In The Spotlight, Rogue River, Oregon, USA
I hike with a friend every week during the winter. One of our favorite places to explore is the forested areas along the Rogue River between Medford and Crater Lake. The low light, with occasional bursts of sunlight, is perfect for finding a subject that is “In The Spotlight.” I love the meditative quality of […]
Oelerbeek, Twickel Estate, Twente, The Netherlands
A hidden spot in a wood where you would drive over the little bridge without a second thought. I confess I had seen a photo of this location from another photographer, so I may not be very original, but inspiration comes in different ways. The reflections on the Oelerbeek (Oeler Stream) are always stunning here, […]
Creek Beneath Redwoods, Big Sur, California, USA
This forest in entity[“place”,”Big Sur”,”California, USA”] is a place I return to often to absorb the goodness of nature. Towering redwoods, layered ferns, and flowing creeks create a landscape that feels timeless, peaceful, and deeply restorative.
Minde’s Polje Forest, Alcanena, Santarem, Portugal
The Minde’s Polje, a flat and closed basin within karst limestone in the central region of Portugal, measures 4 x 1.8 kilometres and is drained on the periphery by the sources of the Lena, Alviela, and Almonda rivers. During periods of greatest rainfall, the input of water into the system is greater than the flow […]
Soar, Takayna-Tarkine, Tasmania, Australia
This valley view within Tasmania’s wild takayna/Tarkine region is consistently one of my favourites to photograph, especially at sunrise. As the warmth of the sun hits the moist valley, mist and fog often rise up amongst the trees. The forest here particularly consists of an ever-moving composition of Eucalyptus regnans and Myrtle-Sassafras rainforest. This particular […]
Light And Shadow In A Riverside Forest, Alcanena, Santarem, Portugal
On the banks of the Alviela River, we find riverside trees, such as ash trees, with superb green foliage in spring and summer. Walking along the banks of the Alviela River on a cloudless day, with the sun shining brightly, I was marveled by the calm that emanated from watching the river with its dark […]
Cascata Di Trevi Nel Lazio, Frosinone, Italy
The Trevi Waterfall is one of the most famous attractions in the area. Normally, the presence of families and tourists makes it nearly impossible to photograph, but on this occasion, the bad luck of rain on the day we were there turned into a photographer’s blessing. The forest surrounding the waterfall, along the Aniene, Rome’s […]
Echoes Of A Childhood Forest, Drift Creek, Lincoln, Oregon, USA
While traveling a winding mountain logging road through the Oregon Coast Range in search of a youth camp from my teenage years, I pulled over to capture this fleeting moment when the early morning sun pierced the dense forest canopy. The brilliant sunburst cuts through the starkly silhouetted tree trunks, illuminating delicate strands of hanging […]
Winter Forest Sunset, Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, USA
I planned a trip to entity[“point_of_interest”,”Bryce Canyon National Park”,”Utah, USA”] during the winter, hoping to see the canyon after a fresh snowstorm. I made it to the park a few hours before sunset and had to walk a bit in the fresh snow to capture some photos of the canyon. The sun was going down, […]
Birch In Forest, Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee, USA
A wet September muted the colors throughout much of the eastern USA last autumn, requiring a discerning eye to find compelling compositions. This pair of birch trees stood out from the rest of the forest, with their white trunks and golden leaves reflecting what little sunlight there was that day.
