This was on our wish list for a while now. Travel to Lapland, above the arctic circle, experience the snow and the cold, the wide open space and nature. Also, snowshoeing, dogsledding, going out in the wilderness with snowmobiles had also something to do with wanting to go to Lapland.
Read MoreThe fourth and final post of my Dolomite trip back in September, times flies. They say save the best for last, the previous three post you can find here first - second - third, so I did and boy this was the best day of the week. Tre Cime di Lavaredo did not disappoint, however I expected or wished for a more spectacular sunset.
Read MoreThe first half of this bog is about Lago di Braies (Pragser Wildsee) and the idea to take multiple photos from different viewpoints.

Read MoreHere we are again, winter and it’s snowing. The whole country is in chaos, traffic jams up to 2300km in total last evening. However I can only think of one thing! Get out and shoot the next day, in search of foxes in the snow. So let’s go to the dunes, again. Nature here I come.
