HiveDiscoMod Curation Highlights May 04, 2025

The kitchen felt very small and suffocating to Mara. Five individuals were gathered closely beside each other at her little oak table, and none of them were looking at each other. On top of that the rain was pounding on the windows creating a depressing atmosphere that was now even more suffocating. “Let’s just get this over with,” Dale broke the silence since they had made up their minds ...

The town of Owara is popular in the eastern part of Nigeria for its dreadful tradition of discovering the paternity of the male child in the town. Every year, there is a tradition called the "sacred draw", where all the male children in the town from each family will contest picking a straw, and anyone who picks the shortest straw will be sent into the Kala forest for 24 hours to be tested by their ancestors. If the male child is the legitimate son of the family he came from, he will be released by the genie to return home, but if not, he will not be seen ever again. This was their tradition used in correcting promiscuous women who cheat in their marriage, and it has been in existence since the days of their first ancestors ...

Tonye imagined herself standing on the red carpet with the interviewer asking, “What does freedom look like to you? ” Her straight out of the box answer would be: “Full control of the TV remote and sleeping till noon without anyone yelling my name like a town crier”. And so when her parents announced that there was a trip to the village for the long holiday, Tonye never batted an eyelid when she vehemently refused to join the party with the words: “Nah, I’ll pass. I really need rest please and only the City can give me that” ...

Walking through historical landmarks that impacted Philippine history provides a strong connection to your heritage and respect for the sacrifices made for freedom and identity. There's also the thrill of uncovering stories that textbooks can't quite capture—real lives, struggles, and successes. Last summer, my colleagues and I had the great opportunity to visit the Malacañang of the North in Ilocos. Visiting the Malacañang of the North in Ilocos is reminiscent of a preserved moment in Philippine political history, creating a nostalgic and unusual experience ...

Happy New Month! ! ! 🥳 April was such a slow month, my goodness! ...

Sometimes it's okay to let the tears flow. Even the steel hearted at one point in life feel the urge to let the tears out of their system, right? Have you by any chance gone through devastation in life – especially a break up? I mean you have worked tirelessly to have your emotions align with the peace you crave ...

This is Mount Custor, as seen from the shoreline at Cameron Lake, Waterton Park, Alberta. Only thing is, Mount Custor is actually in Montana! Similar to Waterton Lake, which is located on the US Canada border. Neat eh ...

I was away to Wanaka last week for work, Wanaka is like a smaller Queenstown, I like it there quite a gorgeous town and about 5:30 hours drive from Christchurch. I have been there for work on several occasions towards the end of last year. As usual, I always find tourist hotspots where the job takes me to so it wasn't difficult to find ThatWanakaTree, which I photographed and shared with you on Hive. That was in summer, so I was fortunate to be sent there in autumn 🍂 currently as winter approaches ...

Hello Hivians! Today, for once, it's not about light painting. I often go hiking in the forest. Equipped with a camera, sometimes with binoculars or, in the worst case, just with my smartphone ...

Hello dear friends, Over the last two months, I've largely taken a vacation from the PC. Instead, I've been out and about in nature more often. Especially when nature wakes up again and the temperatures are still significantly below 30 degrees, it is fun to go hiking or MTB tours in the Spessart and the surrounding area. In the following posts I would like to share a few pictures from my excursions on HIVE ...

I finally got to show the I planted with my kitties! I purposely kept it out of their reach so I could surprise them. I placed the pot in the middle of the garden; both of them checked it out. I was expecting that they would munch on it, but instead, they just stared at it and tried to play with it ...

Vibrant Shifting Colors With Graceful Flight We have experienced Inclement Weather of late from bright sunshine, followed by wind then rains, rain tends to be disruptive of late, no more so than life itself. I suppose we look at life slightly differently, yet hanker back, songs that held meaning, words carry feelings of joy or sorrow depending how one looks at life. My first paycheck at the tender age of sixteen I bought LP Teaser and the Firecat, to me a positive song that hangs around in memories rejoicing first morning light. "Cat Sevens wrote most his songs, exception was , which was actually a Christian hymn published all the way back in 1931, with words by Eleanor Farjeon and tune borrowed from a Scottish Gaelic song 'Bunessan'" ...
