NOLA

Having been living here for a year no, I have to say, Singapore is the most convenient city to live in. Exciting events and endless food plus great friends, you'll love it too!

I wanted to show just how old this village is, and how it has so many interesting historical sites. And to put Invicta rampant.

This map is part of a bigger mapping project and the first of the series.

Smela's coat of arms depicts a girl breaking the arrow. According to the legend, during one of the Golden Horde raids, a local girl guided Russian warriors to the rear of the invaders. The enemy were defeated but the girl was killed with the enemy's arrow. Nobody knew her name, so they simply called her Smela ('a brave girl' in Russian). When the town was established there, they dicided to keep the name to commemorate the girl who saved the warriors and the local people.

I think I could grow old gracefully in this area!
