Plitvice National Park, Croatia

Plitvice national park croatia by panos laskarakis

An unusual waterfall pearl in the wild nature of the Balkans, in front of a foggy sunrise, during a colourful autumn. The pure natural light makes the original landscape for me! Early in the morning, I got this shot when the light embraced the whole scene. The colours of the fog and the shape of […]

Benalla, Victoria, Australia

Benalla victoria australia

My working day usually begins with my drive from home to work. During Autumn or Winter, we typically get a few foggy mornings, and as such, I like to stop when I see the sun trying to burn through the fog and a tree that shows off some rays shooting out of its branches. I […]

Death Valley NP, California, USA

Death valley np california usa

I have always been an outdoorsy person, but the idea of visiting sand dunes during high winds was a bit nerve-racking. However, experiencing those intense conditions gave me a new perspective. For nearly a month, every moving part of my gear produced a “crunchy” noise due to sand particles getting into it. I still can’t […]

Lofoten Aurora, Norway

Lofoten norway

On my first trip to Norway, the goal was to catch the aurora, and my partners and I picked some locations to do it. To be honest, I had spent more time staring at this beautiful natural show than I did taking pictures; it was so overwhelming that I forgot why I was there. It […]

Cottonwood trees badlands utah usa

It’s all about the light in the desert, as was the case with this scene. While hunting around for a nice grouping of cottonwood trees among a forest of mostly barren and brown ones, I found this group. The almost perfect mimicry of the shape of the trees, in the ridges of the badlands behind, […]

[the_ad id=”61716″] I love to visit Iceland in the winter. Well, I do think that the Island looks great in any season, but anyhow I took this shot on Christmas day I believe back in 2017. My ex-wife and I had really incredible experience, weather was icy and very windy. The road was extremely slippery […]

Triberg, Black Forest, Germany

Triberg black forest germany

Almost three years ago, I decided to visit the Black Forest in Germany during Autumn. The scenery and colours were amazing at this time of year. The whole place was a real colour feast, full of autumnal colours in all kinds of shades. The forest was a joy, full of bright colours, small water streams, […]

On a cold February afternoon, I left the Moab elementary school where I work as Art Coach and saw dark clouds billowing above the town. With gear and extras already in my truck, I drove up to I-Sky. The Green River Overlook, my favourite, was closed. I later found out the NPS was searching for […]

Antorno Lake, Dolomites, Italy

Antorno lake dolomites italy

I started at 2 am for a sunrise over the Dolomites, but I found only haze, so I decided to move quickly to another location, Antorno Lake, for the last light of dawn. I was really lucky!
