This is one of a set of postcards that feature words that hold special meanings and feelings and don’t have a direct English equivalent. Each word is paired with a photo I’ve taken that evokes that feeling.
This postcard features a view of Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Islands in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It is paired with the German word "fernweh."
FERNWEH - German / n. / fiern-vay - Homesickness for the unknown; the call of call of faraway places. Lit. “far pain.” 🧡📸🌎
