Ethiopia is one of the very few countries in Africa that never got successfully colonized. That makes for a very special and inherently original African culture, and mixed with the country’s wild topography (most of the country is above 2000+ meters in altitude!), beautiful people and varied landscapes, you get an incredibly photogenic place where every corner hides new secrets and awesome views. Here are a few of the best shots.
Coffee is originally from Ethiopia where it grows wild in the lush forests. This is from a coffee farm near Guji in the south.
Fairly common way to live 🏠
Banana, avocado and mango 😋😋😋

No 4WD? No problem 💪
Our 6 day trek from Dodola to Adaba in the Bale Mountains started here.
Hosts at 3400 meters above sea level.
Harar: maze-like streets, colored houses and hyenas…
Feeding time 🐶

Ethiopia is filled with endlessly varied landscapes.

If you don’t own a mirror, it’s funny to see your own expressions on the camera 😅

On the last morning of our trek we got met by this view 😇
Many children walk several kilometers to get to school.

October is a beautiful month in Denmark. These are shots from around Copenhagen and Sjælland.
When I took this picture by the lakes in Copenhagen, a lady approached me and asked if I was allowed to take photos of a public space like that. I answered that yes, indeed I am. “Well!”, she said, “at least I don’t want to be a part of it!” And she isn’t, so that settled the case.

A quick trip to Bergamo, Milano and Lake Como.
Idyllic Varenna at sunset.
I love it when I get the window seat.
View from the top of Bergamo over one of its valleys.
Very early morning at Como.
The old town in Bergamo, built in the 16th century.
An angry cat in a gelato shop.
Approximately 3 out of every 4 Italians believe that there is a god. I think that she is one of them.
Airplane viewz, this time overlooking Switzerland.
Menaggio with a camera in one hand and an ice cream in the other.
The dome in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, named after the first Italian king.
On the top of Il Duomo.
Sunset hunting in Bergamo.

The mountains and cities around Lake Como change moods constantly with the sun rising and setting.
Same spot as the last picture.
Milan tourist spot #1

Visiting Japan was an old dream come true. Never before have I visited a country where silence lives so close to noise. It truly feels special when the platform is empty for a second between trains or you take a turn from the main street to find yourself alone – perhaps because those moments are so fleeting; and you know that the tranquility will be replaced by noise in a second. It’s this contrast – and cycle – that I have tried to capture in the following images.
Sensō-ji, Tokyo’s oldest temple.
It’s difficult to stand still in Tokyo; a city with more than 13 million inhabitants.
A torii outside Meiji jingū. A torii is a portal which among other things keep bad spirits out.
Tokyo Tower lights up the cityscape at night.
Endless numbers of torii’s just outside Kyoto.
Fuji-San.
Rain in Shibuya.
Bamboo in Kyoto.
People get in line for the trains – which sometimes get filled to the brim.
Futuristic view.
Trees at the foot of Fuji.
You can always hear the best ramen-shops from miles away, as the tradition calls for slurping the noodles loudly to maximize flavour and show your enjoyment.
Here is one of more than 1000 temples in Kyoto.
A very early morning in the Tokyo district of Asakusa.
Later in the day in the tech hotspot of Akihabara.
Many women seem to like to put on kimono’s, visit attractions and take loads of selfies.
Suddenly a long drop!
Future like tunnel at Miho museum.
Landscape in Kyoto.
Tokyo at dusk.

I visited my grandparents in Södertälje, Sweden, during the last weekend. Like usual, I took some photos underway.
Proud grandchild!

Panama fulfilled all our dreams as the final destination of our adventures in Central America. We visited the magnificent coffee landscapes of Boquete, the paramount metropolis Panama City, filled with contrast between slum and skyscrapers and ended the Latin American leg of our journey on the blissful San Blas Islands. We didn’t get to see all of Costa Rica, but both the capital San José and the surfing town of Puerto Viejo had a lot to offer.
The San Blas Islands of Panama = paradise.
The 365 islands are home to the Kuna Indians, whose lifestyle is still very close to pre-colonial times.
There’s not much else to do than to simply enjoy life.
The islands vary a lot in size.
As most indigenous people, the Kunas are unfortunately not resistant to Western temptations.
But there is still a long way to resorts and internet connections.
Boquete, Panama.
