It was a hot day and so humid near the waterfalls…
Nostalgia is a huge theme for my blog. So huge, that when I saw that it the was theme for this week’s Daily Post photo challenge, my mind quickly filled with dozens of ideas.
And then it went blank.
It’s Friday, it’s been a tough week at work, so I’ll just go with the relaxing sound of some thundering waterfalls. Can you hear them?
Iguazú Falls are one of the largest waterfalls in the world. Their tropical surroundings made me nostalgic for my childhood in Australia – seeing huge, red ants scurry along, hearing all sorts of sounds in the rainforest if I stayed still for a moment, feeling the heat of a warm climate on my skin. And now I’m nostalgic for travel adventures when I stare at this picture… It’s never-ending!

I’d be nostalgic too had I grown up near the Australian rainforest! Great photo! Enjoy the weekend!

Thanks! I didn’t grow up near the rainforest, though, I grew up in Brisbane. But just being in a warm climate, seeing over-sized ants and tropical fruit, all those things always bring back memories – these mundane things that don’t belong in my current life anymore. Which is why I love beaches, too 😋 Have a fun weekend!

We loved Iguasu, and for some of the same reasons – the heat, the tropical jungle, the jungle noises. You’re Australian! How did I miss that? Me too, but way back.

Hahah, somewhere in me there’s an Australian 1980’s kid, but I’m actually Finnish. I didn’t realise I’d never mentioned this properly on my blog before. Later on, I went to school with teens with American backgrounds, in Finland. Happy to hear you could relate to my feelings of Iguazu! There was something magical there… hidden behind the crowds of us tourists.

It’s interesting how association evokes memories. I know those big red bull ants on an intimate basis having had their little nippers in my flesh. Excruciating!

I used to get bitten by ants, too, as a kid playing outdoors. Thanks, Robyn, for taking the time to comment!

I often feel nostalgic too – my childhood nostalgia memories are small yellow houses on sunny days and my mother wearing bright orange. That photo is gorgeous!
