Been focused so much on all the war news, that I got surprised by the Artemis II launch. So cool that humans are going to fly around the moon again.

The Sri Lanka sketchbook isn't the only one I took. The UNESCO book has all the World Heritage Sites I visit. I added the five World Heritage Sites in Sri Lanka that I visited; Dambulla Cave Temple, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Kandy, and Galle Old Town.

My Tiny Sri Lanka sketchbook, with all the little sketches I have done from my recent holiday there. Besides five in the UNESCO sketchbook that I'll post later. Will still add more from time to time, but going to be focused on other stuff now.

#BookBingo update! I've read 20 flash fiction stories so far this year. Most were from Small Wonders Magazine. Their Feb issue was great. Also read stories from
Dream Theory Media and
Cryptic Frog Quarterly, and I found old stories by Isaac Asimov ("The Message" and "Hell-Fire") & Gene Wolfe (Against the Lafayette Escadrille) siting on my bookshelf.

Re-boosting this post I made two years ago because I've been playing so much #Pokopia and am having the time of my life being a #ditto and it made me remember this drawing I did ages ago.

I drew 3 of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of #SriLanka that I visited in my tiny #UNESCO sketchbook. They are:

1. Rangiri Dambulla Cave Temple
2. Ancient City of Polonnaruwa
3. Ancient City of Sigiriya

These sites are so unbelievably ancient, and it was awesome exploring them.
