The instrument is a Pungi (pronounced POON-gee) β€” also called a Been in Hindi. It’s made from a dried gourd with bamboo pipes.

You're right, Aziz! πŸ™Œ The Kayan people are originally from Myanmar β€” this photo was taken in northern Thailand, where many Kayan families live today. Did you spot the brass coils on her legs too? πŸ‘€

Sacred traditions preserved through music and heritage. A mesmerizing moment listening to a Kayan woman play music in her village. 🎢✨ Quick Travel Trivia: Do you know which region of Southeast Asia is famous for the long-neck brass coils worn as part of their cultural tradition? πŸ‘‡ #Travel #Culture #Wanderlust #ExploreTheWorld #SoutheastAsia #Thailand

And she's not just beautiful β€” she's a nursery πŸ¦‹ Passion vines are the ONLY food Gulf fritillary caterpillars will eat. Plant the flower, get the butterflies.

Passionflower πŸ’œ This flower has a whole story in its face πŸ’œ Spanish missionaries in the 1600s named it for the Passion of Christ β€” they said the fringed crown was the crown of thorns, the 3 stigmas the nails, the 5 anthers the wounds. Each bloom lives just one day. She doesn't waste it ✨ #Flowers #Nature #Passionflower

Night shift first: lesser long-nosed bats and moths do the pollinating in the dark πŸ¦‡ Then bees and white-winged doves take the morning shift before the blooms close for good.

SAGUARO: The ONE NIGHT FLOWER πŸŒ΅πŸŒ™ Each spring, the giant saguaro's white blooms open after sunset β€” and wilt by the next afternoon. Less than 24 hours for a bat, a moth or a bee to find them. The desert doesn't do encores. #Saguaro #Cactus #Nature πŸ“Έ: SaguaroNPS via Wikimedia Commons

Flip it over and the show disappears β€” the underside is dull brown with eyespots, like a dead leaf πŸ‚ In flight it flashes blue-brown-blue, so predators keep losing it mid-chase

This butterfly is not blue πŸ¦‹πŸ’™ There's zero blue pigment in a blue morpho's wings. Microscopic scales bend the light until only blue bounces back β€” grind the wing to powder and it's just… brown. Nature's greatest magic trick? πŸ‘‡ #Butterfly #Nature #Science πŸ“Έ: Alias 0591 via Wikimedia Commons

the Gothic abbey on a tidal island. Europe's biggest tides (up to 15 m) surround it twice a day. Victor Hugo said the sea rushes in 'at the speed of a galloping horse' 🐎

He MEANT to do that 😱πŸͺ‚ Not an accident β€” this is a planned BASE jump into Majlis al-Jinn, Oman, one of the largest cave chambers on Earth. He leaps through a hole in the roof and freefalls into the dark… on purpose. Would YOU jump? πŸ‘‡ #ExtremeSports #BASEjump #Oman πŸŽ₯: Quest Films via Wikimedia Commons

Why pink? Humpback dolphins are born dark grey and lose pigment as they age β€” blood vessels under the pale skin flush PINK, especially when they're active 🩷 The Oman dolphin is very likely one of these.

A PINK dolphin 🩷🐬 Spotted this week off Qantab Beach in Muscat, Oman β€” swimming alongside its regular grey podmates. Experts haven't confirmed the species yet… Real, or too good to be true? πŸ‘‡ #PinkDolphin #Oman #Wildlife πŸ“Έ: Leonard Reback via Wikimedia Commons
