This summer I’ve been hiking in northern Sweden again. I explored the mountain area to the north of Sarek around Sweden’s tallest peak Kebnekaise. Contrary to Sarek there are marked hiking trails in the area – among them the famous Kungsleden. Cabins are available as well but the region is not overcrowded at all. There are lots of remote areas with no or only infrequently hiked trails.
In spring I travelled to Brittany (France). The major attraction for me as landscape photographer was the coastline. Also the cities (like Saint-Malo) are beautiful and worth a visit. While I was positively surprised by the cities which I expected to be “tourist traps” as the area is a major travel destination, the landscape left me a bit disappointed. It is often scarred from the sheer quantity of visitors and the coast is made accessible by at least one parking area every single kilometer. Well, I am exaggerating a bit.
This winter I have been on a short trip to Lanzarote which is part of the Canary islands. Although you will certainly be not alone there it is still worth a visit. There are interesting hiking routes as well as beautiful locations for landscape photographers.
Finally I managed to complete the gallery of this year’s visit in Sarek. Click the image below to explore it.
