Sunset Menelusuri Alam Mangrove dan Eksplorasi Pantai Tersembunyi Eretan Indramayu

Saat matahari mulai terbenam di Eretan, Indramayu, keajaiban alam semakin terpancar. Menelusuri jalur mangrove yang rimbun, kita disuguhkan pemandangan menakjubkan saat sinar matahari menyentuh daun-daun hijau, menciptakan gradasi warna yang memikat. Suara gemericik air dan kicauan burung menambah suasana syahdu, menjadikan setiap langkah terasa seperti momen berharga.

Setelah menyusuri mangrove, perjalanan berlanjut ke pantai tersembunyi Eretan. Saat kita tiba, langit mulai berwarna oranye keemasan, memantulkan keindahan di permukaan laut. Ombak yang lembut menghempas pantai, sementara siluet perahu nelayan melengkapi panorama menakjubkan. Menyaksikan matahari terbenam di sini adalah pengalaman yang tak terlupakan, memberikan ketenangan dan kedamaian.

Eretan adalah tempat di mana keindahan alam mangrove. Mari eksplorasi keajaiban alam ini dan abadikan kenangan indah saat matahari terbenam!

Paris in the Spring

I used to think that Autumn was my favourite season. Mostly because I was born in October and because I love the warm colours of the leaves in Autumn.

I was a bit delusional though. My all-time favourite season is Spring. There's something in the air (besides pollen) that fills me with energy and hope. A feeling of potential that is very hard to match.

I was born in Paris and lived there until I was twenty-three, and springtime is when I miss it the most. Students and young adults litter the banks of the river Seine with pic-nicks and beers, chatting about their latest crush or their plans for the summer; coffee shops, brasseries and restaurants terraces fill up in a blink of an eye, giving the streets a welcoming, familial feel.

I was privileged enough to grow up in the centre of Paris. The Marais, the Quartier Latin, the Jardin des Plantes, the rue Montorgueil, these were the city-scapes that filled up most of my youth (and life until now).

In the springtime, these neighbourhoods are even more packed with people, tourists and locals alike, enjoying the many boutiques and restaurants they have to offer, taking in the sun on a garden bench or treating themselves to an ice-cream as they stroll around old paved narrow streets.

Five years ago, Paris was in a severe COVID-19 lockdown. No going outside except for vital reasons or for a one-hour stroll in a 1 km radius around your home. The terraces sat empty, the garden benches were left to the birds, the once-so-busy streets now deserted. If it hadn't been Spring, I would probably have found those sights quite depressing.

Instead, I remember a certain type of magic in the air. An eerie type of quiet, unpolluted air like I'd probably never breathed before - a bubble. I wouldn't wish another lockdown on anyone, but a small part of me wouldn't mind re-experiencing a few of those silent days in the springtime, walking around deserted streets, revisiting and rediscovering my home. Paris in the Spring is the best Paris there is, and the one that's the hardest for me to leave.

When you are alone in this place.. you will know that the life cycle of a human being is very short and you will leave this life

Overall I truly enjoyed this drama and it was beautiful to see their relationship develop. It's been a long time since I saw a character like Hayama who exudes such graceful beauty and elegance in the way he moves, carries himself, caresses Shirasaki, the way he smiles, talks and dresses. There is this melancholic undertone and depth to his character that I adore which is beautifully contrasted with the sharp directness of Shirasaki. So much of the story was conveyed through the visual imagery of scenes, background music and expressions of characters all of which combined to create a beautiful tapestry.

Creating Between Coasts: Being an Artist-Scholar in Kansas City

When people think of cultural hubs, they often look to the bright lights of New York, the creative sprawl of Los Angeles, or the indie corners of Chicago. But tucked here in the heartland, Kansas City pulses with a creative energy that is both fierce and quietly radical. Being an artist and researcher here means working at the intersection of tradition and innovation—and doing so against the…
