Fluidity

Maldivian skater in Hulumale Skate Park

Sitting here at the airport at Male waiting for my flight to take off. Trying to summarize this part of my travels. Been here for almost three weeks but it feels like so much longer. Think it is because I’ve spent time at three very different islands doing different things.

Skaters at RedBull skatepark in Huluhmale.

On the last island Huluhmale, I only spent a total of three nights but really enjoyed them and did the most of my time there. The first night I went out and photographed skateboarding. Some might be surprised by that considering my blog name, but my background in photography comes from roller derby and it also has the same fluidity as surfing. Even the skatepark looks like waves.

I’ll write more when I get to where I’m heading this time. Until then, enjoy the photos because I had fun taking them.

  1. Hahaha great snaps πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ‘Œ. You are correct, the skateboarding does flow alot like surfing when they are going over the humps and ramps πŸ˜†. Snowboarding and skiing also share the same similarities lol

      • LOL i’m sorry; [warning] my vocabulary is VERY VERY BROAD; that might seem strange to you at first but, yup, people like me do actually exist πŸ‘πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜‚

      • I know. So does pretentious people like me 😹 sorry, it’s just that I might take my photography too serious sometimes πŸ˜‰

      • Hahaha absolutely πŸ‘πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. I am well aware that it’s all in good fun πŸ˜†πŸ€—πŸ’•, and I really admire the fact that you take your photography seriously — it shows πŸ€ŸπŸ™πŸŒΉβ˜ΊοΈπŸ₯°.

  2. Hey, I hope you have a fluid day today πŸ‘πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. I came by but there is no new posts so I just decided to leave a hello comment haha

    • Oh, I’ve been very fluid today. Visiting different places here on the island of gods πŸ™Œ trying to find a place so I’m not fluid all my days. And thanks πŸ™ for checking in!

      • Lovely; keep enjoying your time there πŸ™ŒπŸ˜‚; and yes it’s ok to have fun but do not over do it, the “gods” are watching πŸ˜ˆπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. You are welcome; it is a must haha. Be safe and enjoy your day and week πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ˜‚

      • Oh, I’m enjoying my time here. And it’s not like I’m out partying it’s just that I’m finally relaxed enough to not feel pressure to accomplish something every day and just go with the flow. Something I’ve not done in a very long time πŸ™

    Yes, that’s exactly what I was meaning πŸ’―πŸ’―πŸ’•. I didn’t think it was about partying — it was the fact that you also wanted periodic moments where you didn’t feel the need to be fluid for a change, so I encouraged you on that πŸ‘πŸ˜„πŸ€—πŸ€—

    • Well, unfortunately it only lasted for a few days … now back to trying to find someplace to live. So I hopefully can continue to enjoy life after that πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

      • Yes but this is probably like the 1 millionth time you did something like this πŸ‘πŸ˜‚; it’s not new to you so I know you got this covered πŸ™πŸ€—πŸ˜‡. You’re a travel savvy gal — probably planned for months/weeks haha. It’s all part of the “luxury” of being able to travel to these great places πŸ’―πŸ€ŸπŸ˜πŸ˜‚

      • I know 😹 it’s just that it would be nice to be settled somewhere. But then I probably be super bored … oh yes, I’m bit of a drama queen too. And traveling to these amazing places at a time like this is very special! So yes, I’m lucky!

  4. LOL I know what you mean, just because I like to do something it doesn’t mean I would want to do it all the time 24/7s — we have other things we would like to do too πŸ˜…πŸ˜†. But we find ourselves putting up with a little short-term inconvenience for lasting memories and invaluable experiences πŸ‘πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

    I think you are lucky too — I don’t really think you are that dramatic but if you insist, I have no choice but to believe that you know what you are talking about since you know yourself better than anyone else πŸ€­πŸ€­πŸ˜„

    • Well sometimes I dramatize things that happen in my life, but I’d like to have a base somewhere to come back to. Let’s see what happens πŸ€¨πŸ˜‚

      • Don’t worry, “dramatizing” stuff to convey things to people and “over-reacting” are two totally different things. “Overreaction” is dramatic, but “dramatization” is very understandable πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜‚

        Hahaha yes we well see what happens fingers crossed πŸ€žπŸ‘ŒπŸ˜†πŸ˜‡

  5. Who would have thought that land, sturdy and firm as it is, would be capable of reflecting fluidity?

    (Thank you for following The Monching’s Guide, by the way.) πŸ™‚

  6. Just need to find a place with good internet. Standing in a hotel corridor isn’t the best place for writing and editing photos πŸ™„ the continuing story of my travels 😹

    • Thank you πŸ™ well, the skate park is sort of shaped like waves and the skaters are like surfers. On the other hand, I think so much is fluid like the sea. My Ashtanga yoga practice for example, I used to train on certain things in the sea in Goa πŸ˜‰
