The magnificent Medea Sanatorium which has sadly been walled off and non-bribable security placed in front just about two weeks before I visited cause some tourist fell off a terrace or something… so drone and distant shots only but go google how majestic it looks inside! Georgia, 8.2026

The vibe is very much something between waiting for the doctor in some soviet place vs The Grand Budapest Hotel. Same goes for the treatments. No english, hand gestures only, but friendly :) and there seem lots of websites but very confusing re who owns what: www.sanatoriums.com/en/tskaltubo...

Bathhouse nr 6 inside. There are corridors of waiting areas and each door leads to a small changing area and then the individual bath. The baths are separated by walls, with the end section open which forms a long corridor for the staff to walk through and perform all the different treatments.

Bathhouse nr.6, the only open working bathhouse left (besides another that i think is not open to random people). They clean the bath tubs after each user and replace the entire water, and you can get hydro massages and all kinds of very specific treatments. The water is also a little radioactive :P

The magnificent defunct Bathhouse nr.8 in Tskaltubo Georgia. I wish they would renovate it historically accurately and reopen it. I absolutely love the UFO shape! 💚 8.2026

Autumn has arrived at ours, fresh foggy mornings, cozy rainy days, and the deep instinctual desire to pick mushrooms and read books by the fire. But before, one last goodbye to summer.

Max, son of Igor the Teahut Guardian, and Quattro the Ferocious, waiting at the starting line to be put on the team. He was mostly admirable, sometimes impish, but had a very adorable sneaky angel face way about it 😁 Kiruna, dec 2022

Kiruna, feb 2025. Did you know that operating a bulldozer becomes part of the skills you need to comfortably get through the winter if you live quite remote with a larger property? The roads and paths ain’t gonna clean themselves ;) Even I had a go at it a few times, but in a different place.

Some snapshot memories from living in Kiruna, march 2025. Life out there in nature, far removed from the noise of world-wide politics and happenings, focusing instead on stacking wood and cuddling alaskan huskies (and guiding tours and developing a business but that was fun too).

This is where I stayed last night 🖤 (For real, its called Legends Tskaltubo Spa Resort, and the only sanatorium still operating. They are slowly renovating it and it has a lovely vibe!)

Quick phone snaps from Truso Valley I’m exploring today. Its also the land of Mitsubishi Delicas, because the roads are seriously rough!

Just reached Tskaltubo, only staying for a night, but went out exploring the old abandoned sanatoriums in the companionship of a very sweet (they all are) stray dog, and dad, who got a go at the camera. What an absolutely fascinating town!! Soon these places will be gone :(

Alta - Norway, 2025 The little kota in the first picture was my residence for a bit while I worked up there. And the aurora never ceases to amaze 💚

Meidan Bazar, Georgia Straight out of Harry Potter, and such a great idea to display all the historic things on the walls and ceiling!

Currently exploring Tbilisi and I came across this wall on the museum of history’s top floor. I really really really like it and this should be ingrained into the values and vision of every city management.

Magnificent Lofoten, part 1. I almost ended up working for a company in the background of the first photo (Buksnes Church) about 3 years after taking this photo.

Bit of “behind the scenes” of the short excursion to Skjervøya, taking over some tourists (who got their whale tours cancelled) with our team of 16 huskies (I worked as business developer and musher there). And in the evening there was even a bit of time to photograph a snow storm coming in 🤍❄️

Sanja Karin Music @skm.wsocial.eu · 20/08/2026

Magical winter landscape from the island Skjervøya in northern Norway, about half way between Tromsø and Alta. Spent a few days there in dec 2024 on a special assignment while living in Reisa Valley.

Within all this heat, a kind reminder that we are heading back towards colder, crisper times 💙 (Kiruna, Sweden; feb’25 while working as an Arctic guide and working dog trainer)

Some more beautifully colourful and artistic architecture from Parma, Italy. I wish there was more of these elements in modern architecture which so often likes to be so very basic, dull, and “just functional”.

Some ceiling decor inspiration from Parma, Italy :) Recently I’ve watched how a XR headset can help you draw such projects on a bigger scale. It might encourage or enable more people to decorate their homes where they’d otherwise not dare to try. The world could use more colour and playfulness 🎨☀️

Last month exploring Parma, Italy. The photos are of Italian soldiers who were captured by Nazi Germany after Italy changed sides in 1943. Around 600,000 were deported after refusing to continue fighting alongside Germany, many of them ending up as forced labourers.

Photo of a wall of portraits of soldiers in the old city of Parma, Italy.

A few more snaps of this summers drought, shot during a week long pet dog search and rescue mission at the Slovenian coast. The silly pooch was later found alive and well in a cave, of all places, which he fell into when he bolted out of his owners car and went solo exploring :)

Dry farm land and vineyards shot with a drone during a pet dog search and rescue volunteer mission at the Slovenian coast.

A few snapshots from a recent impromptu interview filming of the painter Sergej Hahonin, who lives in Slovenia, and his family. It was a very random meet-up as a young US filmmaker was traveling through Europe searching for creative souls and I had some free time. Lovely folks :)

Interview with Russian painter living in Slovenia. Closeup of his colourful abstract paintings.

Interview with Russian painter living in Slovenia. The interviewer receiving a quick sketched portrait of herself. She is very happy about it.

Interview with Russian painter living in Slovenia. He also has a big collection of old stamps and postcards and shows those in meticulously organised binders while his daughter who works as a Zaha Hadid architect comments on it.

Interview with Russian painter living in Slovenia. His somewhat camera-shy wife showing some more of his paintings. And a closeup of his painting tools.
