The historic financial district in the city center of London is a photography heaven for architecture lovers like myself. This collection of modern and stylish skyscrapers, in combination with the smaller historic buildings, is a unique sight. All these photos are taken with the Sony A7III and the 16-35 F4 Power Zoom, my favorite travel…
London is one of the largest capital cities in Europe and right on top of my to-see list. From the Netherlands the flight takes less than an hour to arrive at London City Airport. The starting point of a 3 day full on London experience. Arriving in London London City Airport is the closest airport…
Canary Wharf: a place of suits during the day. It’s the second largest financial district in London. But next to all these office buildings it also has a very modern and trendy atmosphere. It actually reminded me a lot of the Zuidas in Amsterdam. One Saturday evening, after a hot and sunny day, we witnessed…
The Netherlands is full of beautiful places! My Mom and I used our birthday weekend to explore Ameland, one of the Northern Dutch islands.

I thought it would be fun to get a good selection of some of the visited places, or at least try to get most of them. They’re actually quite the highlight, as I usually wasn’t the only…
What to do on your last relaxation days in Mexico? Spend it in the popular Playa del Carmen! After our beautiful but hectic travels in Chiapas and Yucatan, it was time to wind down with some sun, sea and beaches. The booked hotel was close to the bustling 5th Avenida street, where we could enjoy…
