Getting up early isn’t that easy and being on time at airports in the morning isn’t either! But a sunrise like this is very enjoyable, especially having such a great view down at the buildings, the streets and the trees which are getting smaller and smaller. Knowing that the TAP airline machine was going to land in beautiful Lisbon was the cherry on the cake. | airplane on sky during golden hour

A week ago friends and I went on a little roadtrip to the West of Ireland. We’ve seen so many different and beautiful scenic spots that I simply have to call it the best weekend I had here in the country. | aerial photo of plains

This striking black and white photograph captures a solitary figure walking with an umbrella past a graffiti-covered storefront on a rainy day in New York City. The composition centers on the pedestrian, whose umbrella contrasts sharply against the gritty urban backdrop. The monochrome palette and overcast lighting create a moody, atmospheric scene that highlights the raw, authentic texture of the city streets.

I went on a daytrip to the tallest cliffs of Ireland. I always loved to take photographs of landscapes… mainly because it calms me down. But these steep cliffs terrified me in the first place! People were dangeling their feet over the edge: I got goosebumps watching it. After some minutes I found a less crowded place to relax. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale… I was watching the waves hitting the cliffs. And I definitely got lost in doing that. | body of water beside island

A place I used to see every single time I visited Denmark is Blokhus. Although it might be crowded and touristy from time to time in summer it’s extremly enjoyable just to relax sitting in the dunes and watching the people and cars passing by at the beach. | mountain covered by grass beside the seashore
Nils Nedel
Honestly… I don’t really like crowded places. “But Nils, why are you visiting the capital of Northern Ireland then?” In deed, a good question to ask. I really enjoyed the city and the sightseeing that came with it, don’t get me wrong on this, but in the middle of the day I had to get some air and some space for me and my thoughts. So I decided to take a step aside and roam the parks of Belfast. Especially in this season it seems to be super lovely with all the colors. | two person on street near trees
