Here I am in Jockey’s ridge which is the tallest active sand dune inthe eastern United States.  These are a bunch of (scary) tree swallows just swarming around after chowing down. Fun fact: the Wright brothers flew planes really close to here.

watching acrobats perform outside of Jodhpur in Rajasthan, India.  These acrobats are part of the 80 millions of people in the country who are nomads, meaning they usually lack some basic needs, like housing and therefore cannot get any government help.  These nomads were once a common way of life in old school India, but now find it difficult adapting in their home country, especially with being ostracized in a country where the cast system still holds some power:
