Let the wings of Temperence carry us through this world. ~ 💜 Perched, poised and pretty. ✨️ Something is messed up in my hip today, hoping I can work through it and hopefully get whatever it is back in place. Be well. 🫶 #VRPhotography #VRChat #OC #Art #Immersivism

OC Astra is perched momentarily atop a large green crystal at the shore of a large lake of water with her wings poised for flight. On the other end of the large body of water are more even larger gargantuan crystals in red and blue. The moon shines down from high above illuminating a space cloud population in the night sky.
