Although in Western cultures demons acquire the label of "evil", in Eastern cultures demons and gods are the two faces of the duality of our nature. Therefore, from the world of the Yokoai, a toast to wish us a year full of adventures, and perhaps some scares...
It was 4am and the previous nights rain had subsided but the heat and humidity certainly hadn’t. In that single moment, on my creaking bamboo raft and the most amazing karst peaks slowly appearing with the first dawn light, I had never felt further from home.
It’s obvious to say that China is on a scale of its own, from the sheer extent of its population, to the size and commercial scope of its cities and economy to the division of wealth between its people – I really cannot think of anywhere else that matches the eminence of this country.
Travelling through China was an amazing experience and one I certainly learnt a lot from. It is an ancient civilisation and rich in so much culture that it was easy to find myself lost and captivated by what the country has to offer. What’s more is that the future for China is looking bright. It has overcome so much to be where it is today and it’s impossible to not feel the excitement and buzz in the air of a country that is taking progression in giant strides.
In this moment however, I was completely and utterly lost and wanted to enjoy every moment of it 🌏 🇨🇳

Having started a short uni course with Lancaster University on Wordsworth, I thought it was time to brush up on Bill before he goes wandering.

The municipality is centered around the little maritime town of Grimstad which is surrounded by many small islands (Skjærgård).
There is a harbor, a long pedestrian shopping street, a small market square, Grimstad Church, and a museum dedicated to the early life of Henrik Ibsen, who served as an apprentice to Grimstad’s local pharmacist Reimann, from 1844 to 1847, before leaving Grimstad in 1850. Ibsen's intimate knowledge of the local people and surroundings can be seen in his poem Terje Vigen.
The majority of the inhabitants live in and around the town, while the rest of the municipality is rural and heavily forested.

Nothing special here but I like the shot. I probably wouldn't have published had it not been for the pandemic and my drought of new images. I hope you like it.

Recorrer el camino de los mil toriis (senbon torii) era uno de los motivos de mi viaje. Pero recorrerlo a media noche fue una mezcla de misticismo y temor que infundían las mil sombras que se movían el el exterior del camino y la incertidumbre de poder salir alguna vez del laberinto.
Ya fuese fantasía o realidad, no me cabe la menor duda de que este lugar tiene una energía muy especial.
Going retro on Mainguard Street with this giant tape deck.

Melbourne, famous for its coffee culture. You can find a barista on every street corner as well as in obscure laneways.
You probably have come across this term. Wikipedia would give you a variety of definitions and explanations. From the perspective of the UK and, important to clarify, from my own point of view, I would say that what is being talked about is a struggle for power over public opinion and the control of the media. Political interest groups use "hot-button" issues (racism, gender roles, Brexit, immigration, the interpretation of colonial history etc.) as a technique to polarise society and distinguish between "us" and "them". This is not a debate in the interest of truth. It is all about bullying and pushing certain agendas through. In other words, culture wars have intentional consequences. When a public TV channel with critical news reporting is being "privatised" or when the public BBC is threatened with a redrafting of its charter, you know that very likely culture wars are involved.
