Photography Around The World To Remember February 2018

"A year ago today..."

Pictures truly are worth more than a thousand words. They fill us with memories and emotions that let us relive the past. Every picture is very special, each telling a unique story. Pictures allow time to pause just for a second, and then give us a lifetime of memories. Live in the moment, don't live through your phone. But sometimes, we need to capture the moment.

And these "1 year ago today" memories are making me nostalgic.

Last February, I started to become more interested in photography, which lead me to taking more and more pictures. It was a prime opportunity to photograph the world. I was seeing art and history every day. I took advantage of my interests and my locations to start photographing more of the places I traveled to. I started watching the sun set and the architecture around cities. Not owning a professional camera limited me to using my iPhone camera, which can still take high-ish quality photos. Here are some of my favorite pictures of places I've been and the beauty of the world I captured (on my phone) from February 2018, some things that are very special to me.

I started February 2018 off in Paris, France. This photo is from inside the Louvre Museum. Free admission for students on Friday nights! The Louvre was where I started to appreciate and become interested in art.

Paris, France. The famous and breathtaking Eiffel Tower. At night, it is lit up and sparkles at the top of the hour for 5 minutes. It was magical.

The Catacombs.

Paris, France. The Catacombs...the largest underground cemetery that holds the remains of more than 6 million people. You are not supposed to take pictures, but I did.

Budapest, Hungary. Our first night in the city, we were walking around exploring when we accidently joined a giant rally right outside of the Parliament building.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

George Mason University

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
