Desert Picture The tree charmed with the slightest bit of happiness, dissipated clouds hovered over the worn out desert. Magic hour, what is supposed to be one of the best times of the day, was certainly doing the exact oppositie. Fighting through all the hurdles the tree faced, showed the resilience of the tree while the tyrannical sun was seen through a thin row of sunlight contrasting with the deceased plants lying on the ground with no hope.

I was really interested by the "mystery NFT", this was something new. Rational argument, the one thing I learned was that there are different techniques to convey a point such as the rule of three, and that body language can be important. a big challenge for me was to build up the courage for me to stand in front of an audience. I liked the number of questions and the quality that Arav asked. ...

The stairs stood right in front of me, sparkling in my eyes. They were just gigantic, every footstep was like a horse sprinting at full pace. It was unimaginable. I made it in life, my two friends were sprinting, we were having the time of our lives. We were laughing, cracking jokes, having true Italian pizza. It was a perfect day, blue skies with white clouds flew over our head. The steps were odd, there were 10 metres wide. The biggest I have ever seen. There were about 100 stairs with differe...

In the following picture it is visible that there is a presumably a donkey who seems to be carrying a tremendous amount of weight. In the background we see a scenic view of the mountains.

He was exhausted. The sky seems filthy, grey and filled with pollution. Imagine walking with that much weight on y...

My First Kiss I could see it right in front of my eyes. In my face, glowing and looking adorable. It was practically asking for it. The sparkly blue skin and appealing smooth skin was shining a ray of light towards me. I leaned closer and kissed the dolphin which lasted around half a second.
