Nice stuff, Paul. It's so pretty, I almost can't look at it. Especially love the Pietersite.

Yummy! I especially love the capture you got with the orbs on the third one. (passout)

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Especially love #4. 👍👍 Still no time to cab for me lately and thus no time for Christmas decorations either. Might need to find myself a quick Festivus pole. 🤔

The first one is my favorite, it just pops with color. Great job Paul, and thanks so much for sharing. Just incredible!
