With all of its trouble and turbulence, 2020 has not been short on extremes and unexpected events as it similarly has had no shortage of awe-inspiring vistas and extreme beauty.
Always beautiful, Albania’s landscape, flora and fauna flourished during the tumultuous year that put everything on hold. A year of rare full moons, emptied beaches, the newly invigorated life of birds and blooming flowers, the discovery of new exotic destinations and the setting of new plans and adventures for the upcoming year. This was Albania in 2020 in 20 photos.
