Isn't it fascinating how our world has changed? In an era where digital illusions have become the norm, we often find ourselves entangled in a game of ‘real or fake’? Our eyes, once trusted witnesses to reality, have transformed into the first skeptics. With every stunning photo shared online, the question inevitably arises: ‘Is this AI-generated?’

Some flowers, steadfast and proud, still bloom as if holding onto the last remnants of summer's warmth. Others, their petals fading, bow gracefully, surrendering to the change. Yet, there is no sorrow in this slow fading; only beauty, only the richness of colors more vibrant than ever, as though nature has saved its most glorious palette for these final moments.

‘Kabinet wil uitgeprocedeerde Afrikaanse asielzoekers naar Oeganda sturen’, las ik net op de NOS app. ‘We hebben een lange relatie met Oeganda en het is een gastvrij land.

HERONS' DANCE • [sound on] There’s no better way to start a grey Monday morning than watching the herons' dance in front of our house. The sun gently peeks through a light mist, casting a golden glow that gives them a fairy-tale-like appearance. Nature’s magic at its finest.
