Moderen with a Sumerian Look

UGH! I don't remember where I got this from, but I am sure somewhere from Goggle images. It has a Sumerian look to it. I am sure the person that made it had some knowledge of history and old images of the sun. Even around the borders the swirls are representative of the sun in ancient times. I don't even want to tell you what the middle area reminds me of that is non art related. (Must be the wine).

To my new followers...this is my Art History site about all things sun related. The theology behind the sun, the history, and art. If you want to follow my more personal blog it is here...http://terra-del-sole.blogspot.com/

Another Eye of God

Here is another photo I took on the way home from San Luis Obispo. This hole in the cloud looked to me like an "Eye of God". I have added in other posts that there has been a movement link an eclipse with how the "Eye of God" started. This photo makes another compelling argument. Eye in the sky.

What do you think?

Personal Pic

This is one of the photo's I took on the home from San Luis Obispo. I thought a little break from my usual post of historical information might be nice. I also posted this photo on my other blog. This was the last day I saw the sun since we been having so much rain here in SF.

Warm Blessing from the Land of Sun...Terra Del Sole.

2nd Chumash Sun

Here is my second sun representation of the sun. This was made by the Chumash Indians. They were the first known inhabitants of the coastal region of California. The food was plentiful for the people, and the Chumash lived as far south as Santa Barbara, and as far north as Monterey County. The weather is mild by the coast, so they would have worn very little in the way of clothing. Since the weather was mild there was more time for making jewelry, and other items of "luxury". The art that you see here would have been what they would have perceived as "luxury". It was not something that they Needed, just made life more pleasurable. What is a luxury you could not do with out?

Chumash Sun Symbol

When we were visiting San Luis Obispo I took this photo at the Mission. This is the ancient sun symbol created by the Chumash Indians that once inhabited the area of San Luis Obispo. It has long been said that the rings around the center circle represent pregnancy. The spirals are all over the world. Which is fascinating in itself. These circles are sometimes called primitive sun symbols as well.

Jordan

So, I was almost certain that I would be able to find several examples of sun images in Jordan, but Petra was the only place I could find a sun image (the one above the cock). This dates to the Roman mosaic's. It is beautiful.

Something fun

A golden sun illuminating the hillside. The rays stretch out over the countryside. It almost has an overheated felling to it to me. What do you think?
