"Still dreaming about the morning we got golden light and fog as a present in the Dolomites. One of the best things to get, if you ask me. This whole valley did feel surreal and felt pretty much like a movie set.

Even though this was such a mesmerising blue hour and sunrise, it lasted for only a few moments... The light turned harsh before we knew it, blinding us but also defrosting our little frozen bodies. It's always those little time frames that make the experiences precious. Crazy how such short moments that slipped through your fingers once, are now big moments to look back on."
