Album | Posts tagged AlbumWhen we talk about an Album we can think of a collection of works by various authors or a book for collecting collectables like stamps. From a musical perspective though we are talking about groupings of audio records. The word still stands these days long before a long-playing record existed where a band would release its yearly music pieces for us all. The album would always have art and sometimes lyrics contained in a gloriously colourful sleeve with the massive vinyl disk. The smell of the vinyl and freshly printed lyrics was enough to transport you to the groups world. Miles away from the world of streaming and downloading tracks... | ![]() Theme On the theme of Albums Story The ancient elements are gathered on stage to perform. T... |

Autumn | Posts tagged AutumnAutumn, is one of the four temperate seasons outside the tropics and marks the transition from summer to winter, in September in the Northern Hemisphere or March in the Southern Hemisphere. Autumn is the season when the duration of daylight becomes noticeably shorter and the temperature cools, the day length decreases and night length increases as the season progresses towards the Winter.

It is an inevitable, universal process that eventually occurs in all living organisms. Something that is not considered a living organism, such as a computer or car, can be physically destroyed but is not said to die. What about the death of an idea or the death of a time in your life?

Environment | Posts tagged EnvironmentOur natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally - and not artificial. The term is most often applied to the Earth because this is what really matters to us.

Fantasy | Posts tagged FantasyFantasy is a special fiction for us, set in a fictional universe, often inspired by real-world myth and folklore. Its roots are in oral traditions, which then became fantasy literature and drama. We use it on our site for our worlds and stories. The fantasy genre predominantly features settings of a medieval nature. In its broadest sense, however, our fantasy consists of works from made-up ancient myths and legends to many recent and traditional ideas. More playful fantasies for us can be seen in our animated cartoons from all our ideas, themes and stories. These are scattered throughout the website. | ![]() Theme Fantasy Story A hog appears to a rock guitar riff and moves towards an opening umbrella... |

Game | Posts tagged GameA game is a structured form of play, usually undertaken for enjoyment but also used as an educational tool. Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more often an expression of aesthetic elements.

Map | Posts tagged MapA map is a symbolic depiction emphasising relationships between elements of some space, such as objects, regions, or themes. We use Fantasy maps to describe worlds and fantasy stories. Although the earliest maps known are of the heavens, geographic maps of territory have a very long tradition and exist from ancient times.

Travel | Posts tagged Travel/JourneysTravel is to go from one place to another, typically over a distance of some length. Travel inevitably involves a journey and can be physical or spiritual or logical. One could be travelling from place to place, or be remodelling in some significant way.

Our take on travel considers all such methods. | ![]() Theme Travel Story A woman in the street discusses travel. A fleet of jet aircraft are appr... |

Water | Posts tagged WaterWater is an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odourless, and nearly colourless chemical substance. Water is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms. Water is vital for all known forms of life, even though it provides no calories or organic nutrients. Mystics have stirred the notion that water has memories and if so what does this mean for us? In nature, water flows in smooth curves and may record its interaction with the surface stones, soil, plants, and trees it comes in contact with carrying traces of their energy. Water also flows though us and all creatures and plants of the planet; it is our life and future and we should treat it like we do the air and earth, like a jealous guardian of a child or pet. | ![]() Theme Water Story Historical figures gather gather to discuss water.
