▴ Niagara Falls

This is quite an old photo from a trip to Canada, visiting an old friend from my time studying abroad. It took a bit of convincing to get him out into the icy cold that morning — but with the faint glow of sunrise in the distance and the icy mist rolling off the falls in the foreground, it turned out to be one of my favorite shots. (Not sure my friend would say the same, though)

▴ Breitachklamm

Located near the town of Oberstdorf, the Breitachklamm is one of the deepest accessible gorges in Central Europe. This massive boulder, wedged between the narrow rock walls, marks one of its most striking features along the scenic trail. Even though it’s not a particularly challenging hike, the dramatic scenery makes it a surprisingly stunning one.

▴ Abisko National Park

Abisko National Park, located in the far north of Sweden above the Arctic Circle, serves as the starting point of the famous Kungsleden hiking trail in the warmer months. In winter, it transforms into a prime destination for aurora hunting due to the long nights. But even during the daylight-starved season, shorter hikes through the snow-covered landscape can be just as magical — especially during the prolonged twilight hours.

▴ El Chaltén

Just outside of El Chaltén, several viewpoints provide breathtaking views of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre—mountains that are not only among Patagonia’s most iconic landmarks but also some of the most famous peaks in the world. Their jagged, dramatic profiles make them a dream destination for hikers drawn to their distinct appearance and climbers eager to conquer their challenging peaks.
