“Kamaya.” Shortlist, Wildlife & Nature. From a project named Guardians of the Jungle, exploring encounters with wild western lowland gorillas in the Congo Basin. Hugo Hebbe: “Kamaya sits in full majesty, gazing into the distance in the jungle of Gabon. His massive frame dominates the image, imposing yet composed. Although fully wild, he has grown accustomed to human presence.”

@paparatti Therefore, I love it to be here. Mastodon gave me a maximum of listeners, when I talked about #moss: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moss-the-emerald-treasure/id1630784381?i=1000707856049

You can talk about the most interesting topics but moss is grounding people, it's miniature worlds are easy and cheap to visit ... I was surprised how much people are interested ... not only on Mastodon.
