Vast and impressive, yet gentle enough to make me slow down. So grateful, just experiencing the moment and the beauty.

A rugged Icelandic lava field blanketed in thick green moss. Jagged volcanic rocks dominate the foreground, their surfaces softened by lush green velvety moss. A dark volcanic slope in the distance, leading toward a cloudy sky. Close-up of moss-covered rocks in Iceland. The moss is dense, vibrant green, and plush, forming a soft, natural carpet over the uneven stone surface. Pale lichen patches peek through in places, adding subtle contrast. The texture is rich and tactile, evoking a sense of quiet softness.

Wonderful Japan, where the traditional and slightly mystical coexist effortlessly with the ultra‑modern.
A temizuya, purification pavilion, at a Shinto shrine in Kyoto.
And of course, modern vending machines right beside it.
Soon going back.....

The structure has a tiled roof supported by wooden pillars and is softly lit by hanging paper lanterns with Japanese calligraphy. Beneath the roof is a stone basin with ladles used for ritual cleansing. To the right, a small building houses vending machines, blending traditional and modern elements. In the background, a large red temple building adds depth and cultural significance to the scene.

Courage is grace under pressure
Ernest Hemingway

There is no courage without fear,
they always walk hand in hand.
Sometimes fear guides us gently,
reminding us that one small step is enough.🌿

The Icelandic light knows how to find you,
even through clouds, distance and quiet moments.
A gentle reminder that darkness never lasts forever,
the light always finds its way back.

"There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in."
-Leonard Coen-
