Taipei, October 2024
A few busy days during a rainy stop-over in the capital city of Taiwan.
Lofotia, August 2024
Renting a car in the hard working miners’ city of Kiruna with an idea of going to Norway for a week in a hired rorbu hut on Moskenes, the southwestern island of the Lofoten. And a road trip with a tent before and after that. We have had an incredible luck with the weather with eastern winds bringing sunny weather for a time long enough for us to make a few very satisfying hikes.
Kōya-san, November 2023
Three nights in the holy mountain site of Kōya-san 高野山 — Buddhist temples, monasteries, and an important mausoleum with a surrounding centuries-old cemetery in deep Japanese cedar woods of the Wakayama prefecture just south of Ōsaka and Kyōto.

La Gomera, March 2022
A week of leisure and hiking on the island of La Gomera. Arriving and leaving with a ferry from Tenerife and staying in a rural house in the beautiful village of Alojera on the forgotten western coast of the island.
South of the Dukla pass, October 2019
One of the not-so-clearly-defined aims of our stay in the Ropki valley in the Beskid Niski in Poland was to reach a cluster of old wooden orthodox churches south of the Dukla pass, the lowest one in the main range of the Carpathian mountains, situated in Slovakia, actually.
Leukerbad, Easter 2017
The spring in Leukerbad, a famous thermal baths site, known since ancient times. The weather as in April, from summer to winter and back. Easter 2017.
