this is melly

the first time I remember visiting the Opera House was when I was 8 years old...we’d just moved to Newcastle from a little town west of Perth in WA. our family from Germany was visiting and we drove them to Sydney to explore. I remember sitting in the back seat of the car, head resting far back, looking up through the back rear window, up at the steel beams of the Harbour Bridge as we drove across. standing on the steps of the Opera House, squinting from the white glare of the sails under the afternoon sun... the immensity and energy of the city excited me then and still does today. I love the buzz of activity, the city architecture, the lights at night and how much nature we have surrounding our biggest metropolis. isn’t she beautiful! . . . . . . . #sydney #australia #art #style #artist #instadaily #fun #igers #love #food #instagram #photooftheday #photography #instagood #sydneylife #sydneylocal #sydneyoperahouse #sydneyaustralia #sydney_insta #sydneystyle
there is something spiritual about floating on a glacier lagoon, air so cool and crisp it literally takes your breath away. once we made it away from the shore and the rubber dinghy’s engine cut, it was silence...interspersed by the occasional call of birds overhead and the cracking of the icebergs as they swayed, creaked & settled on themselves on their slow journey from the glacier to the sea. we witnessed lines of time in the layers of ice; thousands of years right in front of us. ash from past volcanic eruptions. harshest winters of clear ice and warmer summers in cloudy colour. a kaleidoscope of time and an environmental barometer. Iceland is literally the land of fire & ice. one of the best adventures we’ve had. and eating a chunk of thousand year crystal ice fished straight from the lagoon was epic! 💎. . . . . . . . . #fireandice #iceland #Vatnajokull #jokulsarlonlagoon #jökulsarlon #visiticeland #adventure #travel #nordic #nordicnature #explore #nature #photography #icelandic #wheniniceland #icelandtravel #epiciceland
