A lot has happened since I last shared anything on here. In mid may, Eric and I moved back to Vancouver which has been a bit of an adjustment but overall it’s quite nice to be back. There are a lot of new things we’re discovering, and moving home made me really appreciate things here a lot more.. especially the nature that really makes the Pacific North West what it is. Before moving home we did a trip to Scotland, the first part of which we spent in Glasgow visiting some friends of ours. These are just a few shots from around the city. After Glasgow we headed into the Scottish Highlands which was a really amazing experience. I’ll share more photos from the trip soon. Hope you are all enjoying the summer.
Just a few photos from my camping trip in September.. what a great way to spend a sunny afternoon. These were taken at Baker Lake in Washington State.
This summer my family came to visit me for my graduation and after we went on a 2.5 week trip to Germany. We spent the first few days in Berlin, then traveled south to Saxony [Freistaat Sachsen] and spent almost a week there before returning to Berlin. These photos were taken at the Bastei, near Kurort Rathen. The landscape here reminded me of one of my favourite paintings, Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer by the Romantic period painter Caspar David Friedrich. It was really beautiful up there.. I realized that since I moved to the Netherlands I find myself missing the mountains a lot. Overall the trip was great, plus I got some much needed German practice in. More photos to come soon!
One of my best friends back home has a cabin in Washington state and the nearest town is called Concrete. There are about 700 people living there and although it’s not the most happening place we still had fun exploring the ‘downtown’ strip. These were taken back in September already.. I’m missing the West Coast terribly, even though I was just back a few weeks ago for Christmas!
