Desert Graveyard of Ships
In the 1960’s, the Soviets diverted tributary rivers from the Aral Sea, causing it to recede by more than 50% and leaving Uzbekistan’s only port torn of Mo’ynoq a desert wasteland filled with boats not quick enough to escape the aftermath. But one’s man economic disaster is just another man’s photo op, as it were, as the area is now host to tourists who’ve come to see these lingering ghosts of commerce.

(via imgTumble)This is for my mom. She lives in another country and I haven’t seen her in a very very long time. I moved away because I fucked up, I made a huge mistake and I had to leave. As I left I had to leave my mom and my little sister. Theres not a day that doesn’t go by and I don’t think about them. I know we both cried ourselves to sleep, we both felt this void that only our presence filled. Its painful to know that I can’t see my little sister grow up…Without them there is no me. Anyways, just know Im always by your side. Just think we are closer than it appears, we both look at the same stars so we have to be close right? For those people who fight with their parents, and say they hate them. You don’t know how much you need your parents until you can’t see them. Appreciate what you have…
