The new sculptures by Wilma Cruise at Gearing Cruise are playful and optimistic - like the theme of the exhibition Walking Back To Happiness. 🎶 #art #streetart #publicart #fynarts #hermanus #artsfestival #sculpture #view #coastalliving #travel #tour #picoftheday #travelphotography #sea #coastalliving

This fluff ball alpaca wanted to hear details about our lunch, what we’ve bought at the gift shop and when we’re coming back for a farm stay at the comfortable cottages. #visitstanford #supportlocal #alpaca #farmlife #countryliving #countrylunch #capewhalecoast #meetsouthafrica #roadtrip #lunch #eatout #farmanimals #animalsofinstagram #friedatravels #outdoor #trip #instagood

Candi Beach came alive at 6am on Sunday with bathers, food vendors and families honoring Saraswati, Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, art, speech, wisdom, and learning. Breakfasted on the best Bakso Ayam Kenyal - chicken rolled in balls served in noodle soup for R15. #candidasa #bali #celebration #streetfood #view #holiday #coast #indonesia #travel #trip #bakso #ayam #breakaway #friedatravels
