-2013, I have uploaded my movie. This is the url: http://youtu.be/Yl0OOd9c68k ...Enjoy the experience!
