I originally borrowed @noel.swails (on Instagram) lens to photograph the northern lights but they didn’t show up again so I ended up using it for the Alps instead.

I’m a complete beginner when it comes to landscape photography so I wasn’t expecting much. But looking at the photos now, I’m honestly surprised by how well they turned out. There was something incredibly refreshing about carrying almost no weight and still being able to capture moments that felt special. The snow made everything look softer, brighter, and more peaceful.

It felt good to step out of my comfort zone and try something new especially since I haven’t been in the mood to post animals lately. So here’s a little change of scenery.
I’m happy I took the chance, happy I tried and even happier that these images let me share a bit of that quiet winter magic with y‘all💜❄️
