Thank you for asking!

How inept of me not to have discovered your entry earlier. I have been staying only on the “Things” area of the site… not sure why except I seem to have blinders on when it comes to coping with even fun technology.

Ah, Isaura…you are partway correct, Zuu! Isaura is not a real place. It is an imaginary place or, if you believe its inventor, an invisible place:

“Isaura, city of the thousand wells, is said to rise over a deep, subterranean lake….an invisible landscape conditions the visible one; everything that moves in the sunlight is driven by the lapping wave enclosed beneath the rock’s calcareous sky.

“Consequently two forms of religion exist in Isaura.

“The city’s gods, according to some people, live in the depths, in the black lake that feeds the underground streams. According to others, the gods live in the buckets that rise…as they appear over the edge of the wells, in the revolving pulleys, in the windlasses…in the pump handles, in the blades of the windmills that draw the water up from the drillings…all the way up to the weathervanes that surmount the airy scaffoldings of Isaura, a city that moves entirely upward.”
