Ten days out of the big city, concrete and traffic was just the thing I needed. We took our camera and headed to the mountains for a much needed break. No Internet, no cell phones, only a nice weather and a long walks in nature. Bliss!
With an occasional visit to the historic sites and spas. 🙂
Having fun with the new camera lenses, photographing gorgeous creatures and flowers:
Jumping into the water 🙂
Rolling in the grass:
Beautiful Nature, calming and healing:
It’s all about balance. Going to the mountains helps me feel relaxed and refreshed, and then I can go back to the city, work and other everyday things. But it always feels good to come back home. 🙂

Never been to any place like these. But I have heard, and I have seen people running to the woods…away from the… ‘cities filled with the foolish’ ( quoting Walt Whitman ofcourse ). Do not know how it feels exactly. My school, a boarding school actually, was by the side of a dam and there were mountains. Was too young to relish it then 😦
Super fine pictures ! My favourite is the one with Breda jumping in water 🙂
Well, some people like to be near water, some by the sea, some actually love the city. But for me there is nothing like the mountains. Although I like to be in “civilization” 🙂 sometimes it gets all too much and I need to go somewhere where no city sounds can be found. To be woken up in the morning just by the bird song and not by the cars is amazing! 🙂
Gorgeous photos, Sonja! chris
Thank you Chris! 🙂
Those pictures are marvelous, both the subjects and the quality! The landscape looks very much like around my home, too 🙂
Oohhh you are so lucky to live in such beautiful place! All I see from my window is buildings. 🙂
Am glad you’re feeling better. Nature is always a great healer.
Thank you Terri! 🙂
It does look so refreshing and relaxing. I really need to do something like that right now too. But alas, it isn’t in the cards to be able to schedule it now.
Deb imagine us getting together in a place like this and having fun with paints and pens! 🙂 That would be great!
it would be awesome
I am so pleased you are feeling refreshed,I am not surprised the scenery is wonderful.Perhaps Meda could teach Wilson how to jump into water ,something he has never done.
