Slow days in the mountains
All true the winter I had been missing spending time alone with my camera. So getting the opportunity to spend not just a couple of days, but more than a week…
Easter is usually packed full with traditions for us. 99% of the years since my wife and I met we’ve spent Easter with my family in Sunnmøre. It’s skiing, outdoor adventures, board games, easter eggs, quiz and a lot of amazing food. And then some.
