This festive season, Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island invites guests to immerse themselves in a tropical celebration inspired by the timeless magic of The Nutcracker. From sparkling Christmas lights to sun-soaked beach lunches and vibrant New Year’s Eve festivities, the island transforms into a paradise of holiday cheer.

Families are in for a treat as Kids For All Seasons brings a full schedule of engaging activities for children. From Christmas DIY crafts, sandman building, and gingerbread house decorating to obstacle courses, beach games, and even a visit from Santa’s elves, young guests can enjoy a week of festive fun in a safe and imaginative environment.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt so nervous rock climbing as I did this week. The reason wasn’t really the thirty meters of air below my feet as I hung on the rope, photographing climbers beneath me. The shiver running down my spine had more to do with the camera I was shooting with and the fact that I was responsible for it “with my life.” I have to admit, I breathed a big sigh of relief when I finally rappelled back to the ground with the Leica SL3 still safely in my hands. You’ll soon be able to read my full thoughts on shooting with this unusual camera. For now, let me share one photo from yesterday’s climb—and of course, the latest news from the world of photography.
