The secret nature of Colombia

by Lisa SihlbergLeave a Comment on The secret nature of Colombia

A while ago I found myself once again in Colombia. This amazing country that offers so diverse culture, where the lifestyle is an endless fiesta although times can be scarce.

  • M I N I M A L I S M ✨ During my many expeditions I realized more and more how little I actually need while living out of a backpack. During the last two years I have reduced the amount of stuff I own by 70% and with that I also reduced a lot of stress and unhealthy attachments. By living with less I don’t need to clean as much, I don’t need to worry if stuff break or get stolen. I use the things I kept more and I definitely don’t feel the urge to buy more stuff. A minimalist lifestyle has taught me to appreciate the things I have and has become an eye opener for how much consumerism is destroying our Planet. We can live with much less and in the same time keep our planet more healthy. 🌎💪 Have you tried minimalism?
  • A Spider usually has eight legs, how many does this one have? 🤔🕷 Throw back to one of my expeditions in western Borneo. If I miss documenting amazing nature? - Ooooh yes! Tamron 90 f/2.8 Macro
  • Colors 🌈 How lucky are we to be surrounded by such beautiful colors created by nature 🥰 Tamron 70-200 f/2.8
  • Do like the Pig-tailed macaque, always show yourself from your best side! 😁 If always showing kindness to the ones around you, you will get kindness back, that's just how it works 😌 So now, let's try this on our planet! We are soon drowning in the waste of our own consumption and recycling is NOT the sollution. Fact is that only 9% of most plastics get recycled 😳 So: 👉Reuse instead of buying new. 👉Reduce what you dont need. 👉Recycle ONLY as your LAST option, better to not buy in the first place.

  • Did you know that the The green iguana can become up 2 meters long and weigh up to 10 (!) kg? Well, now you know 😎 Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 G2
  • LIFE IS FULL OF POSSIBILITIES, IF YOUR HEART IS OPEN TO SEE THEM ✨ I have always been sure that nature has been my passion and top priority. Since a little girl I wanted to help our Planet, but didn't know how. Then life happened! I have been taught that I can be whatever I want to be, which has led to that I have jumped onto adventures that have taken me towards the direction of my passion and the goals in my life. It has not always been easy, and bad things has happened along the way. But life really is a journey. And my journey, happy, rough, hard and exciting has made me the person I am today. One who knows that life will lead me in the right direction and take me closer to my goal to help the Planet, as long as I trust it and keep my heart open! What is your passion, do you live your dream?
  • You can find this stunning Cocoi heron in south america, below the Andes. I just love to shoot white / bright colored animals with a dark or dark green backdrop. When shooting in the dark rainforest you have to use all the lights you can get and if you, like me, don’t want to use a flash, you gotta be creative. Here are some tips 📷 🌱 Find a tiny string of light and be patient to try and find something to shoot there 🌱 Capture light colored animals in front of a dark backdrop 🌱 Instead of flash, use a flashlight with soft light (you don’t want to scare your model) You got more tips, share them! 😃 Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 G2
  • This tiny Tarsier is not only an amazing creature and a vital part of our nature, but its also making me smile every time I meet it 💚 I hope its cuteness can put a smile on your face too and make you think about how important each and every little creature is to this planet 🙏 Tamron 90 f/2.8
