How good are the Blue Mountains, even when have the tracks are closed due to landslides. Very scenic walk down and back up the Valley of the Waters today #bluemountains #hiking #valleyofthewaters #waterfalls

From crazy snowfall in the morning to a beautiful (almost) bluebird day in the afternoon. As they did not open the gate to the summit, we had to look at the slope we went down in knee deep powder yesterday. Dropping down to the right on picture 4 was the joyride #powder #skiing #japan #niseko #JaPOW

Best day by a mile with backcountry skiing on the menu. The 15 minute hike to the top was so worth it (and covered the cardio workout for the day) #backcountry #skiing #japan #niseko #powderskiing #powder #japow

There is not enough room for all the cool Tokyo pictures from the first day of our stopover on the way to the snow. This has to be one of the most interesting cultures. The standout for me: teamLab Borderless #tokyo #teamlabsborderless #meijijingu #shibuya

Best entertainment program for our dog (and the family), beating the TV as entertainment. Little brushturkey left the nest in the neighbour’s garden and settled in our backyard for the last couple of days #brushturkey #backyard #wildlife

Pretty empty in the bay when there is a shark alarm earlier in the day. Someone must have told the fish as well. Not a lot happening, other than your standard Port Jacksons and Giant Cuttlefish #marinelife #photography #snorkeling #diving #portjacksonshark #giantcuttlefish #cuttlefish

Adding some pictures to the earlier video. Visibility was a little murky, but with the water warming up, you can actually stay in for quite a while #cabbagetreereserve #freediving #snorkeling #manly #eagleray #portjacksonshark #giantcuttlefish #photography #underwaterphotography

Back at Cabbage Tree Reserve after a couple of weeks. Spring is coming. The water is getting warmer and the fish around are changing. #cabbagetreereserve #freediving #snorkeling #manly #eagleray #portjacksonshark #giantcuttlefish #photography #underwaterphotography
