Second time in slovenia and this time lots of snow. Lots. of. it. I had scouted a nice position up hill and had everything planned. Would start a hike around 0500am, with snow shoes up hill so I would have enough time for my shot. Then 4 days before I get to Slovenia: snow storm. It basically made it impossible for me to walk to where I planned. The hotel said the risk of avalanche was too high so I had to "improvise" with what I had in hand. Remember the cool story about me going up hill like a cool, pun intended, crazy Indiana Jones? Nope. Just stepped out of my hotel room basically and waiting for sunrise. The only sunrise I had at my stay, dreadful weather. Anyway, it was a nice surprise since the sunrise w
Behind the golden mountains (Inle Lake, Myanmar)
Photography can be a rewarding hobby sometimes. Took this shot in a hurry, parked outside of a highway, with my better half in a hurry and when I got home this came out. *pat myself in the back once more*
A ride back in time (Bagan, Myanmar)
Wake up at 0500am. Hop on electric scooter. Navigate your way through a pot hole filled highway with lots of trucks around. Squeeze between loads of other tourists, photographers for the best spot. Worth it!
Colorfull Marina Bay (Singapore)
Cliches are there for a reason. But coming to Singapore and not taking a shot at the Marina Bay is like going to Paris and not going to eat some croissants. 😁
D'Ouro colors (Porto, Portugal)
Portuguese holidays with wife and grandma across. Porto is one of the places in Portugal I have to come back to. Big city but still with a relaxed vibe.
Fiery sky at Aavasaksa (Finnish Lapland)
So a bit of back story: I lived in Finland for 9 years and for all of this time I have only seen Northern Lights twice and they were very faint. So then I moved out of Finland, to Sweden, and went back to the North for Christmas and BAM. From the 7 nights I spent in the Finnish Lapland 5 of those was with some cinematic Northern Lights. It is quite the show: I had lights "dancing" straight over my head, different colours and different durations of it, over the hills, forrest, villages, barns... You name it. I was amazed and happy that I could experience such an event. A perfect "good-bye" from Finland.
Impossible to get remotely uninteresting while driving in Iceland. From plain fields, to mountains, to volcanic rocks... Just point the camera.
Still waters under the bridge (Amarapura, Myanmar)
Peaceful and quite this place is isn't it? Well get ready to arrive early because by 0700 hoardes of tourists will join you to see the monks and locals going on about their business.
Towards the mountain (Iceland)
Iceland is just so full of surprises. One moment you are driving through a lot of nothing then the landscape reveals majestic places like this. And this is only a road. The potential for astonishing views in this country is nothing short of amazing.
Golden Chapel - Capela Dourada / Recife - Brazil
A small chapel in Recife's old town. And covered in gold. The paintings are a spectacle on its own with many details to be found, like the ones from the crucifixion of the Jesuit priests, that can be seen on the lower left and right of the photo, were defaced many many years ago by locals that did not agree with the practice. Talk about an error that it is still felt today.
