The Grampians is a mountain area/national park in Victoria, Australia. I visited the national park during a tour along the Great Ocean Road. We hiked for a few hours and about halfway we stopped for a lunch break where we had this amazing view! In the bottom right of the photo you can see some buildings,ContinueContinue reading “The Grampians”

Is this made of…wooood?
The island of Vlieland, a small island jam-packed with amazing scenery, ranging from beach to dunes to a beautiful forest with soft tracks and heaps of tall trees. It was lovely exploring the forest with no set plan in mind. Just wandering around, enjoying the peace and quiet. When I take photographs, I find compositionContinueContinue reading “Is this made of…wooood?”
A big sandbox
The Dutch coast, a big sandbox bathing in sunlight. It’s such a nice area to soak up some salty air and feel the wind in your face. I love how on these photos the sand contrasts with the blue skies and darker cloudy haze in the distance. I believe I took these pictures a few yearsContinueContinue reading “A big sandbox”
Near Bow Falls, Banff
Although I’ve seen very little of Canada (so far), what I did see was beautiful! I definetly want to see heaps more! 🙂 Banff N.P. in Alberta is a beautiful area and I highly recommend a visit. When I went to Banff, the town, I did some light hiking along the Bow river. As I walkedContinueContinue reading “Near Bow Falls, Banff”

The thicker the sock, the more wool is generally used. Thicker socksContinueContinue reading “Socks!”
Island ingredients: wind, salty air, clouds and sun
Last weekend I spent a few days on the beautiful island of Vlieland. I’d never been to one of the Dutch islands before, so I was excited to go! I went over because a friend and her husband were going to run half a marathon (crazy sporty people! 🙂 ) and I would cheer them on!ContinueContinue reading “Island ingredients: wind, salty air, clouds and sun”
One glacier please, sunny not stirred
This is Franz Josef glacier on the South Island of New Zealand. This was the first time that I ever saw a glacier and I thought it was very impressive! The weather was amazing that day, so the colours and shadows of the ice made this a really spectacular view for me. I hiked onContinueContinue reading “One glacier please, sunny not stirred”
Arthurs Pass
Arthurs Pass is a tiny town somewhere in the middle of the South Island of New Zealand. Wikipedia teaches me there are about 54 residents (wow), not counting the backpackers that visit this interesting place. It didn’t have that ‘end of the world feeling’ that I was expecting, but maybe that was the huge trucks thatContinueContinue reading “Arthurs Pass”
