Soundtrack: Of once and future kings - Pavlov’s Dog
Coming back to this because i’d love a place to write now i’ve finished school.
I keep falling in love with everyone i meet, it feels like my heart is endless.
When we think of our globe from a distance, we generally visualize two colors: blue and green. Water and land. Mostly water, consequently, our planet’s nickname of the blue marble.
Traveling around the globe every 90 minutes covering millions of miles with a focused lens on our beautiful planet from 250 miles above, I’ve captured many beautiful colors beyond blue and green that showcase Earth in new and interesting ways. Some colors are indicative of nature like desert sands and weather like snow. Other colors tell stories of Earth’s climate in bright splashes of yellows and greens of pollen and muted grey tones and clouded filters of pollution.
Blue and green still remain vivid and beautiful colors on Earth from the vantage point of the International Space Station, but here are some other colors that have caught my eye from my orbital perspective.
African violet
Bahamas blues
Tropical in Africa
Yellow desert
Orange in Egypt
Red surprise
Snow white

Today i walked home and i saw the sun shining through the autumn leaves-ephemeral and godly. I stood there, amongst the leaves and a feeling of calamity washed over me. I feel like everything will be okay.

Carved and Stacked, Grise Fjord, Canada, 23 March 1989 by Andy Goldsworthy, 1989
There’s something eerily beautiful about Goldsworthy’s snow and ice sculptures… I can’t quite put my finger on it (just as well, as I imagine it’d get very cold). There’s a quiet serenity about them that I simply love, and have loved for many years. I’d imagine that stumbling across one of them would be like walking into a snippet of space that had bled through from another world. It is not out of place, yet it is clearly there by purpose. It's wondrous but at the same time, a little somber… None of these marvels exist anymore, having succumb to the ravages of the sun and wind, and the relentless march of time, as all things shall…
