"Caught in the Storm: A Bad Mood Descends" As the Feigh Burn River raged, mirroring my inner turmoil, I found solace at Dunseverick Falls flowing into the sea. The cascading water seemed to echo my frustrations and anger. In County Antrim, amidst nature's beauty, even the Golden-mantled tamarin appeared captive to its own melancholy. Seeking refuge from my bad mood, I ventured to Fairy Pools and Black Cuillins in Glen Brittle on the Isle of Skye. The majestic landscape of Inner Hebrides reflected my somber state as if mourning with me. It was there that an African lion rested on a rock, surrounded by relentless flies - a metaphor for how negativity can swarm around us. In Londolozi Private Game Reserve's Sabi region, an RF-leopard stalked its prey with determination. Its fierce gaze mirrored my own frustration as life seemed to slip through my fingers like sand on Seilebost beach in North Harris. With a storm approaching these rocks stood firm against adversity just like me. Yet hope lingered among the chaos; a sea otter floated gracefully among kelp off Alaska's coast. Its ability to find peace amidst turbulent waters reminded me that tranquility can be found even in our darkest moments. A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy brought temporary respite from this bad mood with its playful antics and innocent charm. But it was Sundar, the male Bengal tiger patrolling his territory who truly captivated me; his regal presence symbolizing strength despite internal struggles. Reflecting back upon history, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany during World War I experienced despondency at the progress of war while visiting Eastern Front - a reminder that even great leaders are not immune to bad moods. Quarrelsome Queenie and Sulky Susan depicted through colorful lithographs showcased how emotions could consume individuals entirely.
