Surrounded by nothing but turquoise lagoon which melts into sapphire blue, the Maldives island of Anantara Kihavah and its pure white sands rise up out of the ocean like a mirage.
For centuries, this was where Arab traders sailing to the Far East took shelter; a lush paradise blessed by coconut, papaya and mango trees. Navigating archipelago to archipelago by the stars, the seafarers were also drawn by the riches of the ocean surrounding the island – where a prehistoric volcano sank back into the depths, leaving blooming corals within a house reef and a wealth of lagoon fish.
Wishing to keep the pristine nature of the island intact, not one tree has been moved – as evidenced by the villas growing up around them. The design pays homage to the seafarers of old, fusing Indian Ocean, Arab and Portuguese motifs with indigenous materials.
Standing knee-deep in cool, crystal clear waters with the sounds of the the Kiwi birds all around. I can't imagine it could get more enjoyable than this.
Looking back on an intensely green summer...
(Almost there, but I'm still a little behind with my photos from the past months; because I've been working on "to neolithic spheres" for so long;-)
Eres mi oasis de equilibrio, oasis de fascinación,
Eres arena que calienta y que se incrusta a mi pasión,
En un desierto de espejismos eres la fuente del amor,
De donde bebo tu cariño y refrigero una ilusión.

I heard this handsome squirrel before I saw him. When I went to investigate the sound he came out, unafraid, casually munching on his prized peanut.
big thanks to Maya for the laughter, the fun, and her amazing creativity in helping me put this scene together <3

A wider view of Alaska's Virgin Creek Falls. I loved the vivid and vibrant greens and the sweet mossy goodness around this lovely falls. And her sweet song. There is nothing else quite like standing in a place like this soaking in nature's bounty and blessings. Pure Zen.
A few more pics of the falls below.

Enjoy a wonderful Sunday!
The countryside surrounding Grenoble is fabulous. It is very lush, fresh, very green, and enveloped with mist most of the time. I wish you a wonderful day!
