Eden Shore

I've done this months ago. Really. But I haven't had time to upload it since now (I use to be very precise while crediting, and this requires time..)

The idea came on my mind while I was doing a relax/meditation exercise, and I had to imagine a beautiful place (a locus amenus) in which I would find myself in complete balance with nature. I imagined what the shores of Eden would look like, to me.
I imagined a bay on a blue tropical sea, an endless sky containing all the phenomena that fascinate me: shooting stars, the aurora boreale, the starlit sky, a planet rising..
I have never seen an aurora, nor I think it would be possible to see it from a tropical shore. And the big planet rising from the horizon.. I think we are in the wrong solar system.

But this vision was paradise to me.

I represented no animals, but the serpent. He had to offer the apple. Yeah, I am a little Baphomet-ist, I admit.
I think that the serpent is wisdom, gained through experience, but gaining experience means losing innocence. We can't do anything against it. It's human.
