Japan’s dragons aren’t like the fire-breathing beasts of European folklore. Instead, temples and natural sites far to the south of Kyoto show the “reality” of these mythological deities. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/11/29/travel/dragons-myth-nara-temples/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #travel #temples #nara #dragons

Another Wednesday, another render. There isn't much story behind this image: I just had an idea of Yin and Yang-like dragons composition. Let me tell you that getting their poses just right was a pain, especially to make sure the details were clear enough.
No AI.

@mms Also it made possible to connect different people around the globe with different hobbies/passions/etc!
I wasn't be able to found a lot of #dragons , Linux/BSD folks, niche hobbyists, my local hackspace (and knowledge about hackspace culture at all), music, films, books, etc at all.
I remember life without the Internet and it was shit life — one source of information (government backed TV), few friends, some books, some video cassetes and thats all. A lot of hobbies were very hard to start because there are no necessary books in bookstores, necessary materials weren't sold in usual stores and you simply didn't know about specialized stores in town.
BTW, our government periodically make "days without the Internet" to "protect" "citizens". And it is bad days — all plans to meet with friends and to buy some food in stores became broken, because we can't plan anything reliable without the information about closing hours, street jams, can't order some food for party, etc.
Luckily, the #OpenStreetMap and downloaded maps in #OsmAnd saved me. But I can't even buy the water because all stores here connected to the Internet to check special "excise marks" (QR codes unique for each bottle to trace it's path from factory to the consumer, and every sold item should have updated record in the main store's DB becaue … there are big fines for selling some items — alcohol, cigarettes, water, food for childs, juice, etc — without these QR codes).
