Weekend Wanderings #7: Stormy Weather 🌨️🌪️🩶

Good morning from soggy Forest Heights in Athens, GA! I’m writing this Thursday morning with Hurricane Helene set to strike Florida’s Big Bend. Hope y’all are set up and safe. 💚

I’m perversely craving Florida so here’s a little trip down memory lane:

• The evening bat show in Gainesville  🦇

• Spirits and tortoises in Cassadaga 🔮

• Crumbling “dinosaurs” of Bongoland 🦖

• An unusual stretch of coquina rock beach 🐚

Link Love:

• Mitch Dobrowner’s gorgeous black and white photographs of storms 🌩️ 

• Carrie Fisher on Vacation in Europe, 1971

• Bolivia’s Carnaval de Oruro - the Andean bears (jukumari) look amazing 👹

• Northern Italy’s tradition of dunking a politician in the river

• Winners of the 2024 Ocean Photographer of the Year Competition 🐋

As always, feel free to reach out with any trip q’s or fun travel plans. 😺

Thanks for reading and hang tight!
