‘Heaven on Earth’ is a term many travellers use to describe a place they love. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to touch the clouds or walk amongst them?
You might be thinking that it could only be possible in fairy tales, but a place like this truly exists. If you ever have a great desire to really walk or touch the clouds, you might as well consider paying a visit to San Marino.

Snowdonia.
After a 5 am start on Saturday morning, I was hoping for sunrise, but the forecast was for fog.
I decided to try something different, using the fog to create atmosphere and tranquility from this scenic spot.
We made a short trip through a small wooded area, then to our delight the landscape opened up and we were stunned by this landscape before us.
At 7 am it was truly magnificent.

Hoarfrost in Anchorage.
Hoarfrost
The hoarfrost this past winter in Anchorage was epic!
I took that afternoon off and drove around town looking for the light.
We had almost three weeks of this great effect.
I had been working everyday until I couldn’t take it anymore and left my office and this is the result.
