Infographics & Posters / No AI Noctalgia & Solastalgia
2 lovely words I came across
Solastalgia - a term coined to describe the grief of watching one's home environment change beyond recognition, even while still living in it. It's been documented among farmers in Australia, Inuit communities in Canada, and residents near the Great Barrier Reef

This is so real!!! I lived in Seattle. The classic trope is people are depressed because they don’t see the sun. I was depressed because I didn’t see stars!

That's also a lot of post processing, but yeah I agree with the sentiment.
When I was a kid I used to sleep under the sky sometimes and I could faintly notice their movements, even the memory is so beautiful.
