Absolutely beautiful shot. It kind of makes me think of the view from Whoville IRL.

Very true. I appreciate everyone sharing beautiful landscapes. It’s reassuring.

I’m not a fan. It feels like there’s this major drive to spend money on books. I do love how creative and beautiful some editions are. But it also feels kind of icky at the same time.

Your work is amazing 😍
