Yesterday in one of my posts @galenkp gave me a hint to the contest he his running at the moment, a contest about scenic places made by an outdoorsman for outdoor loving people. Participating in that contest is a no brainer for me as I have plenty of phots from scenic places from around the world.
He ends his post about the contest with the words:
Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default; tomorrow isn't promised so be humble and kind - galenkp
That´s exactly why I´m living my life like I do today. It took me and my partner many years to finally live our life like we want to. One reason always was to be able to be outside in nature as much as possible. Here we are, following you will see a selection of places we´ve been to in the past years. Although we´ve spent most of our time in Australia there are other amazing places we´ve been to...
...like Turkey for example.
The Bafa Gölü or Bafa lake is an inland lake on the west coast of Turkey, formed from a former sea arm, the Latmi Gulf and it is absolutely beautiful there.
Or even better the absolute stunning Peninsula of Datca in the south of turkey. I´ve been to turkey before as my girlfriend has turkish roots but never seen such a beautiful place there.
If we´re already near europe lets jump to a place I have visited during covid. Covid forced us to leave australia in 2020 so we went back home to germany. Our hometown got boring after a few weeks so we decided to do a little trip into the Allgäu. I´ve been here before but in winter for snowboarding. In my opinion (I´m no more a winter person) it looks much nicer in summer. :)
Anyway, my all time favourite country when it comes to outdoor activities, scenic views as well as wildlife is and will most likely always be the land down under AUSTRALIA!
I got so many memories, photos and beautiful moments from this great country that I could write a book about it. As I´m not an author lets keep it simple with some breathtaking photos from here.
This is only a little selection of photos on my laptop but it got much more on several hard drives. Hopefully that isn´t the first and only contest :)

Amazing sunset on the Noosa River
Just last year we had the chance to visit a whole new continent and a country that I always wanted to see since we started our journey 10 years ago. South Africa was always on my bucket list but it took me some years to convince my girlfriend to go there. We both immediately fell in love with the country and the people here and we will definitely come back one day.
Game Drive in the Addo Elephantpark
Outeniqua Pass
Lookout from Pearl Rock onto a Mountain Range
Rockpool at Camps Bay, Cape Town
Can´t remember but simply beautiful
I hope you enjoyed these photos and can understand why I love to spend so much time outdoor in the nature. If not, scroll up and look at them again. ;)
Still got plenty of amazing views on my hard drive so I´m hoping for a continuation of this contest.
