“To those who can dream, there is no such place as far away.”

The year 2020 has been for most of us pretty “local”. Staying at home was the new going out. Traveling as usual was not really in the cards with constant restrictions, quarantines and travel bans happening.

Who doesn’t miss Christmas shopping in New York or sipping cocktails at one of the rooftop bars with a Manhattan skyline view? Who wouldn’t wish to spend a romantic New Year’s Eve in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, this year?

Until we can travel to our favorite destinations in the world again, and enjoy mesmerizing views – why not let them come to our homes in the meantime? LUMAS gallery makes it possible. Here is my personal selection of photographs with an inspiring view.

From New York to Paris via Venice… until we can travel again, let’s dream @home!
