Wieliczka salt mine, Poland

In southern Poland, Lake Wessel lies inky and unmoving in the deep. Filling the bottom of an old salt mine, it’s just one component of the UNESCO World Heritage Site which has been a functioning mine since the 13th century. Featuring supreme carpentry, centuries-old brickwork and ornate salt-crystal chandeliers in cavernous dining rooms, this fantastical setting is a favorite for the Polish film industry. The mine’s attractions include dozens of statues and four chapels carved out of the rock salt by the miners. The older sculptures have been supplemented with new carvings made by contemporary artists. About 1.2 million people visit the Wieliczka Salt Mine annually.

Chaotic Academia

Two top buttons undone , scribbled notes in pencil or biro, kill your darlings , untied laces, so much coffee, all nighters, crying in the library , Mozart, writing film scripts for fun, rain storms , moorland, swimming in the dark, movie soundtrack while studying, procrastination, muddy boots , unsent letters.

I love my solitude but i was meant to be a lover.

Sort of unrelated to dark academia, but Secret Life of Walter Mitty is one of my all time favourite movies. It's a movie that makes me want to live life unapologetically, to see the world, and connect with people. It such a pure, feel-good movie and I highly recommend you watch it if you haven't already.

The last 3 pictures are not mine. I've spent almost 2 hours trying to find both the the the location and the photographer to give creds, with no luck. I can tell you that they were taken in BC and then posted into a hiking group on Facebook. Thank you to whoever shared these pictures.

More rain photos from a google search. As much as I love snow, I love rain more. It makes me sad that it will be another few months before its rainy season again :(

I think humanity's love affair with these buildings perhaps the sexiest thing about us.

unbuttoning anything for someone is… incredibly intimate and cinematographical, oscar worthy to say the least

This marble was loved enough to make mortals shiver when they brush the cold hands with their warm ones, hesitating an instant to call it alive and subject.

“ I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death”
