Fresh air, a quieter mind, and a moment to just be.
Sometimes, the simplest things are the ones we need the most.
This is your reminder to slow down and step outside! 🍂

Perception is where observation becomes interpretation. And somewhere between what is and what we perceive it to be,
reality becomes a question.
Perhaps the point isn’t to decide which perspective is right, but to remain open enough to look again, think differently, and make room for perspectives beyond our own.
I think we could all benefit from being a little more open-minded! 🫶🏻
This reflection at sunset, at my favorite lake in Lillomarka (Aurevann), got me thinking about how differently we can experience the very same world. 🌅🌲
The lake didn’t change.
The perspective did.
And I think that’s something worth remembering when we don’t understand someone else’s way of seeing things.
What feels obvious to us can look completely different from where someone else is standing. What doesn’t make sense from our perspective may make perfect sense from theirs.
I think the world would be a little better if we remembered that our perspective is only one window into reality and not the whole view!! 🤍

If you ask me to meet up, I’ll always suggest the outdoors. 🌿🤍

We were simply born on the safer side of the map.
Not because we earned it.
Not because they deserved anything less.
Free Palestine. Free Sudan. Free the Congo. Free Myanmar. Free Yemen. Free Syria. Free Afghanistan. Free Ukraine. Free Haiti.
And freedom, safety and dignity for every person living through conflict, occupation, persecution or displacement.
Somewhere else, people are praying for the very blessings we take for granted every day.
We should never forget that this could be us. We never know where life may take us.
Different places.
Same human life. 🤍
Never forget.
Keep them in our prayers.
May we never become so used to suffering that we stop seeing the people behind it.
And may we keep caring, even when the algorithm moves on.

Sometimes you need to disappear for a little while. Not because you don’t care, but because you do. 🤍
To breathe…
To think…
To find your way back to yourself.
A little time alone can change how you show up for everything and everyone waiting for you when you return. 🌲🍂
Taking a step back isn’t always running away. Sometimes it’s how you come back better.

Somewhere among the trees, with nowhere to rush to. 🤍🌲

This little escape wasn’t planned at all! @_rifadije_ asked if I wanted to join the day before. Even though I already had Gaustatoppen planned and knew it would mean a very long day, I said yes anyway.

I packed my bag the night before, finished my hike, and headed straight to @lauvtretopphytter . Arriving late that evening and waking up among the trees the next morning felt like such a gift 🥹🌿🍂🪾✨☀️

The best moments are usually the ones you don’t plan for. A quiet morning, good company, a walk to the lake, and a few hours to slow down and simply be present. 🍂✨

Very grateful I said yes to this one. 🤍

Nothing much. Just enough. 🍂
Sometimes getting outside doesn’t have to mean an adventure. Sometimes it’s just a quiet place, a little fresh air, and noticing what’s already around you.✨

The waves don’t solve anything. They just make everything feel a little easier to carry. Sitting there listening to the waves, looking at the birds and seeing the clouds change colors - there is something so peaceful about that and it’s probably the reason I keep coming back.

Field notes:

Subject appears to have a habit of turning short hikes into scenic expeditions.
Easily distracted by small things.
Detours remain frequent.
Previous encounters with mud have failed to discourage the behaviour.
Sunsets are photographed long after sufficient evidence has been collected.

No corrective action has been taken. Pattern appears to be permanent.

Vettisfossen really does feel like something out of a fantasy.

With 275 metres of free fall, it’s Norway’s highest protected waterfall and the hike through Utladalen is as beautiful as the waterfall itself. Along the way, you’ll pass several other waterfalls, turquoise water, old buildings and some SERIOUSLY unreal scenery!!

And the best part?

You can see Vettisfossen from both above and below. I had to do both. 😬

📍 Vettisfossen, Utladalen, Øvre Årdal

My own day ended up being almost 20 km, 6 hours and 1,106 m elevation because I went up to see the waterfall from above, then back down to see it from below… obviously one view wasn’t enough for me 😅

And I definitely hope to go back some day!!

Save this one for your Norway list.

Would you want to see it from above, below or both?

Long hike or short walk, everything counts. Sunsets, sunrises, forests, mountains, … anything outdoors in nature has this effect on my brain!!
