Trekking through the lush green forests and getting higher and higher up the mountain. Every once in a while I had to stop and take a picture to capture how much I had hiked to get there. The Routeburn Track was amazing to do and seeing these pictures again fills me with that fuzzy warm feeling of pride and nostalgia.ContinueContinue reading “Climb every mountain”

Coca-cola landscape
Approaching Lake Louise, Alberta, the landscape turned into the most amazing snowy picture perfect scenery. It felt like we were driving into the set of a Coca-cola commercial or a Christmas postcard. Tall trees covered in the most amazing powdery snow. I had never seen anything like it. Beautiful!
Promise of a beautiful day
I took this photo at the beginning of the Routeburn Track. The haziness in the background, the sun trying to break through the clouds, it held the promise of a beautiful day. The first leg of the trek consisted almost exclusively of climbing, so I enjoyed the ‘flat bits’ while it lasted. 😉

The tour guide was a bit weird, but he did show us amazingContinueContinue reading “On the road again”

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”
