Nature walk and breathing

by

Hello my Friends, Family, and Fans;

I have severe seasonal allergies, and that means this time of year I have a lot of trouble breathing when I’m outside. It’s leaf mould and the last vestiges of pollen.

Ironically, in order to breathe better at night, I had to walk to go get my new APAP machine.

The really annoying thing about walks, especially nature walks, is how good they are for my mental health.

I’ve been having a hard time lately, and I think I’ve been dealing with panic attacks in public spaces. (Always fun.)

It’s frustrating to me that it takes so much energy to force myself out of the house and that a nature walk will help me feel better mentally but worse nasally.

Anyway, here’s some pictures I took on my walk home:

Be kind and stay safe,

Armenia

Recently, Armenia’s historical, cultural, and natural sights were captured in full by 360 degree images. Ucom, an Armenian isp, and 360Stories, a film crew, carried out this massive undertaking. The end result is stunning.

As I navigated through the images of 360 Great Armenia, I was pleasantly surprised by not only the lack of lag, but by how much I felt like I was playing a video game. (Get on that, developers. We want to find clues or treasure in these VR apps!)

Although I couldn’t find many references to Armenia in popular culture, that is too bad, as this country would be an excellent backdrop for movies. A Bollywood movie was filmed there in summer 2017, and multiple Armenian movies (obviously) have been set in Armenia.

The real reason to visit Armenia is for it’s own sake; it is rich in history, culture, and beautiful scenery. The 360 images only whet the appetite (and you can’t taste the food through a picture!) and you will be begging for more before the end of the VR tour.
