Photo by @nicholesobecki | Sand is born as tiny pieces of rock and shell break away, their hard edges softened by time. Life in the desert polishes each fragment to smooth, round grains, fueled by the wind to reach their final forms. Arriving at Rub’ Al Khali, or the “Empty Quarter,” the harsh, vast beauty moved me to silence. Known for its distinct desert environment, devoid of nearly all life, this place has never supported a permanent human presence—nomadic tribes like the Bedouin could only pass through. Following the descending ridges with my eyes, I tried to picture the caravan lines, human and camel forms advancing steadily on, nearly swallowed by the enormity of the cascading dunes. | From the known to the unknown, discover Abu Dhabi at your own pace: @VisitAbuDhabi

@space_tamnik This popular matcha crepe shop originally started in Asakusa, Tokyo, and now has a new location in Kamakura. With the opening, they’ve taken their matcha crepes to the next level. They have a new Matcha Crème Brûlée Crepe. They generously load it with custard and torch the top to get that perfect caramelized finish. Inside, there’s matcha cream and almonds, plus a mix of berries that adds a fresh, tangy twist! Would you try this ?! 😋
