I have a love affair with Rotundas. I think this is because way back before I was born, just after the war, my Dad went to singapore and took a photo of the Rotunda in the Singapore Botanical gardens. There were no rotundas where I was growing up in Borneo.
Now, everywhere I go, and if I see a rotunda, I have to take a photo of it.
This one at at the Auckland Domain. The Auckland Domain helps bring the sounds of summer alive during the council's annual Music in Parks series.
Drake Jazz at the Rotunda is Auckland’s longest running annual jazz festival.
This year the series boasts 12 weekly jazz concerts set in the historic Auckland Domain Band Rotunda.

I too love to take photos of them too. I guess we called them differently. Have a nice weekend, Ann.
thats right sweet! Rotundas are beautiful and one of the best things ever is open roof jazz music. Cant beat it!
Interesting Victorian. :) I think it may also have some Baroque influence too. Very nice photo.
Have a wonderful weekend.

I found this really cool spot to go do some meditating and writing; it was an Asian Bogota (sp?) just like you see in Japanese gardens, but then they tore it down one day, and now I miss it!
So, I love things like this rotunda as well, gazebos in gardens...might be a good idea for a FSO assignment do you think?
When I saw this pic, I was thinking of that same gazebo in that same Botanic Gardens too! For a few years, we lived just 10mins walk from that gardens so that was reallly nice!
I like rotundas, bandshells, gazebos...any outdoor shelter in the summer. Concerts in the park are so much fun.
Your job as a future mother is to learn the god's ways and to help your child understand despite the negative reinforcement and conditioning of today's society. Without consciousous parents the child will have no hope, and may even exaserbate their disfavor by becoming corrupted in today's environment.
Your ultimate goal is to fix your relationship wiith the gods and move on. You don't want to be comfortable here, and the changes in Western society in the last 100 years has achieved just that.
1000 years with Jesus is the consolation prize. Don't be deceived into thinking that is the goal.
Much like the other prophets Mohhamed (polygamy/superiority over women/misogyny) and Jesus (forgiveness/savior), the gods use me for temptation as well. In today's modern society they feel people are most weak for popular culture/sensationalism, and the clues date back to WorldWarII and Unit731:TSUSHOGO, the Chinese Holocaust. They used this Situation to bury Japanese atrocities.
It has been discussed that, similar to the Matrix concept, the gods will offer a REAL "Second Coming of Christ", while the "fake" Second Coming will come at the end and follow New Testiment scripture and their xtian positioning. I may be that real Second Coming.
What I teach is the god's true way. It is what is expected of people, and only those who follow this truth will be eligible to ascend into heaven as children in a future life. They offered this event because the masses have just enough time to work on and fix their relationship with the gods and ascend, to move and grow past Planet Earth, before the obligatory xtian "consolation prize" of "1000 years with Jesus on Earth" begins.
The Prince of Darkness, battling the gods over the souls of the Damned.
It is the gods who have created this environment and led people into Damnation with temptation. The god's positioning proves they work to prevent people's understanding.
How often is xtian dogma wrong? Expect it is about the Lucifer issue as well.
The fallen god, fighting for justice for the disfavored, banished to Earth as the fallen angel?
I believe much as the Noah's Flood event, the end of the world will be initiated by revelry among the people. It will be positioned to be sanctioned by the gods and led for "1000 years with Jesus on Earth".
In light of modern developments this can entail many pleasures:::Medicine "cures" aging, the "manufacture" of incredible beauty via cloning as sex slaves, free (synthetic) cocaine, etc.
Somewhere during the 1000 years the party will start to "die off", literally. Only those who maintain chaste, pure lifestyles, resisting these temptations, will survive the 1000 years. Condemned to experience another epoch of planet's history for their ignorant pursuit of xtianity, they will be the candidates used to (re)colonize (the next) Planet Earth, condemned to relive the misery experienced by the peasantry during history due to their failure to ascend into heaven before the Apocalypse.
Never forget:::It is not a house of Jesus.
If this concept of Lucifer is true another role of this individual may be to initiate disfavor and temptation among this new poulation, the proverbial "apple" of this Garden of Eden. A crucial figure in the history of any planet, he begins the process of deterioration and decay that leads civilizations to where Planet Earth remains today.
Which one is it?:
One transitions into the other, allowing the gods to wash their hands of obligation to their Chosen One. My personal "consolation prize".
And since the gods never committed despite tens of billions in mass media, product development and natural disasters/tragedy they will employ the freedom they positioned into the Situation and CHEAT me out of everything.
Fuck the hundred trillion year-old gods and their "gangster capitalism" positioning:::The Matrix.
