A photo of a dog in a plant pot. I don’t know why he was there, but he was nervous and clearly wanted to defend his pot. I also loved him and would take him home (with the pot).

Just a shrine covered in street dogs, innit. They were all very friendly and sweet.

We visited the Dog Care Clinic today - a beautiful facility that looks after 300+ street dogs from around Sri Lanka.

They get vaccinated & treated here, and even rehomed to people over 50 (those people are paid a wage to look after them).

Check it out, it’s so lovely ❀️

Yup.
I've tried to put myself in his position: say I've done a huge series of personal paintings or whatever and at some point I lost my inspiration, maybe it's just been very long and I want to enjoy my retirement.
Just leave the guy and his creation in peace, be happy you got to read what you did!

On the backdrop of a nighttime snowy forest we see two men in front of a campfire. Tal, the younger one, sits on a wooden stool with a hand covering his tear strewn face, while Kaleras rests a comforting hand on his shoulder.
