Welcome to my playground.
I present to you: the Red River Gorge National Geological Area. Only an hour away from me in eastern Kentucky, this sprawling, forested canyon system of almost 50 square miles is simply… amazing. Geologists and rock climbers alike look at this place and drool. The Gorge is, in fact, the premiere climbing destination for the whole region, drawing climbers from a dozen surrounding states during the spring and fall. Backpackers like myself are equally drawn by the gorgeous landscape and scenery of the Gorge. I make of point of heading out there at least three or four times a year, and by now I practically have the whole trail system memorized. Yet despite my familiarity with the place, every once in a while… I’ll crest a ridge, turn around, and be struck dumb by the sunrise bursting through the wispy fog, bathing the whole valley below me in a heavenly glow. Your heart skips a beat, man. The Red River Gorge does that to you, and it is literally my favorite place in the whole goddamn world.
this is so satisfying to watch
Hush little fangirl, dont you squee
Moffat’s gonna kill off your OTP
and if next season he won’t return
BBC will find another ship to burn
And while that ship is burning bright
The whole fandom will cry all night
And if the fandom cries itself to sleep
There will be a new episode just next week
#except for Sherlock
bought a book today that had four leaf clovers inside
Joan of Arc by Donato Ginacola

Instead of just looking up into the sky, you’re actually gazing down into the infinite cosmic abyss, with only gravity holding you onto the surface of the earth.
oh
i was not prepared for that

Palau’s Jellyfish Lake once had an outlet to the sea, but is now connected to the ocean through fissures and tunnels in the surrounding limestone. Millions of jellyfish were trapped in the basin when sea levels dropped, and over time they evolved into a species that have lost the ability to sting because they don’t have to fight off predators. Jellyfish Lake is a snorkeling and swimming extravaganza where you can get up close and personal with an estimated 10 mil Jellyfish.

The Whale… If you read a recent front page story of the San Francisco Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently around as she was thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth said her eyes were following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.
