Hello. This is Nadia. Do you remember the last post? It was about Jan Vormann who repairs buildings with traces of bullets from World War 2 with Lego. A manifesto that started with the goal of looking back at the war so that it doesn’t repeat. A trip for such meaningful work is certainly necessary. But I’m in desperate need of a trip where I can just leave with no specific plan in mind. Do you want to jump out of your seat and embark on a real adventure right now? If you no longer find role playing games on the web and internet surfing exciting, then let’s schedule an itinerary looking at Doug Murray’s pictures. It’s time to close your eyes and feel the cracked asphalt, the fishy smell of the sea and the rough leaf of grass with your whole body.

There is one word that popped into my head when I saw the two pictures above. A boat that is slowly crossing the wilderness of the sea and a person standing alone at the top of the mountain covered with snow. Yes. The word is “Solitude”. When I’m feeling solitary and lonely, I do feel like I need someone by my side, but there are times when I just want to enjoy the feeling as it is. I’m sort of in that phase these days – perhaps because it’s autumn. But then again, it is not only during autumn that I get the urge to enjoy the solitude. Is it because humans are naturally lonely creatures? I’m really lonely today.

The subjects of the two pictures are things I haven’t ridden yet. Is that why it seems more attractive? Let the man wearing a ripped cape rest a minute riding down from the air. And I’ll ride instead. Next I’ll ride the white boat in the lower photo and do a boat racing. The person who writes their name on the other side of the land and returns faster wins. The person who loses will have to treat others to French fries from the shop in the picture below. Of course, I’m going to win and enjoy French fries for free!

Someone has left traces on the pole. Is it an ad from a company with smart strategy? Or just a sign left by someone who is passing by? I’m starting to wonder who it is. If it was written with proper amount of ink I would’ve been able to read the letters, but too bad. Now it is time to head back home.

The walls are filled with fish. I guess the residents of this house would feel like living in a fishbowl full of oxygen. If they have children, ever better. If I get married and have children later, I’m going to draw the forests of Amazon and inside of the Mediterranean sea. I want my kids to live everyday life feeling as if they are exploring the world. Of course we will travel together a lot too.

This was Nadia hoping that your life will be filled with exciting adventures!
