Faith, faith: The World is a Temple

A visual travel journal, which was made with one of them damn tablets in the summer of 2018. I got one just before the summer, and I found the panorama option in its camera app while travelling around Europe. Travelling is always an intensive experience; you enter the world without knowing, what it will bring infront of you, and each day gives new insights, reflections and visions. There is something spiritual in the state of mind when you travel. That is why the texts and the name of the series. Special thanks to Alma for the patience.
