Finally It looks like we are back to a normal work environment after Covid. Having face-to-face meetings with people again is so much more productive and fun. You get things done in a day that can take weeks over e-mails and conference calls. I also work with an excellent bunch of people that are committed to their work and have a good sense of humor, in a way that only engineers have.

For a photographer, a change of scenery and new places to visit really gets the shutter-pressing juices flowing. Being around people that I don’t meet every day also gives me the opportunity to sneak in some portraits, which I enjoy a lot.

For the trip I brought my Fujifilm XE4 and set of prime lenses (XF16F1.4, XF23F1.4, XF35F2.0, XF50F2.0 and XF80F2.8). Let’s just say that I changed lenses a few times!

First stop was Århus for some project meetings. I like Århus and half-lived there for 2-3 years to support the acquisition of a company. It’s not a large city and but it has everything and is very easy to be in, which is kind of Denmark in a nutshell.

The week after I had meetings in the Netherlands so instead of going back to Iceland. I flew over there on a Friday and stayed in Groningen for the weekend. I’ve never been to Groningen before as it’s way up in Friesland, but I can confirm that it lives up to its reputation as a lively city full of young people. I also drove up to the Friesland coast, which is an interesting place with wide open skies and mud flats that extend into the distance.

I then spent a couple of nights in Enschede before going to familiar Nijmegen, which is near to our main office in the Netherlands.
