When the sun is setting, between dusk and darkness, there is a moment when the light turns blue. And the world stops for a heartbeat.
In the second day of the conference, we went ziplining. I guess you can justify it with all the benefits of team building, but we just did it because it was fun. Despite the very hot weather. And the climbing.
Aylin and the starfish.
Only in South Africa will you ever share a conference venue with zeebras, wilderbeest, kudus and monkeys…
Life is hectic at the moment. For all the wrong reasons. But when you are really busy, there is nothing you need more than a break.
Three hours to Bruges, Belgium. Three nights. Small moments of peace.
If you wonder why I have so many after-the-sunset pictures… There isn’t exactly that many hours of daylight in here at the moment. Very quaint. Very Christmassy.
When I was a child, I found it impossible to stay awake in a car for any prolonged periods of time (anyhting above 1.5 minutes). Thus it is a great surprise for both me and my mother that roadtripping has become a travel of choice for me and Stuart. We’ve done some amazing trips all over the world – and living in the middle of Europe is an opportunity not to be missed. This year, part of our summer holidays was spend driving across Germany to Czech Republic, down cross the Czech and back through Germany.
The biggest joy for us is the freedom of roadtripping – we book no hotels ahead of time, nor do we plan what we want to do. We can check out an interesting looking town market near Karlovy Vary or climb up a hill we stumble across on our way to Kutna Hora. When we feel like not driving for the day, we stop and spend the day reading in the central park of Dresden. Whatever our fancy.
At the end, the holiday ends up being like the pictures below – a random collection of feel-good-moments.
There are few nice moments in business travel. Surprisingly Seattle proved to be a great place to meet friends from Finland. Thank you Siru and Lasse for making my days!
For every city there is that one thing that makes it to all photos. In Seattle, the needle was just kitsch enough to be gorgeous.
On Saturday, the skies opened – a day for indoor photography, And wet shoes.
Introduction to Finnish autumn. Lingonberries. Swamp. Horse flies.
All worth it for the colors alone.
