Bad weather so I decided to spend some time on a pleasant image. Unusually complex task.

Jim, Absolutely Beautiful, especially her hair!
She reminds me of my tour of the Rhine in Germany a few years ago. I was advised to stop and visit the "Lorelei", and when I saw your latest creation, the image from that vacation immediately came to mind.

What is the legend of the Lorelei?
Lorelei, German legend of a beautiful maiden who threw herself into the Rhine River in despair over a faithless lover and was transformed into a siren who lured fishermen to destruction.
In 1824, Heinrich Heine seized on and adapted Brentano's theme in one of his most famous poems, "Die Lorelei". It describes the eponymous female as a sort of siren who, sitting on the cliff above the Rhine and combing her golden hair, unwittingly distracted shipmen with her beauty and song, causing them to crash on the rocks.
