Calm before the storm
A sherpa eats a breakfast of noodle soup in the village of Taktor, Eastern Nepal.
We love the contrast of quiet calm and stormy chaos in this photo. Steam rising from the noodles, the resting hands of the unidentified man closest to camera and the glow of the lamp all give a feeling of warmth and safety, but then you consider the man’s eyes, alert and wary, we imagine ahead of a long and arduous journey up a mountain in difficult conditions. Calm before the storm sort of stuff. Incredible shot.

I sit in get lost’s city office with the sound of traffic whizzing by and space at a premium, the memory of my face being buried in a man’s armpit on the packed tram this morning still very fresh. Krista May’s shot of an intrepid camper on the Lake Alta Track in New Zealand, staring The Remarkables mountain range right in the eye, captures exactly where we’d rather be – getting absolutely fucking lost.

The rawness of the Faroe Islands is plain for all to see in Peter Coleman’s epic shot of a hiker taking in the scene at the Kallur Lighthouse on Kalsoy Island. Kalsoy was a filming location in James Bond’s No Time to Die and the lighthouse is an epic day trip from the town of Mikladalur.

There’s something about Dmytro Prytchenko’s mysterious shot of a country house in Wisla, Poland which captured our attention, and left us wanting to know more.
