Ava's Garden — An Extraordinary Website
By accident, I found the website of Ava, a young woman from Mexico.
Her "garden", as she call it, is full with interesting stuff, from history and politics to culture and art.
"Welcome to my garden. This is where I plant those flowers which I find around me, interesting interviews, beautiful discoveries, bizarre art, fascinating articles and reviews. And those flowers who grow in my mind too, thoughts, poems, pillow talks. Please feel free to wander around, get lost, recharge your batteries ... Maybe pick a flower or two."
Ava is focusing on very different and sometimes also obscure issues. For example, there is a "Gallery of the Bizarre: Flowers and Death" next to historical photographs from Jerusalem and Palestine and a piece about female pirates.
"Ava's Garden" is rather new and has been launched recently. However, a short glimpse will satisfy you more than enough, and convince you to check Ava's beautiful content regularly.
great find, emroz! i can't suppress the notion – as a frequent visitor of piqd.com – that "ava" is familiar to me. a nice surprise!
