Sigiriya Fortress

Sigiriya, aka Sinhagiri, is an ancient rock fortress in Sri Lanka. According to the ancient chronicles, this area was a large forest; however, it became a hill after the storms and landslides. Then, the hill became the new capital of Sri Lanka in the 5th century AD. King Kashyapa (477- 495) built a palace decorated with frescoes on top of it. He also built a gateway in the shape of an enormous lion on a plato leading to the palace. This gateway also gave the fortress its name, “Sinhagiri,” meaning the lion rock.

Tasmanian Photography Locations

I’m often asked by photographers on where is best to photograph in Tasmania. This is a small list of photographic locations that I’d recommend checking out while in Tasmania. I’m aware that there is many locations missing from this list but that’s because I’m yet to photograph them so will update the list accordingly. Also most of these locations should suit most people as they’re quite…

from wiki:

"The name of this place is derived from this structure; Siṃhagiri, the Lion Rock. The capital and the royal palace were abandoned after the king's death. It was used as a Buddhist monastery until the 14th century. Sigiriya today is a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site. It is one of the best preserved examples of ancient urban planning...."

According to the ancient Sri Lankan chronicle the Cūḷavaṃsa, this area was a large forest, then after storms and landslides it became a hill and was selected by King Kashyapa (AD 477–495) for his new capital. He built his palace on top of this rock and decorated its sides with colourful frescoes. On a small plateau about halfway up the side of this rock he built a gateway in the form of an enormous lion. The name of this place is derived from this structure; Siṃhagiri, the Lion Rock...."

Meet Arvin Lebec

This little dude was hanging out, nude, at Old Ridge Route Antiques in Lebec, California. What enticed me was that his face-up is reminiscent of "Edwardian Ken" (1968 New Good Lookin' Ken) and his articulation is stunning. He's only 7 inches tall and has 14 points of articulation!

Compare Arvin, who is obviously an action figure, to what girls are offered for dollhouses in roughly this scale.

Our Horsman dude with a thing for leather is awkwardly proportioned and has only four points of articulation, none of which work very well. (Horsman dude is going in the sell/donate bin.)

He even looks superior to my girls. Rynne, the Empire Toys "Happy Family Horse-Riding Girl" has fewer points of articulation and a less realistic face. Britney, who is Play Along's 2000 "Britney Spears, Live in Concert" has only shoulder and hip articulation.

Check out that twist-and-turn waist! Check out those thigh muscles!

Check out that sassy tight ass!

The stamp on Arvin's back reads "Lion Rock Ltd 1975 - Made in Hong Kong." This was enough to identify him as part of Mego's "Heroes of World War II" line, which was sold under different names in different countries.

This failed toy soldier line was friggin' amazing. The guys wore detailed uniforms and came with lots of accessories. Even better, there were a range of individual faces, all of them craggily handsome in that 1970s way.

Problem is, action figure collectors apparently care less about face-ups than fashion doll collectors, so I can't identify him! There are soldiers I can rule out, but getting an exact match for that hairline is giving me trouble.

Arvin can perform the two grails of fashion-doll articulation, crossing his legs and touching his face.

The reason for his surname being assigned as Lebec is obvious, since I bought him in Lebec. His first name is Arvin because at the northern base of the Tehachapi Range, where I-5 and CA-99 split after Wheeler Ridge, the official address of many of the restaurants and handy retailers is Arvin. As a place, it combines the key elements of Kern County history: oil fields, agricultural strikes, and outdoor recreation. It also makes a perfectly good male name. Various baby sites claim it's a German name meaning "friend to all" (so that's got a 50% chance of being untrue), and Wikipedia says it's also of Persian origin (which gives it additional win for the Central Valley).

Arvin can do yoga!

At the moment, Arvin is wearing a pair of Stacie-sized fatigue pants that are too big for him. Fortunately, there are even more "draft your own doll pants" tutorials than there were when I first learned to do it a decade ago, so I should be able to dress him decently. I'm thinking that cruising Goodwill and Dollar Tree scarves to get thin fabric with a rolled hem might be a good starting point for simplifying the sewing.

Arvin fits perfectly fine into the Mother Lode Mansion. Britney, Rynne, and their Horsman daughter Clare have moved to the sell bin, as I think a lot of my torpor with this house was that I believed I ought to want to make them a house rather than being enthused about them.

If it takes Arvin a while to develop friends -- his peers are super-expensive when dressed, though rumor has it there are clones -- I can live with that. He is just so much more awesome than anyone else in this size range.

I planed to have picture of city submerged in cloud sea like a city in the sky, but the cloud was gone when I reached to the top. But it was still beautiful to see the star move above the glowing city, for the time I did this photo it was freezing at top of the mountain in spring.

The Lion of Lucerne Location: Lucerne, Switzerland

This memorial is dedicated to the Swiss Guards fallen during the French Revolution and is also famously known as the world's saddest stone. Carved in 1820, this ten-meter-long and six-meter-high monument portrays a dying lion bearing a shield of the French monarchy. The inscription above reads "HELVETIORUM FIDEI AC VIRTUTI," translating to "To the loyalty and bravery of the Swiss," with the names of some deceased officers listed below the lion.
