It's the middle of the week and I receive a what's app notification from Ozan (aka @Kindafolka ) , an Insta-friend by that time, inviting me to join an Instagram gang for an exploration at "Empty Quarter" as part of his brain child "Project Quinary".
I'm a cat, it's in my nature to be curious and I'm about to start the questions but for some reason, after a small Insta-stalk on Project Quinary's Instagram account I feel the postive vibes of these explorations and I just wanna be part of it.
The day has come and 4 cars are meeting to begin the exploration. It was a moody day that soon turned out to be rainy but that didn't stop us from setting our home for the night: our tents.
It was dark by the time we arrived and the fact that I couln't see the scenery around me made me really looking forward to the dawn.
The fire was lighten, the tripods and cameras set and after a small introduction around the fire the photo game began.
I've never seen before in my life a group of people as passionate about photography as those igers. They were literally up all night trying to capture the perfect shot of the thunders (oh did I mention that we had company all night long? Many, impressive, big thunders? :D ).
@WebbyTechy 's stunning video and @femsta 's pic with @faridaisrail will prove me right.
When others are partying during the weekend, some others are trying to fill their Instagram map with raw, undiscovered, beautiful places of the world. This is Project Quinary, and you're most welcome to join the next one!
Thank you @Kindafolka for giving life to an idea like this. Wishing you all the best for your future plans from the bottom of my heart.
In the meantime, we, your insta-friends who turned into real friends, will be here watching Project Quinary growing, until there are no blank spots on maps.
xoxo,
