Sunset from top of the Arc de Triomphe! Top tip - wait around past sunset for when the Eiffel Tower sparkles on the hour every hour 😍✨ (Swipe to see) Another snap from my Paris adventure, May 2024 ☀️🇫🇷 Throwback to May last year. Getting up at 5am for this Parisian sunrise was such an arse-ache but worth it 😍 🇫🇷 More surreal looking nature from Iceland 🇮🇸 The deep fog all that day added to the mystical feel! Iceland has so many crazy varied landscapes and natural phenomenons for a country of its size. Definitely a photographer’s playground. The weather had been pretty bad my first four days in Iceland so it was such an unexpected treat to watch this gorgeous sunrise over the most southern point of the country 😍 Ever hiked a glacier?! I have! A definite 2024 highlight for me! ❄️🇮🇸 Iceland’s other-worldly landscapes were incredible. I’d love to go back in the summer one year too! Have you been to Iceland? Drop any recommendations in the comments 👇
