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. 😉
Where an adventure began
I can honestly say that the Routeburn Track was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I wanted to do a trekking for ages and in January 2012, that dream finally became a reality. Before the ‘real thing’ started, I had to cross two swing bridges, of which this is one. Not aContinueContinue reading “Where an adventure began”
Two Jack Lake
Early May in Alberta and Two Jack Lake is slowly being revealed thanks to the melting ice. The air was crisp and despite the cloudy skies, I highly enjoyed this beautiful view.

Arthur’s Pass is beautiful. Lush in greens, trees, shrubs…and amazing views! On my way to the Devil’s Punchbowl Falls I saw this view, perfectly framed with trees on all sides. I had to stop for a minute to enjoy it. Okay, maybe more than a minute! 🙂

There were only three tourists on the tour, a Taiwanese couple (who had never seen snow before) and myself. 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”
Alpine gaze
Mt. Cook, or Aoraki in Maori, has many different ‘faces’. I posted about it here, here and here, and I still can’t get enough of this amazing, majestic mountain. Whether gazed upon from afar or marvelled at from right under its ‘nose’, I find this place very special. Alpine areas fascinate me, because we don’tContinueContinue reading “Alpine gaze”
