In different cultures it is called by names such as haoma, asherak, yggdrasil, irminsu or asvattha.

There are doubtless many interpretations. A diamond surrounded by hooks is called in Turkish kirkbudatz, 'forty branches'. Among some semi-nomadic pastoral (terekme) tribes of Azerbaijan, a favourite symbol is a large diamond, signifying woman. Smaller diamonds within the large one signify a pregnant woman or her progeny. A …
Celestial creature: Recognizable because flames appear from flanks or shoulders.
Arabesque or Tendril: The basic unit of the arabesque, a favourite Islamic decorative theme, may be described as a split leaf seen in profile, called islimi in Persian. Derived from a Sassanian motif, it developed under the Abbasids in the ninth and tenth centuries, and matured under the Seljuks in the twelfth and thirteenth. It became central in Turkish and Persian carpet design only after the fifteenth century. In its fascinating fully developed form one sees interlaced lattice systems of sp…

Last day of vacation! We just did a small walk to our local hill. The clouds in the south look pretty grey, while it looked nice in the north.
We have a relaxing day today, a real #silentsunday.

On my walk this weekend I went past this abandoned mansion, built by a Victorian stockbroker in the 1860s. You can barely see it from the track but the whole place is falling into ruin. But as I walked past, I could hear the calls of peacocks. Presumably now wild, and it made me think post apocalyptic thoughts. #ruins #walking

A tower perched on the top of an old tile roof, with a leaning wooden balustrade. Vines are growing up the roof and the trees are encroaching.
