The textile designer presents her latest collaboration to celebrate the brand’s 60th anniversary

Everything comes to an end. After 17 days in the tropical Ecuadorian Andes, going from 300 meters to 4200 meters above sea level (660 to 13,800 feet), I am sitting in a gazebo in the middle of the Czech forest and writing these lines. Thousands of photos of birds and breathtaking landscapes of the páramo and cloud forest are safely on my computer. I’m going to share many of them with you in various articles, but for now I’ll just start at the back, with the last photo I took before leaving for the airport. With this picture of the Shining Sunbeam, I offer another overview of last week’s news in the photography world.

This week marks the winter solstice in Australia, and the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere. As this marker of the changing seasons passes us yet again, we reflect on the meaning of light…it really is different down here. The wonder of first light as dawn breaks on every new day. The romance of last light and lingering sunsets. The rising of the moon in all her glory. The deep blackness of the night sky sprinkled with the light of a million stars.

Steps away from the white sand beach and overlooking the azure blue waters of the Gulf of Thailand, CoCoRum at Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui is an idyllic oasis of relaxation and a true reflection of the island life.
