@Ambivalent Octopus - They are such wonderful characters and themes and plotz! BMO was my first Adventure Time doodle in this notebook, and I'm hoping that the quality only improves from there.

@Nessa Saelind - It brings me great peace of mind to have a tidy planner. :lol: I use the Leuchtturm1917 (size A5 with dotted pages)!

So I absolutely love several of these shops, the street shot of Korea is one of my favourites it very much reminds me of a Studio Ghibli sort of setting with how the lighting is.

I also really enjoy your sunset pictures the crisp differences in colours on the mountains on the one with the pinks and blues is very nice as well fells whimsical to me.

Honestly quite a few of them could probably fall under the Studio Ghibli vibe. Can't wait to see more!

Cool doodles, Tara! And wonderful photos! I really like the shot of the street . It looks like it comes straight out of some magazine. :thumbs:

Yávië shakes the dust out of his ears and chews a mat out his tail. Funny place this cottage, he's never seen it around Imladris. *sleepy snuffling*

Hmmm, if you folks like Adventure Time maybe I should finally give it a try. I've burned through all the decent, and a few terrible, cooking shows on Netflix and my brain hasn't been up for anything too serious. Your journal is so cute @Tarawen! I wish my handwriting and doodling had such potential. *g* I do like to keep a physical planner/calendar, much more satisfying to check things off with a pen instead of on my phone, but I haven't found the perfect one yet.

Doodles! But still very good-looking ones, @Tarawen. Yet... get out for a walk with a camera so you don't work too much with planner before you. :P

Thank you all very much for stopping by! @Yávië, based on what you've shared, I would definitely recommend Adventure Time! It's whimsical and very silly, but heartfelt. Also the episodes are 11 minutes long each, so watching a few isn't much of a time commitment.

Here is another couple of bullet journal doodles, as well as a photo. I snapped the latter from the passenger seat in the car the other week en route to my second COVID vaccine. Someday I'll take my actual camera out for a session... but this feels like a small start.

I'd want to climb up through that structure to reach the sky! :grin:

Haha @Pele Alarion, you'd have to be careful of passing trains! :googly:

@Afird Splitax - The first one is indeed a vampire - Marceline the Vampire Queen from Adventure Time! The second is a plain ol' human boy called Finn. :grin:

MOAR Adventure Time characters! I love your rendition of Marceline, she looks like a real punk rocker :grin:

The train tracks shot is amazing too! I love the lens flare, it gives the image a nice little dichotomy with industrialization vs nature, controlled vs uncontrolled, decay vs renewal

I've fallen sadly behind in my Adventure Time doodles lately, but I was procrastinating on packing up my apartment just now and wound up doing some light editing of this photo from my trip to Korea a couple years ago. I'm dying to go back - hopefully someday soon now that travel is opening up a bit more. Taken from Gwangan Beach in Busan.

oooOoOOo I love this picture! the balance of artificial light and reflection is brilliant!

I hope you are able to go back soon! (and not just because I want to see 1000 pictures from there either)

First of all, I had no idea you did such lovely doodles! Sadly I've only see a few episodes of Adventure Time but I did like what I saw!
Second, another gorgeous city-scape! I really love this one, the way the lights reflect in the water. You inspire me to branch out with my photography and search for the places with less obvious beauty, not to mention, night photography which I find very challenging to get not blurry.

@Sorceress - Thank you! I shall make every effort to get back there soon (and bring a good camera with me this time). I would love to better document my next trip, and I'll of course share what I come up with here. :grin:

@Lailyn - On the subject of doodles and Adventure Time - thank you! I do my doodles using references; I could never come up with these on my own. :lol: Let me know if you ever do watch more AT - I love it so much! Re: photography - I agree, night photos are so difficult without a tripod. I think I rested my phone on a railing for this one, but it's still too blurry in my opinion. :googly: I hope you do try out some new photo subjects - all the photos you've shared here on the Plaza have been wonderful, and it would be a treat to see what else you might photograph!

I will! It doesn't look blurry at all to me. Next time I go to a city I'll try some snapshots!

Definitely looks lovely! Though... only to look at, as it seems way too inhabited for my liking to go INTO the city pictured. :grin:

Love the AT drawing and the persepctive of the iron work for the train tracks is really neat to look at.

For the city scape in Korea was there at light near you that was that magenta lighting up the rocks ocean? It looks really neat that there are those really bright magenta spots when you can see the lights from the city clearly reaching them and being over powered by the pink light.
