Here are a few of my favourite moments captured in the mountains. Be it skiing, climbing or camping, the sun the wind and the snow fill our senses with all the vastness of the outdoors. So climb high and look far!

We cut a straight line through the powdery snow, which fell only a few days ago. The sky is bright blue
