Sharks in Crystal Waters: A Photographer’s Dream in the Bahamas

 There are some places that feel unreal the moment you arrive—and the Bahamas is one of them.

During my latest trip to Exuma and Nassau, I found myself chasing that perfect moment between light, water, and stillness. No f
cenic view of Atlantis Resort and the ocean in Nassau, Bahamas, with pools, palm trees, and the turquoise sea stretching to the horizon.

ilters, no edits. Just nature at its best.

At one pier in Exuma, I stood in silence watching a school of nurse sharks glide beneath the surface. The water was so clear I didn’t need to snorkel or dive—they were right there, shadows swimming in the sun. If you're into marine photography, bring your waterproof camera backpack, because this spot is pure magic for your lens.
Further north in Nassau, the views changed but stayed breathtaking. Resorts lined with palm trees and turquoise lagoons gave the trip a slower rhythm. While Exuma felt raw and cinematic, Nassau offered space to reset, journal, and walk along the soft shoreline without aim.

Every day, I found myself reaching for my camera not out of urgency, but out of gratitude. There was always something worth remembering—be it a passing ray of sunlight, or a lone white boat bobbing in the bay.
If you’re looking for a warm-weather escape where your memories stay as vivid as your photos, the Bahamas is waiting—gentle, wild, and impossibly blue.

A Scenic Hike from Loch Lomond to Helensburgh with Just a Travel Waterproof Backpack

图片
If you’re near Glasgow and craving a quick escape, this one’s for you.  The trail from Balloch to Helensburgh is around 12km, mostly easy walking—but the scenery feels much bigger than that. One side is Loch Lomond. The other, the Clyde coast. And if you go in winter, you just might spot Ben Lomond covered in snow. 📍 Getting There 🚆 Take the train from Glasgow Queen Street to Balloch Station (50 mins)  🚶 Walk 10 minutes to the trailhead at Old Luss Rd & Lower Stoneymollan Rd (search “Bos Steel” on Google Maps)  📱 Search for “Helensburgh to Balloch” on AllTrails for a map  🏁 End the hike in Helensburgh Central or Craigendoran, then take the train or bus back 🎒 What I Packed There are no shops, toilets, or shelters along the way, so I brought my usual: - A travel waterproof backpack - Windbreaker - Water + snack - Tissues, sunglasses, and my AllTrails screenshot It was just enough—and it kept everything dry when clouds rolled in. 🏞️ Why This Hike Stays With ...

The Hike That Changed My Mind About Tenerife (And Myself)

图片
I used to think Tenerife was all about beaches and seafood. But then I found myself hiking across volcanic rock under a sky full of stars, gasping for breath and awe at the same time. I wasn’t here for a challenge—but I got one. And it stayed with me longer than any sunset. The Trail: Roques de García It starts from Mirador de la Ruleta, a viewpoint facing the towering Las Cañadas crater. The loop is only 4.2 km, but don’t be fooled—altitude (2183 m) and dry air make it feel longer. You walk on lava fields, between sculptural rocks, with the silhouette of Mount Teide in the distance. It’s one of the few trails open even in winter. Why I Hiked at Night Locals told me the sunrise was worth the cold, so I started at 1:30 AM. It was pitch black, freezing, and silent except for the sound of my steps. I could see constellations, the Milky Way, even a few meteors. I was exhausted—but awake in a way I hadn’t felt in a long time. The Climb to Teide From 2200 m to 3718 m, the full summit hike is...

🧳 What’s in My Everyday Bag: The Expandable Edition

图片
I don’t have a fixed desk. Some days I’m at a café, sometimes a friend’s apartment, or like today—a sunny corner of the local library with decent Wi-Fi. My routine moves with me, and often, so do my plans: a few hours of laptop work, a cycle through the park, and a detour to catch up with someone. On ride days, I tuck my helmet into the expandable front pocket of my backpack. It fits snugly, doesn’t shift, and stays out of the way until I need it again. When your workspace is mobile, your gear needs to be too. But your bag? Ideally, that stays the same. Everyday rhythm: flexible, light, real This photo sums it up. Urban errands, café stops, library corners. I don’t plan around my bag—it adapts around me. What’s inside, usually? - 13" MacBook Pro (3 years strong, still running smooth) - iPhone 14 (used for nearly every photo I take) - iPad Pro (for sketches, notes, and PDFs) - Kindle Oasis (helps me wind down) - Beats Fit Pro (never leaves my ears) - Power bank (because I live on d...
