Point Reyes lighthouse and Tomales Point Trail, Jan 2015

A trail through the Tule Elk Reserve with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and is a prime wildlife viewing trail. Sweeping views of the cliffs and beaches to the north gave us an enchanted landscape to admire as a whole. 

It's amazing to have so much nature so close to the city. Point Reyes always impress me for the immensity of the beaches, its open grasslands, brushy hillsides, forested ridges, and the incredible variety of wildlife.

With its stunning coastal wilderness, the landscape is vast and smooth. Walking along the trail, is charming to see nature be herself and us be just minuscule creature passing through it.

North Pole Night

During the flight back to the States, we crossed the North Pole at night, and the view was charming. The moon was the only glimmer of light in the vast dark blue. Ice and snow on the ground like veins, vast stretch endlessly, reflecting the deep sky, forming a unique single color canvas. Smooth, cold and lonely.

Double Sky

Crater Lake, Oregon USA
Oct 2014

Crater Lake: the deepest lake in US (655 m), a real gem. Mother Nature here made something really incredible: the lake was formed around 7,700 years ago by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama, then snow and rain filled the crater, creating a spectacular wonder.

There are two skies: one so clear and vast and the other so blue and deep. It’s like been in a different world.
