Riding motors through a steep, unpredictable terrain can be a real challenge. Are you a risk taker and love exploring new places like catharcissism, or do you take the safe road and stay away from danger? The author is back on the platform in a grand style.
Why do you travel? To relax, find new food, learn about the world, or maybe just for the discounts?
For me, it's all about exploration — finding those little out-of-the-way places yet to be polluted by hordes of tourists. - catharcissism

This time, pipoune surprised us with something different. Instead of her ink drawings, here we see an amazing digital color work as a reply to a challenge. Very creative idea and the colors compliment each other well.
The theme of November was "Veggie Animal".
It involves to create an animal combined with a fruit or a vegetable.After consideration, I found the idea of doing a Robin combined with a watermelon. - pipoune

When you read alt3r's recipe posts, you'll get three things - excellent, professionally looking photographs, tasty dish and an interesting backstory. This time it's an absolute stunner - spring rolls with eggplant and sauerkraut!
There are days when I don't know what I want, and there are also days when I at least know what I will eat.
... I had the rest of the crust from a recently made pie with pistachios and mortadella. So I got the idea for something like spring rolls, but not fried in deep oil. - alt3r

What we see outside when we look at a person is rarely a representation of how they feel inside. Raoul has gone through many life threatening experience which always leave mental scars and challenges that can take a big toll on our mind. Usually we tend to hide or supress our feelings and isolate from people. This is a brave, honest post about author's recent struggle with depression, about ever-present love and the ways in which he's finding the peace inside.
Ever since I've known myself, I wasn't an exhuberant person. I mostly kept to myself, walking my own path. That doesn't mean that I was a pessimist; on the contrary, I'm a pretty positive kind of person...a regular person I guess.
... I want to say that I'm used with pain, even with extreme pain, but the kind of pain that I'm feeling lately has nothing to do with that excruciating, mind numbing physical pain. - raoul.poenar
@apsu
If you've been following apsu for a while, you're probably used to his amazing bird photography, diy building projects and homemade recipes. In the posts he shows his other side of an avid gamer reviewing the new chapter in this role-playing indie game.
The game is something unique. The game is mostly a light-hearted adventure, even though some players understand to be worried too. The game mechanics are a combination of adventure and bullet-hell, in which you can decide if you want to win the enemies by violence or by befriending them. - apsu
