五花海 Five Flower Lake Jiuzhaigou, China Jiuzhaigou is full of natural beauty. I love photos of city nighlights, urban sprawls and decay, but there’s nothing as incredible as water that amazingly clear. My mom saw me looking at these pictures and told me my grandmother’s been to these lakes, and that they’re as, or even more, heartbreakingly beautiful as they look in photos.

i’d love to see the northern lights, but being a socal girl all my life means i’m hella weaksauce to cold. chilly alaskan nights would probably rape me. fortunately there is a solution for lameass people: Hotel Kakslauttanen in finland! i don’t know if experiencing the northern lights from a toasty bed instead of bone chilling cold detracts from the experience, though.

Gray. →
i spazzed out about this game before in my lj, but whatevs—“Gray” is short and simple, but incredibly powerful in its message and sharp in design and delivery. super easy to play and there’s several levels of meaning depending on how you interpret it. it’ll take like five minutes so you should play it to the end and see what i mean. …Also the logo kicks ass.

[002] crossing the finish line
It is so intensely weird how everything is finally 100% done. All that’s left is this week of finals and then a long ass break til winter quarter starts up… which makes me feel even less like studying. :| I just wanna celebrate, sleep, laugh and see people & places everyday. SUPER COUNTERPRODUCTIVE. …haha I’m really just writing this because I don’t want to...

I don’t know if it’s actually this picturesque, or if all good photography just has a way of making things more romantic than they really are. BUT here is one of the top places on my list of AWESOME PLACES (to someday travel to hopefully): That’s the Glastonbury Tor in Great Britain. Basically it’s a pile of rocks on a hill. But it’s also the remains of a church,...
