Dark academia girls:
— White blouses with voluminous lantern sleeves, lace cuffs and collars;
— Old postcards between pages of books or homemade bookmarks;
— The pleasure of studying history, art and sciences;
— A stack of diaries, covered in small ornate handwriting;
— Antique silver medallion with northern niello around the neck
- Anticipation of a trip to a new country, search for information about the best museums, galleries and theaters in the city, detailed planning of visits to architectural landmarks and planning routes;
— Reflections on the transformation of feminism in modern conditions, foreign policy of the 19th century and symbolism in the poetry of the Silver Age;
— Examination of reproductions of masterpieces of the world fine art until late at night, sliding your fingers on creaky coated paper;
— Long hours in bookstores;
— A distant gaze, detached from the book and fixed on the flashing landscapes outside the window.
Panoramas from my travels. In order: a rest stop in Alaska; Acadia National Park, Maine; Orvieto, Italy; Assisi, Italy; Ambelside, UK. I can’t wait to travel again.
