Hello, this is Tanja.  I'm in the midst of redesigning my website which will be a work in progress for the next month or so.  In so doing, I thought I'd take a moment to update the blog as well.I launched my first blog back in 2004 with the intention to replace my on-line quarterly newsletters that were posted to my website since 1999.

This is my latest 360° panoramic image from Queen Califia's Magical Circle, a mosaic sculpture garden by Niki de Saint Phalle located in Escondido, CA. The garden consists of nine large scale installations including a circular "snake" wall with a labyrinthine entrance into the confines of the circle. Eight large totems of mythical monsters and deities surround the main piece of Queen Califia

I'm utterly shocked and deeply saddened to hear yet another friend has passed on into the light this year. While Rik Sharaj may have gone on to become one with Shiva his music will forever live in my heart. Namaste, dear Rik. At every full moon I will remember you with joy and I will listen for your song amongst the stars. You have been such a sweet blessing to me and everyone in the community.
