~Hello~
Wide sands, open sea
Surf rising, breakers chasing our knees
Brown shore diamonds twinkling
A million stars wishing
Long walk in the water
Sun burning, breezes waver
Deep in talk of – everything
Space-time vanishing
Through the doorway darkling
Refuge from the day glaring
A hundred lights in a daytime night
Candle flame fairy sight
Grotto green sanctuary
Curios scattered curiously
One morning restores us two
Enough to prove it anew.
~Goodbye~
– Seminyak, 2016
@alunanresort has a coral restoration project that they’re very proud of. The tv at the restaurant plays information about it on a loop.It was an ambition that they’d had for years. The hotel manager told me about it all the way back in 2015, and when I returned last year, it was thriving and a marine biologist is on the staff.The project collects fragments of coral that have broken off from around the islands, and fix them to concrete pots, which are then slotted into concrete bars to keep them stable underwater. Once all slots are filled, the concrete bar is lowered in the nursery area off the beach. The propagated coral can then be ‘replanted’ to help damaged reefs recover.You can adopt pieces of coral. I chose one for myself and another for my friend @kuacicoklat. Unfortunately, I haven’t got underwater photos of them since I had trouble with my camera, and anyway the visibility was not very good. But I snorkeled above the divers who took our corals down.#alunancoralproject #alunancoralreefrescueproject #coralnursery #coralrestoration #adoptacoral #coraladoption🪸 🪸 🪸#marinepark #perhentianmarinepark #regenerativetourism #sustainabletourism #generationrestoration#tejainmalaysia #inspiringinsightfultravel ...

I'm a bit late to the hype, but that's what happens when you have a day job. I watched this rare Malaysian film based on true deeds of the Malaysian Armed Forces during the events previously told (but with this part missing) in the movie Black Hawk Down. I promised myself, and a couple of friends, that I would write my thoughts as a movie review, but only just managed to get around to it a couple months after watching it.But hey, at least it's not two years late, as is usually the case with my travel articles!#MALBATTMisiBakara #filmreview #UNPeacekeeping#WorldWednesday ...
