*Almost everybody would agree that the passing year 2020 was a special one. For me it meant switching from travel-intensive work (155 flights last year!) to home office. It also meant more hiking in my home country than travelling abroad. Let me share my impressions of the **Year 2020 in 12 Photos** - January for a starter.* # Photo of the month Before the Covid era started, I had had an opportunity to visit Australia. Two weeks of work in Melbourne and a weekend for me to enjoy. I did take the most out it. My photo of the month is **12 Apostles** - a scenic group of 8 (!) rocks shaped by winds and ocean. [Located](https://goo.gl/maps/daKvKhjdZWof112P7) off the coast of southern **Victoria**, Australia, it's a must-see site. If I get enough encouragement here and at PeakD, I will publish a separate post on my trip down the **Great Ocean Road**. ![12 Apostles, Australia](

# Runner up The year started for with an spontaneous trip with my Sister #2 to **Morskie Oko**, Poland. 1st of January, we woke up at 4am, drove 200km and hit the usually crowded parking lot first. We then hiked 10km up a valley to see a frozen lake surrounded by high peaks of **the Tatras**. Absolutely fantastically beautiful scenery! ![Morskie Oko, Poland](

# Also on the podium My third photo is an early morning panorama of **Barcelona**, Spain. The photo was taken from the **Tibidabo hill**, just before the sunrise. I loved the lights of Barcelona, the dark line of the Mediterranean and the dawn-lit sky. ![Barcelona at sunrise viewed from Tibidabo, Spain](

# Stay tuned This was the first in the series '**Year 2020 in 12 Photos**' - January. I will post consecutive months over the last 12 days of December 2020. Stay tuned!
