A Distant Song

I miss you, Jasmine! I hope you're doing well. ☺️ 💖

Merry Christmas, dear brothers and sisters! Love, peace, and freedom for you, your loved ones, and all people in the world!

May this day remind us to break the cycle of suffering and strive for peaceful and respectful coexistence in this world. And even if we cannot achieve this globally so quickly, we should remember today that everyone can do their part in small ways: A friendly smile to the cashier at the supermarket, a compliment to a colleague, or saying “I love you” more often to those close to us can work wonders in other people's hearts. Carrying such wonders in our hearts can perhaps make this world a much more beautiful place.

All the best to you! ✨ 💖 🫂 💖 ✨

Stunning

(I) What a wonderful celebration of colors, details, and diversity! I love how much there is to discover in this image. Pink and orange trees cast delicate shadows on the path and provide shelter from the sun for the colorful flowers on the left side. In contrast, on the right side of the picture, grasses shine golden yellow in the sun. Boulders lie scattered around the area or frame the paths. The detailed houses are followed by an entire village and a mountain range covered in vegetation. In the distance are more mountains and a wonderfully colorful sky where birds enjoy their freedom in the sunshine. The rendering is fantastically done; I love how, despite the vastness of the image, details such as the textures of stones, individual blades of grass and flowers, and even the half-timbered facades of the houses are brought to life.
