Christmas season is over us. And we are getting closer to the end of yet another year. It’s been a inspiring year in so many ways. For me personally, I feel blessed to have been able to accomplish a lot of the things I set out to do in the beginning of the year, whether personal development, expansion into new business areas of photography, travels to various places of the world, teaching workshops and not the least the contact with all of you here in the blogger’s sphere. It’s been stimulating to discuss with many of you, exchange thoughts and getting feedback on many of my concept I have written about in this blog. Thanks for so much inspiration and encouragement.
I will log out for the rest of the year and enjoy a couple of weeks of holiday and time off. Before I do so, I want to wish you all happy holidays. And not the least may you have a wonderful start of the new year soon coming up. I’ll be back shortly after we have entered the new year.
In Flow with Otto

A Merry Christmas to you and your family Otto. I haven’t been as active writing or reading posts during this past years, something I hope to correct in 2018, but I always enjoy what you write and the way you put a new ‘spin’ on creativity and the Art of Seeing.
I don’t think there is anything to “correct”. We take part in the blog sphere whenever we can and enjoy it, no? Thank you for the kind words, Andy. Merry Christmas to you, too.
Happy Holidays to you, Otto. Enjoy!!!

May you have a very merry Christmas and another happy new year! we had loads of snow today, and hubby is off for holidays on Friday… I will set him to cooking up a storm! he makes the most awesome feast for Christmas! he’s a very very good cook!
I was watching a movie tonight where the heroine was a photographer, and she reminded me of the way i used to be, it was quite inspirational and i might get a new camera next year 🙂
xoxox see you next year!
Thank you, Elaine. I hope you will keep the whites for the Christmas. Exciting to think of, getting a new camera, no? Wish you all the best.
yes, i might get one of those full frame sony cams when i have the money… or maybe just one of those smaller cams with a huge zoom… but i would like a cam that could have a portrait lens…. i still have a ricoh GR-D1 or some such… 2018 is going to be an AWESOME YEAR!!! xoxox
It is going to be an awesome year!
Wishing you a very merry Christmas Otto! Your stunning photos of snowy scenes have enriched my Christmas soul preparation with beauty. And you’ve been a blessing to me in 2017! All the best to you…
Thank you for the lovely words, Colleen. I have enjoyed our contact as well. Merry Christmas to you!

You’re very welcome Otto and…thank you 🙏🏼🎄🙋🏻
Happy Holidays, Otto!
Thank you, Julie. I wish the same for you.
You have a following.. Will you teach me how you got to that point please? I started my blog this month and am getting 100 followers each week but I think it’s not enough
It takes time to build a bigger amount of followers. What is most important is be active on your own blog and on others as well.
Thanks for the advice
I hope you and your loved ones had a wonderful Christmas, and I wish you the happiest of New Years in 2018. Thank you for all your posts here which continue to teach and inspire me!
Thank you, León. We did have a lovely Christmas. I wish all the best for you and yours in the new year.
Best wishes @Otto and great success for 2018. God bless you.
Thank you, Ron. I wish you all the best for 2018, too.
Hope you had a good Festive Season Otto. Wishing you all the best in 2018!
I did have a good holiday season. Thank you, Simon. I wish you a great 2018.
I hope you had wonderful Holidays, Otto. I’ve spent a lot of mine trying to catch up on my reading of the the blogs I follow. I will do what I can before the New Year starts and then I think I am going to have to start fresh.
It has been an honour to be able to read you this year and I look forward to more in the New Year. Happy New Year, Otto.
Thank you for the lovely words, Michelle. I look forward to reading more on your blog. 🙂 I wish you a wonderful 2018.
