 The old tiger took one last survey of his domain: a patch of dry jungle (just a tangle, not a jungle) above a dry river bed (really just a small meandering depression) in a corner of the country that no one seemed to care about. It was almost noon and no one was out. Even the weather couldn't make up its mind what it was doing that day. Well, he was doing something, which wasn't saying much. Already, the tiger was thinking of taking a long nap under the palm trees again.

This pair: not complicated!

This guy: same, very uncomplicated

uncomplicated… and CUTE!

Not so cute AND he wants some of the action…
uh-oh!

Celestial portent: a comet in the middle of the afternoon!

An astrologer consults his charts

His city is a fortress for education and contemplation

The palm trees study their reflections in a pool of water.

The complex compound is a city unto itself. A marvel of medieval marquetry.

The end.
