The picturesque landscapes of Kerala, often cloaked in the soft veils of mista scene beautifully captured in the idyllic images emerging from places like Janakkala, Finland, with hashtags like #usva #fog #mist #mistymorning #countryside #yleluonto #uusiluontokuva #mtvsaastand in stark contrast to the darker corners of the internet where the same term is used to categorize and commodify individuals.
