Amanda Lee: That terrain looks gorgeous! yesterday
identity verified by microsoft we release a new version of Peepski screenshot / video capture tool properly signed. should theoretically be easier to install :) smartscreen will likely still complain a little AFAIK microsoft doesn't green light until there have been a gadzillion installs. but that's my memory could be froggy.
Gyazo is maybe back up? there's now a note about the hack and says service will be unavailable with an update to be posted sept 29 however it looks like the service _may_ be functional now? i haven't tried.

Debbie Phoenix: Gyzao is working again, i been using it today, alternatives are always a good thing though. 2 days ago

🚛 NEW PHYSICS DEVELOPMENT AT OPENSIM NETWORK 🚛
We’ve been hard at work improving our truck hitch physics system inside OpenSim Network — and the results are looking better than ever.
Our updated system now delivers:
✅ Smooth trailer following
✅ More natural turns
✅ Improved hitch connection behavior
✅ Realistic jackknife motion
✅ Better overall truck + trailer articulation
This is another step forward in our mission to build a more advanced OpenSim experience focused on vehicles, gameplay, physics, and immersive interaction.
At OpenSim Network, we’re not just building regions — we’re building systems that bring movement and realism to life.
More developments are on the way as we continue testing and refining Nexa Physics for future vehicle experiences across the grid.

avirtualworld.org:8002/AVW Welcome

Dear Friends,

I have planned this day for weeks. I have made a description without personal details.
I am preparing a set out of my music collection that is a bit of a wild mix and ride through different styles of music.
Feel free to jump in anytime. I know there are lots of other parties going on.
If I could I would love to visit them also...


􀀁 - your space shuttle


􀀂 - the turning wheel


􀀃 - the witch

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mabon Celebration
The animals on my picture:
🐘 The Elephant — Memory, Wisdom, Abundance

The elephant represents memory, life experience, strength, and community . In your image, it feels like a large, calm protective presence in the background.

That fits Mabon particularly well:

We look back at what has grown and acknowledge what has carried us.

The little sign hanging from the elephant is also interesting:

FREEDOM · CREATIVITY · HEART SPACE

This almost turns the elephant into a guardian of your three central values .

🐆 The Black Panther — Strength, Independence, the Unseen

The panther brings a completely different energy: instinct, self-determination, inner strength, and the ability to move through darker phases .

It is lying there calmly. It does not need to prove anything.

That fits beautifully with the transition from the light half of the year into the darker season:

Not everything has to be fought. Some things are allowed to return to the darkness.

đŸș The Wolf — Community and the Individual Path

The wolf is particularly interesting because it represents both community and individuality .

It belongs to the pack — while remaining an individual creature.

That connects directly with your word:

COMMUNITY

Mabon is also a celebration of sharing, community, and gratitude for what has been created together .

🧾 The Teddy Bear — The Inner Child

The teddy bear is, of course, not a Celtic symbol historically. But within your personal image , it serves a different purpose.

It represents:

comfort
security
vulnerability
playful creativity
the desire to protect something precious

And that creates a beautiful contrast with the large, wild animals.

The woman is holding the bear for a reason : between the panther, wolf, and elephant there is something remarkably gentle.

đŸ‘© The Woman in the Center

Actually, she is the connecting element.

She sits between:

Panther – Bear – Wolf – Elephant

and therefore between instinct, vulnerability, community, and wisdom .

That makes the image much more interesting than simply a “fantasy autumn scene.”

🍂 And the Fruits in the Foreground?

The pumpkins, apples, grapes, nuts, and grain are actually the clearest Mabon references for me:

Harvest → Abundance → Gratitude → Sharing → Transition

And that is why your subtitle

LAST FAMILY MEETING

works so well: it transforms the scene from merely an autumn celebration into a kind of last gathering together before the changing of the season .

The symbolism of the whole image

If we read the entire image as a symbolic language, it could be summed up like this:

🐘 Remember
🐆 Be strong
đŸș Belong
🧾 Stay tender
🍂 Give thanks
🔄 Turn the wheel

That, in my view, is the stronger interpretation than trying to assign supposedly “original Celtic” meanings to every animal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The turning wheel of animals:

🐘 Der Elefant – Erinnerung, Weisheit, FĂŒlle

Der Elefant steht fĂŒr Erinnerung, Lebenserfahrung, StĂ€rke und Gemeinschaft . In deinem Bild wirkt er wie eine große, ruhige Schutzfigur im Hintergrund.

Das passt besonders gut zu Mabon:
Wir schauen zurĂŒck auf das, was gewachsen ist, und erkennen an, was uns getragen hat.

Interessant ist auch das kleine Schild an ihm:

> FREEDOM · CREATIVITY · HEART SPACE

Damit wird der Elefant fast zu einem HĂŒter deiner drei zentralen Werte .

🐆 Der schwarze Panther – Kraft, UnabhĂ€ngigkeit, das Unsichtbare

Der Panther bringt eine völlig andere Energie hinein: Instinkt, Selbstbestimmung, innere StÀrke und die FÀhigkeit, durch dunklere Phasen zu gehen .

Er liegt sehr ruhig da. Er muss nichts beweisen.

Das passt hervorragend zum Übergang vom hellen zum dunkleren Teil des Jahres:
Nicht alles muss bekĂ€mpft werden. Manche Dinge dĂŒrfen einfach in die Dunkelheit zurĂŒckkehren.

đŸș Der Wolf – Gemeinschaft und eigener Weg

Der Wolf ist besonders interessant, weil er gleichzeitig fĂŒr Gemeinschaft und IndividualitĂ€t steht.

Er gehört zum Rudel – und bleibt trotzdem ein eigenstĂ€ndiges Wesen.

Das passt zu deinem Text:

COMMUNITY

Mabon ist schließlich auch ein Fest des Teilens, der Gemeinschaft und der Dankbarkeit fĂŒr das, was gemeinsam entstanden ist .

🧾 Der TeddybĂ€r – das innere Kind

Der TeddybĂ€r ist historisch natĂŒrlich kein keltisches Symbol. Aber in deinem persönlichen Bild erfĂŒllt er eine andere Funktion.

Er steht fĂŒr:

Trost
Geborgenheit
Verletzlichkeit
spielerische KreativitÀt
das BedĂŒrfnis, etwas Wertvolles zu bewahren

Und genau dadurch entsteht ein schöner Kontrast zu den großen, wilden Tieren.

Die Frau hÀlt den BÀren nicht zufÀllig in den Armen: Zwischen Panther, Wolf und Elefant befindet sich etwas ausgesprochen Sanftes.

đŸ‘© Die Frau in der Mitte

Eigentlich ist sie das verbindende Element.

Sie sitzt zwischen:

Panther – BĂ€r – Wolf – Elefant

und damit zwischen Instinkt, Verletzlichkeit, Gemeinschaft und Weisheit .

Das macht das Bild viel interessanter als eine bloße „Herbst-Fantasy-Szene“.

🍂 Und die FrĂŒchte vorne?

Die KĂŒrbisse, Äpfel, Trauben, NĂŒsse und das Getreide sind fĂŒr mich sogar der eindeutigste Mabon-Hinweis:

Ernte → FĂŒlle → Dankbarkeit → Teilen → Übergang

Und genau deshalb funktioniert dein Untertitel

> LAST FAMILY MEETING

so gut: Es macht aus der Szene nicht nur eine Herbstfeier, sondern tatsÀchlich eine Art letzte gemeinsame Zusammenkunft vor dem Wechsel der Jahreszeit .

Wenn man das ganze Bild als Symbolsprache liest, könnte man es so zusammenfassen:

> 🐘 Remember
> 🐆 Be strong
> đŸș Belong
> 🧾 Stay tender
> 🍂 Give thanks
> 🔄 Turn the wheel

Das ist meiner Meinung nach die stĂ€rkere Interpretation als zu versuchen, jedem Tier eine angeblich „original keltische“ Bedeutung anzudichten.
