For my Freestyle Collage No. 55, my theme is "worship". Six travelers, all friends, set out on an excursion. They came to see for themselves the majestic nature of the sun goddess. The mysterious enclave provided the perfect site to glimpse the enormous statue situated in waters nearby. They trekked down to the shore.
Questions swirled as to the circumstances of her being there. A brown carved statue of a female with horns on her head. Empty eye sockets set prominently on her face stared up at the heavens. Did she commit a crime against the supreme god? Was this her punishment to be banished from above?
Debris floating around her that consisted of a skill and skeletal remains of a body peaked their curiosity.
The team of amateur archeologists studies the carvings. They captured the statue and surrounding area on camera. Documenting the surrounding area, they carefully compared notes for further research.
The trip was worth the expensive price of the sightseeing cruise.
In preparing my theme, I used three amazing pure fractals I felt would enhance the theme.
For the statue, I located a unique one I felt would bring mystery to the scene.

Para mi collage de estilo libre nº 55, mi tema es "la adoración". Seis viajeros, todos amigos, emprenden una excursión. Venían a ver por sí mismos la majestuosidad de la diosa del sol. El misterioso enclave ofrecía el sitio perfecto para vislumbrar la enorme estatua situada en aguas cercanas. Caminaron hasta la orilla.
Las preguntas se arremolinaban en torno a las circunstancias de su presencia allí. Una estatua tallada en marrón de una mujer con cuernos en la cabeza. Unas cuencas oculares vacías destacaban en su rostro y miraban al cielo. ¿Había cometido un crimen contra el dios supremo? ¿Sería su castigo ser desterrada de las alturas?
Los restos que flotaban a su alrededor, consistentes en una habilidad y restos óseos de un cuerpo, despertaron su curiosidad.
El equipo de arqueólogos aficionados estudia las tallas. Captaron con la cámara la estatua y la zona circundante. Tras documentar los alrededores, compararon cuidadosamente las notas para seguir investigando.
El viaje mereció el caro precio del crucero turístico.
Al preparar mi tema, utilicé tres increíbles fractales puros que consideré que realzarían el tema.
For the statue, I located a unique one I felt would bring mystery to the scene.
