Life at the foot of Cotopaxi

While awaiting my attempt to conquer Cotopaxi I spent one morning observing life in a food market in Saquisilí. Here are some impressions.

The brutal destiny of one of many pigs.

Also spent a fair bit of time simply enjoying the view from the roof top at Hostal Tijana.

The moonscapes of southern Utah - an epic place to spend a Friday afternoon. Except I’m not, I’m tucked in under a blanket on the couch back home in Sweden, battling a cold and waiting for the rain to start pissing down outside the window again. In other words, just as epic.

Money makes the world go round they say, but try to make it go round without water and fresh air. Photo from a bluebird day in the mountains of Zermatt last year; Alex demonstrating a fine way of using the local oxygen. #buyless #livemore #blackfriday #blackfuture

Two seasons colliding at Two Jack Lake, two weeks back - a place of undeniable beauty that’s been photographed approximately 500 gazillion times. I often wonder what it felt like to stand by these tourist hotspots alone in silence, before the bus loads of people started arriving. Or even back before roads, when indigenous people still called these woods home, and respected them for their sacredness. Time changes everything, but we’re speeding it up like never before.

Wrapped up another six months in this spectacular playground on a frozen turquoise sea with this lovely chick. Apart from a fish cruising by beneath the transparent ice we had the place for ourselves, and our grins stuck to our faces to the point it hurt... Another one for the memory bank.

Once upon a time in Washington. Love the forests and they will love you back 🌿💛

Natural wonders by the Pacific, where temperate rainforests stolen out of fairy tales meet an equally marvellous coastline. Swim beyond that soothing vista and you’ll soon hit a more sobering reality known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch; the largest accumulation zone of ocean plastic on Earth. If our planet thrives we do too, but the opposite is just as true and some days it’s hard not to feel the urge to crawl up in a ball and cry for how little the general public seem to understand our interconnectedness. Happy weekend y’all 🥳

The latest addition to my print gallery; a shot from a glorious autumn evening in my favourite mountains a few weeks back. What I wish the millions of people visiting this part of the world each year would fully understand is that we are part of this, not spectators. I wish everybody would bring that back home with them, and let it be a friendly reminder that we should live life accordingly. One of my many dreams is for my photos to find their way to the homes of people and inspire a similar set of emotions on a daily basis. If you know someone who might like this photo on their wall, feel free to tag and share. It really helps ❤️

This place... I spent two serene weeks here, in a wooden cabin far, far away from it all - reading, paddling, fishing, hot tubbing, swimming, doing acro yoga - before we got wings and took off to our next destination, even deeper into this First Nation wilderness. What amazes me again and again when I align myself with the flow of things is the remarkable people I tend to attract into my life, as well as all those random, incredible experiences. Be truly grateful for what you have and you’ll soon find yourself having a thousand more things to feel grateful for. Happy I had @timothy_tan93 to share the joys of this chapter of my summer with, because happiness shared doubles.

Christian in his natural habitat. 🏔 You can’t tell from picture no. 2 but heavy loads of rain were actually being dumped all around us, which turned this 12-pitch Canmore classic into a fun vertical race. Of all the mountains I’ve seen in the world the Canadian Rockies still inspires me the most.
