Latest update (February 2020) = Southwards to Antarctica
This website features images taken during my inspiring journeys around the world. Many are related to my job in international development cooperation, but also from hiking and biking tours at home and in Europe. The aim is to capture the outdoor world and my encounter with people how I have seen it - as an observer of nature and welcomed by the people I had the privilege to work with.
Images are original camera JPG files with Olympus and Nikon compact cameras. Since 2015, RAW photos with Leica Q, Leica V and Fujifilm X-T2 are processed with LR Classic CC
