Το περιοδικό The National Geographic Magazine, [Unspoiled Cyprus Vol. LIV, No. 1, July 1928], είχε αφιερώσει στην Κύπρο 56 σελίδες, με κείμενο και φωτογραφίες του Maynard Owen Williams. Αρκετές φωτογραφίες ήταν από την Καρπασία, ωραιότατες αλλά και συγκλονιστικές, π.χ. γυναίκες που κουβαλούν πέτρες δεμένες στην πλάτη τους.

Water Crisis

What's even more staggering than how little fresh water Earth has is how much water we as a people waste or spoil each day.

Experts warn that within the next [twenty] 20 years, half of the world's population could face water shortages... in the United States, where many believe clean, fresh water will always be a turn of the tap away, there could be serious shortages in the not-so-distant future.

do you like becoming tumblr famous or is it scary

So far, it's pretty good. I get an astonishing number of asks, and I feel bad that I cannot answer or address them all, but other than that, practically everyone has been lovely so far.

I have a bit of an odd relationship with fame. For much of my childhood, I idolised people who were famous, and dreamt of one day being famous, too. As I grew up, I met or interacted with more and more famous people, and later even got to know some very well. When you see it up close, it is often not desirable at all. It is in fact a huge strain on these people. And that's something I think we often forget; these are just people. Just apes wearing silly scraps of fabric and worrying about their families and their health, just like everyone else.

And so, I have no real interest in being famous, tumblr or otherwise. But I do enjoy having a wonderful, large, and continuously growing audience who revel in and enjoy the weird and wonderful creatures that I spend so much of my time thinking about, working on, and pursuing. I hope that it continues to grow! As I say, you have all been really lovely so far, and I could not find a better community on any other platform—of that I am sure! 🐸
