For a good world-building you need to start from reality. I’m currently studying old cities of Siena and Perugia to build a more realistic city in my fantasy world.

The Winged Victory of Samothrace, or the Niké of Samothrace is my favourite statue. It was discovered on the island of Samothrace in the northeastern Aegean Sea. It is a Greek sculpture from the Hellenistic era, dating back to the 2nd century BC. The statue alone, measures 2.75 metres (9 ft 0).

I loved visiting the Alhambra, a palace and fortress located in Granada, Spain. One of the best-preserved palaces of the Islamic world. Geometric patterns, vegetal motifs, and inscriptions were the main types of decorations. Additionally, "stalactite"-like sculpting was used for ceilings.

Tasteless bitterness of lazy times,
alienates and chains with silent rhymes
both the affluent and the lively soul,
yet the hidden cause, shan’t easily unroll.
The wall before me, might it be
a filter so tight, a reality thief,
severing me from the light realm, unseen.

Göbekli Tepe blows my mind, it predates human history. Built ~7000 years before the Egyptian pyramids. It has 20 feet T-pillars carved with animals.
It's located in Turkey, old "Fertile Crescent". I suggest you to make some research about this and other sites in the region.

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄!
Even if you’re struggling recently, take a moment to have a phone call to someone you love. The world needs a little bit more love.

Try this: W. Wordsworth’s ‘recollection in tranquillity’ principle.
When you experience writer’s block go for a hike in the nature.
Then come back home, sit peacefully, and observe your writing becoming an unstoppable river.
It worked for him and for me, it will for you too.

A short extract from one of my fantasy characters, hope you like it...
Tell me lady of the night,
Inspire my heart more than my sight,
allow me to write my insight,
and what comes to my mind when I look at you

This was my first kesterite solar cell. The EQE instrument “shoots” a laser (with an increasing wavelength over time) and the two contacts measure the photocurrent generated and the EQE “external quantum efficiency” = n(electrons out)/n(photons in)

Piazza del Campo (“Field square”) one day after the “Palio” competition. Dating back to the 17th century, it features ten jockeys representing ten of the city’s 17 historic contrade, competing in a horse race. It embodies intense rivalries, including historical parades and contrade celebrations.

Currently developing my table game with my friend. We started a year ago, the goal is still far but it’s fulfilling and fun to play.
