View over Kraków on a fresh January day
I have been taking photos ever since my uncle and aunt inspired me to buy my first DSL at the age of 16. I was born in Holland, moved to the eastern part of the Netherlands, immigrated to Sweden. Here I wrote a travel guide book as thick as a brick about my new home country, was a news and radio correspondent and was a teacher in Swedish schools. 15 years after settling in the land of the Vikings, I popped over to the southern side of the Baltic Sea, and found my third home in Kraków, Poland. The third time's the charm.
While I will keep on posting new photos and stories from my July journey through Iceland, the first autumn story of Poland is now live: from the special rural region of Spisz, on the border with Slovakia. I have also added Thingvellir National Park, some other landmarks and aerial photography to my Southern Lands of Iceland stories.

Western Suðurland | Iceland
4, 5, 7 October 2025: Thingvellir National Park, greenhouses in Iceland, the Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir, and aerial photos added•The western part of the Southern Lands of Iceland has some of the most fairytale waterfalls imaginable—sometimes hidden behind cliff walls, or with a cave behind. It really feels like stepping into a wonderland.
Spisz | Poland
29 September 2025 • The Spiš region stretches deep into Slovakia, but has a section that has been Polish since 1920: Spisz. This rural area of 14 villages was once part of the Kingdom of Hungary. Here one has great views of the Tatra Mountains but not being in them. And there is a big chance for running into herds of sheep. A story from the Polish-Slovakian border.
Central Suðurland | Iceland
NEW PHOTOS & expanded story 18 September 2025• Experiencing the central parts of Suðurland is like continuing a journey from film set to film set - whether one reaches the central southern lands from the east or west. Here one can also find the majestic southernmost point of the country.
