after a whole week of cruddy weather, today dawned with brilliant sun and -13C (8.5F). perfect timing!
Elysium is an obscure and mysterious name that evolved from a designation of a place or person struck by lightning, enelysion, enelysios.[1] Scholars have also suggested that Greek Elysion may instead derive from the Egyptian term ialu (older iaru), meaning "reeds," with specific reference to the "Reed fields" (Egyptian: sekhet iaru / ialu), a paradisaical land of plenty where the dead hoped to spend eternity. Biblical scholars have suggested that Elysion may derive from Elisha, who was, according to Genesis, a son of Yawan (Iouan, forefather of the Ionians) and one of the ancestors of the Greeks. Elisha may have been worshiped as a god by his earliest descendants. |

| Wonderful mist, I can see where you are going by trying to exemplify what the general perceived vision of heaven is by all those religious types.. so I am making the connection there.. its a hard challenge to nail, you made a good effort. 7 |

| "They say there's a place for those who are good. . .with Pearly Gates swinging wide open. . . ." One of my favorite songs in the whole world -- painting a picture of Elysium. I love your illustration of it! Beautiful! |

| Very powerful, I like it. The edges of the sun's reflection seem to overpower and take away from the (animals?) off to the right though. Where was this taken? |
