All the years tracked by photographs in albums
Takes us back to the day we fell in love.
A photograph of a conversation.

We watched the sun as it came up this morning
And had a dream of growing old
And we'll have love as our way.
And we could talk about the world
Oh, we could sing about the rain
And we could laugh until we cry.
Oh, we'll be in love.
And love would be our way.
Oh, and we'll see it everyday
And when we laugh and when we cry
Oh, love will always be our way.
Love will be our way.

All the years marked by photographs in albums
Take us back to the day we fell in love
A photograph of a conversation.

We watched the sun as it came up this morning
And had a dream of growing old
And we'll have love as our way.
And we could talk about the world
Oh, we could sing of the rain
And we could laugh until we cry
Oh, we'll be in love.
And love would be our way
Oh, and we'll see it everyday.
And when we laugh and when we cry
Oh, love will be our way.

A photographs a story
That we'll tell them
Love will be our story
You know love will be our way




You know love could be our way
Yeah, love will be our way.

OMG what a masterpiece of a video!!!! So so much in it! Loved your adventures Mads!
About the pictures i’m absolutely astonished by 2 and 3! Both Superb!
But considering the conditions in which you took the #2... well, it deserves the gold medal!

This video is pure gold from start to end! What a trip you had!

P.s. very weird to hear an oriental music while looking at british landscapes 😅
But this gave me the idea that you three, absolutely MUST have a trip together to Japan.
Or some other SEA country... you will be mindblown and it would be so much fun for all of us to see you kinda out of your comfort zone in a totally foreign region.

Hi guys, as you very well can imagine, I spend a ton of work and resources making this video. I hope you'll enjoy it very much. All I'll ask for is a like (if you like it) and a comment, which all helps to spread the video to even more people interested in landscape photography 🙏 - also remember if you want to learn even more use the links in the description ☺️👍

Mads, I can’t seem to individually comment, so I’ll comment as a reply to you. These are some of the most beautiful images I’ve seen. What an incredible trip you had, with breathtaking scenery, and perfect editing and comps. Kudos!

Michael Colburn

Absolutely EPIC video, Mads!!!
My favorite feature, aside from the best photos I’ve seen in a long while, is the beautiful camaraderie you share with your companions throughout. I have been following all of you for awhile and am always inspired by your work. With you and Nigel leading the pack of my most looked up to landscape photographers, I have purchased courses from both of you considering that to be money so well spent (even though I have yet to watch through them completely due to the busy-ness of my life) and I always feel like I’m in good hands receiving tutelage from you both. Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge and experience through these videos, but mostly for being exuberant while sharing your love of the craft!

Normally I do not use such extreme phrases, but this video is absolutely amazing!

On the one hand there are these perfect conditions and on the other hand I love your reactions to it.
It is really heartwarming seeing some adult men being blown away by the beauty of nature.

Nothing more to say 😊

Matt Singrey

My favorite thing about ALL of your vlogs is your unabashed enthusiasm for each location and conditions. Your images are always extraordinary and perfectly processed. Thanks as always, for the inspirational vlog, Mads.
