We are a landscape of all we have seen

My comfort zone is landscape photography! Or basically any kind of nature photography. I think my blog kind of (totally) gives it away, haha!

“Don’t underestimate the value of doing nothing” – Winnie the Pooh – I’m reflecting on a busy week at work. I love my job and I secretly love being busy at times too.

I enjoyed these adventurous water voyages, untilContinueContinue reading “See the line where the sky meets the sea, it calls me”
