“The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.” - Oscar Wilde
This is no Westeros. On April 8, 2019, the Landsat 8 satellite acquired a scene of contrasts in Russia: a fire surrounded by ice.
Between chunks of frozen land and lakes in the Magadan Oblast district of Siberia, a fire burned and billowed smoke plumes that were visible from space.
Not much is known about the cause of the fire, east of the town of Evensk. Forest fires are common in this heavily forested region, and the season usually starts in April or May. Farmers also burn old crops to clear fields and replenish the soil with nutrients, also known as ‘slash and burn agriculture’; such fires occasionally burn out of control. Land cover maps, however, show that this fire region is mainly comprised of shrublands, not croplands.

This girls is really something else: only she communicates to me so brilliantly her feelings, with much sophistication, and aligns her thoughts with mine like the stars would do. I love, love, love her to the guts.
