Volo Bog State Natural Area in Volo, IL 🇺🇸
It is the only remaining open-water quaking bog in Illinois. Everything you see, including trees, are floating above 50 ft deep water. #naturesky

Swam in the almost frozen cold waters of Horsepasture River on the way to find the Rainbow Falls with my boyfriend. This river is in Pisgah National Forest land just outside Gorges State Park in Transylvania County, North Carolina. #naturesky

TBT 2024 — my first Slav squat in front of a Khrushchevka (GE: ხრუშჩოვკა, RU: хрущёвка) in Batumi, Georgia 🇬🇪

There was a time when this was my homework. It’s written in Classical Mongolian, read from top to bottom, and left to right. This beautiful script is one of Genghis Khan’s enduring legacies in our world. #langsky #mongolbichig

I took this photo at a bookstore in Uppsala 🇸🇪 in 2010. It’s a quote from the 3rd novel in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, “Life, the Universe and Everything”. It refers to Silastic Armorfiends of Striterax, who once tried punching potatoes to prevent their deadly aggression, but failed.

I told my pup he can be whatever his heart desires. So, he became a frog.

TBT 2011 — Sailing on an icebreaker ship from Stockholm 🇸🇪 to Tallinn 🇪🇪 on a frozen Baltic Sea. I took this photo at around 5 AM. I woke up to the piercing sound of the ship breaking ice. I thought it was the loudest noise I’d ever heard; but I seemed to be only soul that’s awake on the entire ship.
