Travel theme: Mystical

Mystical, Ailsa of Where’s my backpack says, is an evocative term with many nuances. I chose this word because it can be interpreted in so many ways. It can mean spiritually symbolic, otherworldly, ethereal or mysterious. I also love how this word sounds when you speak it aloud, and I can’t help but associate it with mists that conceal the everyday, cloaking the mundane in a veil of mystery. The verb ‘to mystify’; to make mysterious or obscure, is derived from the words mystic and mystery. Ooh, the possibilities are endless.

Did you know that water is very mystical? Well, I didn’t, until I saw my selection of photos and the one element that links them: water. Will you join me in these mystical places and see where they will lead us?

And of course a photo of one of the most mystical beings on earth
