You are the talent of your creations

Any creation made by an individual is only possible when there is: Passion and commitment to CREATE.
The passion and commitment of an individual to pursue their interests and dreams is the talent of a creation, not the technology.
Without the desire to take a photograph and the persistance to keep taking photographs... there would be no photographs.

The photographer could have hiked around Alaska for 3 weeks in order to get that one perfect photo or that wife may have slaved away in the kitchen for 8 hours to produce that one small meal. 
No matter what the creation, there is always some level of passion and commitment needed in order to create it.

TSO Photography...


Mr TSO is a landscape photographer and film maker from Norway. He inspires me to pursue my interest in photography and travelling

Your happiness grows through the happiness of those around you


There's a place...

Sometimes you end up travelling to places where you had never thought to go, and somehow, you find everything you were ever searching for.

The moment of serenity and happiness....the moment when you truly know that this is how your life should be.

Behind all of the buildings and the chaos of today's modern world, there lies a place untouched. There lies a place where we can just be.
There lies a place that's worth looking for....

Bob Marley: 6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981

"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."

Advanced Canyoning In Switzerland




If you are a "Thrill Seeker" I highly recommend Canyoning. We went canyoning in Interlaken, Switzerland, with a company called 'Outdoor Interlaken'. We went on the 'Chli Schliere' Trip which is named 'the best of the best' and takes canyoning to the ultimate level. This trip's duration was 8 hours and consisted of high rappels, big jumps, cold water and fast flowing narrow rock slides. 
Chli Schliere was physically demanding and some jumps were extremely confronting. Despite being both mentally and physically challenging the trip definitely had a high fun & high thrill factor.
The Chli Schliere expedition is suitable for confident and athletic people who like a bit of a challenge. 
If you go canyoning don't forget to get photos!!! It is truly a life changing experience :)

The cost is approximately Fr 170.10 per person if you go as a group (recommended)
