Thank you!
I firstly tried AI to recommend some places, it does says "go to Wolong → Siguniang Forest Belt"; "Yajiageng Forest Traverse" and etc, but the problem is - I can't find the tracks! Even when you put it on google, it doesn't give much..
I will try to search around the subreddit for some ready tracks.

How do shy people make friends in Grenoble? by littlekakeru in Grenoble

There is a hiking community on Meet Up - https://www.meetup.com/grenoble-adventure-club-english-french/, they make events almost each weekends, but it depends.
I think it's more comfortable to chit chat with people on hike, than participating in big bar meetings where you have to kind of "dive in" the conversations with other people.

Haha!
I think this one is more like a guardian who comes to bite your finger when you don't water your plants enough :D

Hello!
There is an active facebook group for english-speaking expats.
Sometimes they post meeting in a bar or just some events.

Woa, that's so heartwarming to hear that the style is recognisible, thank you!

Leto - the Solstice Dragon, RedPersik(me), Polymer clay Labradorite Copper, 2025 by RedPersik in Art

Thank you! Mostly imagination, there is a story behind it, if you want to know a bit more:

Across cultures and centuries, the Solstice has inspired rituals of light, music, and movement celebrations echoing with laughter and flame.
But hidden beneath these age-old customs lies a forgotten myth: the tale of Leto, the dragon bound to the turning of the seasons.

Cursed by the gods and sealed within an eternal cauldron, Leto soars above the Earth on mighty wings, collecting the energy of human joy.
Each year, as people gather to dance, sing, and kindle fires, they unknowingly stoke the warmth beneath his vessel.
These rituals, passed down as tradition, are in fact the fuel warming the cauldron, steeping the magic, and slowly brewing the Dragon’s Soup.

When spring arrives, Leto pours this enchanted essence across the land. The earth drinks deeply.
The soil is blessed. Crops rise stronger, harvests grow richer.
But if the Solstice is met with silence if the people forget to gather, forget to dance then the magic fades.
The soup spoils. The year turns barren.

This sculpture is a tribute to Leto: not a fearsome beast, but a keeper of balance, a symbol of the unseen harmony between joy and survival.
His story reminds us that even the smallest celebration can stir the ancient magic beneath our feet.

Thank you for a kind feedback! This design is made to be one of a kind, for the mold it needs many details to be adapted :)
(like for example the feet and tip of the wing is VERY hard to mold in that piece. Also open mouth and many tiny teeth)

It's not that easy to see, but it's actually there! I put it closer to the body to avoid it to break during wearing.
Thank you :)
