Zion National Park, Utah

Welcome to Utah! Land of polygamy (and beer).

Where mornings are beautiful (and early),

especially if you go to Zion National Park!

Where cool people go for a hike, alone…

The huge canyons are truly impressive,…

and full of wildlife! Like this beautiful moth that needed rescue from a terrible drowning death (or so we think).

Zion, beautiful nature, as evidenced by this backdrop of the Checkerboard Mesa.

Weekendje Jervis Bay

Once in a while you need to switch off and get away from everything – family, work, stress, people, internet – except each other. Jervis Bay is the perfect place to go…

But be careful of your bread, because there are thievesesss around!

If you’re a photographer, you will of course start talking to the thieves (in English, they’re Australian) and ask if you can take their portrait.

Yeah this fishing line didn’t catch a thing, but Bram probably just wanted to show how long it was 😉

The next day we hiked to our own private little paradise, also called Steamers Beach, nestled between giant rocky cliffs and only accessible by foot.

We also met a couple of Echidna’s…

Who were too busy to talk to us – digging their noses in somebody else’s antsy business.

Jervis Bay is famous for its turquoise water and white sandy beaches. And the good-looking fauna of course 😉
