Could we be more firmly grounded when our roots are deeply entwined with nature? The alignment with nature's rhythms often infuses a sense of authenticity and empathy, rekindling the essence of what it means to be human.

While reflecting on our modern society's intricacies, I can't help but ponder the foundational undercurrents that surface in diverse perceptions. Some appear distant from the fundamental principles of humanity I once believed in, while others shine with refreshing compassion.

@VictorEzteves you welcome - just had a look at your IG feed - phenomenal!

[Roy van der Merwe @Leopardeye]

@VictorEzteves The world is surely full of phenomenal and unique locations? I think we need to get you back to Namibia?

[Roy van der Merwe @Leopardeye]

@rachstewart_nz Exceptional work! It's fascinating how different locations vary in the blue to golden hour transition? The world is truly remarkable!

@Nikon_SA @AshvirMaharaj The visual arts have always been a powerful medium to ignite intrigue and create awareness. Humanity needs to reconnect with nature!

We as modern people always find a reason to complain. Then you spend time with these amazing people and you realise that we are just spoiled.

@VictorEzteves When I left the sea, the backpack was over 50kg. Water is heavy and with the exhaustion, needed a lot!

[Roy van der Merwe @Leopardeye]

@VictorEzteves Straight line, was only 90km that way.

@VictorEzteves Still want to do a sea-to-source one day, just need to get the bone density up again in order to do that.

@LoveSongs4Peace This is one thing I need to see one day, might even be able to brave the crowds inorder to see it! Absolutely amazing! It's only one day a year?
