“It’s sunny today. You’d better get out there and enjoy it while it lasts, because Vancouver is famous for its rainy days.” That’s what one of my roommates said to me at the hostel in downtown Vancouver. She was staying long-term on her working-holiday visa and had already experienced the many sides that this friendly,ContinueContinue reading “Sunny Vancouver”

Over the hills and far away
This photo is from just outside Takaka, a small town in sunny Golden Bay. I especially love the layers in this photo. The fence, the grass, the crops, the trees and the mountains. Even the clouds pitch in to paint a pretty picture! 😉
Stones in the water
Another one of my favourite photos from my two-day hike along the Vasaloppsleden trail. I especially love the contrast between the brown stones in the water and all those green surroundings. Sweden is such a beautiful country!

These days, you can still see the earthen structure of the ring, as you can see on the bottom picture. It was aContinueContinue reading “Hunneschans”

We stayed in the beautiful province of Dalarna in a tiny place called Venjan. My absolute highlight of the week was a two-day, 36 km hike along the Vasaloppsleden trail. It was beautiful!ContinueContinue reading “Camp with a view”
Pastels
I love the colours that accompany the setting sun. In this photo, I particularly love the haziness and the almost pastel colours of the landscape before me, as I travel through the Dutch landscape.
Survey on the river Meuse
It was the summer of 2009, I was working hard on my thesis and about to graduate from uni. I was full of hopes and dreams of having a career in archaeology. ‘Via via’ I was able to join in on a survey on the river Meuse for a few days, because ‘you never know, you mightContinueContinue reading “Survey on the river Meuse”
