Maya - Secrets of their Ancient World






I decided to venture out to some galleries and thought what better in Toronto than to include the ROM while on my journey as I had not been in quite some time.

The Royal Museum of Ontario's latest exhibition takes artifacts, ceramics, jewellery, sculpture and architecture, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the culture of the ancient Mayans. An appreciation of the symbols behind it as well as the glyphs and language that comprise the art, religion and practices that originated centuries ago in the heart of Mexico.

The exhibition was a unique exploration of a very mysterious time, wrapped around the ingenuity of this ancient culture; an eye-opener of sorts. I was aware and somewhat knowledgeable of the Mayan culture having traveled both to Tulum and Chitzen Itza but seeing it on display in this way revealed it to me in a new perspective.

An educational experience it was as I roamed from artifact to artifact, each one giving me further insight into their remarkable world. From daily life to their burial rituals, the complicated mathematics of their calendar and astronomy and beyond.. I found myself captivated.

It was a great opportunity to explore a truly unique civilization.

New Photos on my Site - Back In Toronto






Mid-November already and Christmas is around the corner.

A Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating this Thursday and over the weekend.

I am back in Toronto for a little bit after enjoying some time in Boston and Washington DC. Both treated me well :-). A friend took me to the Museum of Fine Art in Boston where we enjoyed- Degas Nudes Exhibition - wonderful drawings and paintings primarily of the female form.

It was so nice to reconnect with friends and make new acquaintances as well. Did some shopping, enjoyed quite a few other museums and of course some great restaurants. Taro sushi in Boston is quite simply amazing.



New photos are on my site, here is a sample :-)

Lest We Forget..






"In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields."
