What a year it has been! Never before have we received so many disappointing news concerning our lovely passion. Almost all events cancelled, long distance flights to foreign countries: impossible. The freedom to roam the world at will, which we enjoy so much: shattered.<\/p>\n

But we have also learnt: It doesn’t have to be fast action all the time. There’s more to life than just ‘what can you get’, it’s not ‘gimme gimme gimme’… sometimes it’s just nice to take a little step back. There can be beauty in that.
\nAnd it can be helpful indeed to take a slower pace, not just to rush from highlight to highlight, which is all too tempting under normal circumstances. Where have we come from… where are we going to? How do we want to spend our time here? What is important… what is not?
\nQuestions like these come naturally once you step off the fast train, and it is more than enlightening to find your answers.<\/p>\n

We are proud indeed that our calendar for 2021 features photos from this year exclusively, proving that even with limited freedom, it is still possible to experience beauty. I would even go a bit further and say: Luck is not something you find. Luck is something you create yourself, by the way you choose to live.<\/p>\n

So may you all choose the lucky way for your new year!<\/p>\n
