where being naked online is OK
Has your daily routine been affected by the covid-19 epidemic ? We have been a little more restricted to staying within our own home, although that hasn’t been such a major change it has been more noticed when we have really wanted to be with other members of our small family. We don’t usually have … Read more
After a tiring and bizarre year 2020, I wish you a happy, beautiful and naked year. While many wish to quickly forget 2020, it has also enabled some to discover the joy of living naked at home, through remote working, and thus contributed to expanding the naturist population. It made people discover remote encounters with digital … Read more
A tree that has become dry from the ivy has fallen, almost blocking the way. But a passage remained, I passed through it and a word formed in my mind: it seemed to me that I was coming out of a tunnel. This is my wish for all Naktiv-friends: to get out of our tunnels … Read more
Irresistible to be there this morning after a few days of rain. And to feel embraced by the light, by the landscape: I have names for everything I see: Monte Guglielmo, the strip of Lake Iseo, Monte Isola, the little church of Cremignane. The fresh morning air wakes me up better than a shower; the … Read more

The pleasure of a summer walk in the mountains has become a silent prayer, a grateful appreciation of my surroundings, the deep consolation of being a child of mother nature.
My attempt at gardening here in Central Texas has been an unpleasant flop. Due to virtually NO rain all last year and I not wanting to go out and water EVERY day has turned me against standard gardening. It’s FAR easier to just go buy it at the store. I’m not giving up completely, I … Read more
As the festive season approaches and thoughts of ‘decorating’ the tree or even your home bring palpitations. We remember years gone by when our home was filled with family & close friends, all adding to the wonderful atmosphere and the hopes of better times ahead. This year sadly my wife & I will be alone, … Read more
In Autumn you can understand the reasons of a whole year. Different colours are tuned together, different beings and things match perfectly: this is the picture I have in mind. Thousands of words are ready to be spoken. The real world-natural world says it better with silence.
I have seen kindness from an unexpected person that has restored my faith in my fellow man. My wife has been in hospital now for 2 weeks, she needed to have a small but urgent operation on her bowel. After the operation which was very successful she developed unexpected complications quite suddenly. When I was … Read more
During the confinement, no chance to be caught. The ailanthus tree is half-naked
I was alone and naked in the dark. Only the stars were seeing me. I just felt close to God.
I mentioned Gough many years ago on this site. Does anyone here remember Vincent Bethel? and if you do, what are/were your thoughts about him at the time? I moved to Norwich City Centre in August. Very warm… and a great place to be. Having met some great people in a restaurant, I decided to … Read more
May not be warm enough for (me) to swim, but it’s warm enough for a paddle! Both Polly and I went knee-deep, being a fair-weather-beach person I scampered out fairly quickly. Had the entire beach to ourselves All on November 14th wonderful!
You might have heard about it on other social media, this symbol was chosen as the Naturist Symbol. It is meant to recognize each other even when we have to wear clothes. A lot if information about the birth of the symbol can be found on the website www.naturistsymbol.org And the symbol can be downloaded … Read more
November in Tarragona, a place famous for extremely strong winds which will keep even the hardiest off the peaks. Well, after a week of rain (which the grass needed) and as the sun came out I thought it the perfect time to take the Polly for a hike “out back”. Our tour took us up … Read more
What my eyes see goes to form my mood. Faced with something harmonious, it also harmonizes my spirit. Without conceptual filters, without aesthetic canons. It is a simple and natural bliss: like an anticipation of paradise. Today begins the second wave of containment. There could be no better contrast. For three weeks we will not … Read more
The landscape of the countryside that I see when I go for a short walk is now familiar. But sometimes it still surprises me. So I enjoy those moments, and in the meantime, I begin to notice a thousand things that I hadn’t noticed before. The red maple tree reminds me of Indian summer, the … Read more
The sense of protection that I feel coming from nature reassures me totally; it is a life insurance policy. Safety on life is something inherent in nature; it is part of the project. There is no comparison with our small means: police, army, laws, hospitals, insurance companies, mafias and a thousand other points of support. … Read more
I have committed a small book of photos of self-portraits with trees. Another way of looking at naturist hikes. https://www.blurb.fr/b/10337448-arbres-nus
It was just in time that I hade a week in the sun two weeks ago. Now I am having such a different weather…
Last week I had my vacation. East part of the Algarve, next to Spain. The summer was still there.
Returned from my week vacation on the seaside (southeast Portugal, the Algarve) i returned to my “working from home” blues.
