Final sunset of the year

Last sunset of 2024
Final Sunset of the Year | Lungau | 2024

This is it – we’re (almost) done with 2024. The final sunset of the year has happened, and I captured it. I’m soooo ready to turn the last page and close the book on the old year. And this picture is my epitaph for 2024. Too many people we know have passed away. Too many people we know have fallen seriously ill. The corporate rat race has exceeded any previously known limits and has drained us more than ever before. And I wouldn’t say the world at the end of 2024 is a better place than at the start of the year. While also many positive things happened to us and we for sure realize that we are much privileged in many aspects (and we are totally grateful for all of that), The Significant Other and I won’t shed much tears for the old year.

We will spend the evening celebrating friendship over a relaxed dinner and with some good drinks. And then we will welcome 2025. May it be a better year for all of us! And let’s all do whatever we can to make 2025 a truly better year. For all of us!

Happy New Year

Good things come to those who dare – like on this magic afternoon in the mountains. The Significant Other and I decided to do a late afternoon hike up the Riedingtal, a valley in the Austrian Alps, despite the overcast and showery weather. And yes, while almost up on the valley floor, it started pouring, and we barely escaped into a serviced alpine hut for some cake and coffee. And then the magic happened….
