The colors of nature always amazes me.

That looks really nice! Whenever I take a picture of the sky with my phone the colours never come out right, but this looks good.

And where is your sky located? this is Caracas, Venezuela.

Ive heard say that the sky in Japan is awesome, and asia in general.

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, it's not a fair comparison since the sky here in Sweden is currently just a boring blue, but it's only 7.30pm so still full daylight. MJA29kt7kbR98Z8.jpg If we have a nice sunset I'll try to show a comparison, but you know, the colors are always less vibrant on my phone so, yes, not sure how to compare really :) Sadly I've never been to either South America or Asia. Maybe if someone in Japan is reading this they can take a picture of the sky?

Do you get thunderstorms and sleet and such? do you have any of those? like super gray and cloudy and scary?

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes, but not very often. I like it though. Wind and rain and everything. One time I was walking with a friend and it started raining, like just pouring down, and we became so wet that our clothes were soaked, just... holding as much water as they could, 100% wet through and through, and I remember her saying "I am so wet right now!" and that my mind was not yet corrupted enough with puns and wordplays to even register the double meaning of that and I just nodded and said "me too!". What a fool I was. Or am. Do you think people change with time? I mean, fundamentally change? Or is it some part of us that just stays the same, even though it might have different expressions through the years?

naw, I think rain will make you happy forever. the details change but the core remains the same, like latin becoming spanish and italian and french...

Colors definitely call one to take time stop and take it in for a minute

[–] mean_elf@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah...I've been known to lose track of time ..just staring at sunsets

[–] Elilol@fedinsfw.app 1 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The little prince also, he once saw 40+ sunsets in one day he was sad.

I always liked that line, "To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes."

Luckily I know how to tame someone! I should be patient and sit down without saying anything a little distance from you in the grass, and every day I can try sitting a little bit closer.

[–] mean_elf@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why would the prince be sad looking at all that beauty.... Have you ever taken in that many ?

[–] Elilol@fedinsfw.app 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! In french its one of the most popular books, and in general for children. it has movies and everything, its such a cute story

[–] mean_elf@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well thank you for sharing it with me. I had not seen it before

[–] Elilol@fedinsfw.app 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

One only sees well with the heart, The essencial is invisible to the eyes.

[–] mean_elf@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Okay. That was inspirational. You read alot?

[–] Elilol@fedinsfw.app 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes! mostly classic and fantasy but I will read almost anything given the chance.

[–] mean_elf@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah me too ... mostly fantasy.. sci-fi...crime and thrillers

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait, you like The Little Prince!? It's one of my favorite books. I have one edition I bought a long time ago, and one newer nicer edition with better illustrations. The whole book is such a strong love letter to his wife when you think about it.

[–] Elilol@fedinsfw.app 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

How about braggin some pics! I love it since I was a child!

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
