Happy New Year! May 2022 bring good health, joy and peace to you and your families.

With rising COVID-19/Omicron cases in recent weeks, many regions are restricting travel, and implementing local gathering and business operational restrictions once again. Let's hope these measures will help us overcome this pandemic wave soon.

For this first post of the year, I went back into my collection of photos for inspiration. I'm sure that many of you, like myself, are dreaming of taking to the air once again and travelling to amazing destinations around the world. Despite the long lineups and sometimes troublesome process to get through customs at the airport, it's a wonderful feeling to be walking on the people mover with carry-on luggage, heading to the departure gates to board the plane (as long as you're not running late and scrambling to find the gate location!).

I often choose a window seat so that once in the air, I can look down and enjoy the aerial view of various landscape scenes. Whether they are snow-capped mountains, checkered farmlands, or the expansive ocean, I enjoy seeing the range of patterns they form and capturing the sights of this globe we call home.

I overlaid the two photos above into this image below to combine these feelings - the anticipation while heading towards the airplane and the excitement while in the air. I'm longing to experience these feelings and bringing travel photography to share with you once again! 

May this be the year that we can resume travelling safely. Which travel destination are you dreaming of?

Stay well and best wishes for the New Year!
