Photographic archive
Recent additions to an ever-growing collection of photos I’m sharing publicly here on the site. (Don’t be surprised if the latest additions are older. I’m adding them from my personal archive in a pretty random order.)
Videos
Lots of work stopped me from going out so much, but we did get in a great trip to canton Wallis.
Making more of an effort to publish moving pictures, including one from Dartmoor in June.
With a name like “Ice Path”, you know before you arrive that a hiking route is going to be a pretty spectacular one.

About me and the site
I’m Mark; a photographer, web developer and blogger living in Switzerland. Permanent Tourist is my personal website. I came up with the name because I try to live like an interested visitor, whether at home or elsewhere.
WordPress
WordPress is currently the most popular content management system in the world. I’ve been using WordPress for personal and business projects since 2003, both as part of my day job and also as a freelancer. I have been an active member of the Swiss WordPress community since the first official Swiss WordCamp in 2014, co-organising and presenting at conferences across the country.
