You see me

But I don't see you. It has been a while now that I have been shooting pictures for partly my but also your pleasure. Yes you! My friends at home back in Belgium, my new friends in Australia, my new friends in Thailand, my future friends in New Zealand or wherever you are in the world.
I have travelled a fair bit the passed months and with New Zealand this one year trip kind of comes to an end. (Except for a side trip to Singapore and Malaysia on my way back home). It's been good so far and New Zealand is going to be the cherry on the cake as I expected it to be.
I love the outdoors as you can tell from the pictures. The outdoors, the bush, the backcountry, or whatever it's called in your country, is meant to be tramped, hiked and climbed. I love photography and still keep the big heavy digital SLR in my backpack together with the way to heavy laptop that I need to post process the pictures that come out of the camera. I cursed it a few times, those extra 5 kilo's on my back, while stumbling towards the last steep bit to the summit. But I guess it worth it to have a descent picture in the end.
The thing I'm getting to is I'm wondering how many people are actually viewing this blog. Just to sooth my soar legs and mind if I'm having a rough time again on a mountain.

So... If you are reading this, regardless if your a friend from home, a friend from travels, or maybe one of my many friendly, helpful and charming rides. Just drop a line in the comments for a quick hello! Love to hear from you!
