Some shots from a weekend spent up at Jayson & Jady’s beach shack on the Sunny Coast. Amazing food, company & time surfing the point at Moffat’s, thanks guys for the hospitality we’ll be up again real soon for a paddle.

As we welcome in the new year, I’d like to share with you an image and a quote to kick start you into 2012!

Photographed on Stradbroke Island, 30th December 2011.

While we prepare for a Christmas spent lazing on the beach, surfing, BBQs & basking in the sweltering Australian heat, I can’t help but think of my friends & family back in Switzerland rugged up in front of the fire with a hot chocolate held tightly in both hands. It is beautiful way to spend Christmas and as much as I enjoy the sun & surf I can honestly say I miss spending my Christmas in these conditions.

The following two photos I shot back in Switzerland on my last return, the first on the far western {French} side of the country, the second on the far eastern {German} side, both in the respective villages of my wife’s grandparents.

On that note I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noël & Fröhlichi Wiehnacht have a safe & happy break and all the best for the coming New Year!
