Like a Caspar David Friedrich painting, there are landscapes that you hardly forget. These images are guaranteed to last a lifetime. In a few words, there are places with such an amazing energy, that after you visit them, the inspiration sticks with you. And moments like that, where you can let nature speak to you, renew your soul and give you new strength. The pictures below are part of a large collection of great memories from places I've visited. Every single photo has its story, but in the end, that story has the same aim: to marvel at the sheer power of nature.
We live in a beautiful world, yeah we do.

I live for beautiful sunsets: the Plansee near Reutte, Tyrol, Austria

I took this picture during the coffee tour at Finca Lérida, Boquete, Panamá. It was one foggy morning...

When taking this picture, I wanted to capture daily life of fishermen in the Guayas River, Guayaquil, Ecuador.

Another unforgettable sunset: Guayas Province, Ecuador

El Cajas National Park in the pronvince of Azuay, Ecuador. Its only 30 kms from Cuenca. The name derives from the Quichua word "cassa" which means gateway to the snowy mountains

Few words can describe the moment when I was taking this picture. The Alps are a part of my sweetest childhood memories.

Bogotá by night as seen from the Monserrate was breathtaking to me

Barú Volcano, Boquete, Panamá

My father and I at the pyramids of Teotihuacán, México. A dream come true.

The stunning Cayambe Volcano can be seen from everywhere at the town Tabacundo, north of Quito, Ecuador

On a visit to Granada, Spain, President Bill Clinton said he saw the best sunsets in the world. I totally agree. Photo taken while walking the Albayzín district.
