Pines And Ferns, Lamahatta, West Bengal, India

Hiking through the wet and dense pine forests of Lamahatta (a scenic village near the hill station of Darjeeling, India) in search of a hidden lake, I chanced across this beautiful formation of ferns, which provided a great foreground for the dense, mist-covered forest. Standing in the damp forest for almost an hour to find […]

Forest Of Arden, Joliet, Illinois, USA

A well-known Joliet park in Illinois, this beautiful forest drive winds through old oaks. The forest was owned by a family that donated a large portion of it to the City of Joliet Park District. The park purchased a handful of my forest photos and hung them in the new convention center. The sizes are […]

Alpine Forest, Bernese Oberland, Switzerland

In the quiet heat of an August afternoon, I left the marked trail and stumbled into this hidden forest amphitheater, where rock, moss, and trees formed a natural cathedral. Standing in the dry riverbed, I watched the sun slip through a narrow break in the canopy and explode into a starburst above the cliff. For […]

Titans, Jedediah Smith Redwoods, Crescent City, California, USA

One of the reasons I return to the redwood forests of Northern California year after year is that they continually challenge the way I see. Unlike many of the landscapes I photograph, the redwoods rarely reveal themselves through dramatic light or obvious compositions. Instead, they reward patience, observation, and a willingness to slow down. This […]

November Escape, Voderady Beechwoods, Near Prague, Czech Republic

By late November, the festive season is already beginning to gather momentum. The noise, the rush, the constant reminders of what comes next. This foggy afternoon in the forest offered a welcome counterpoint. Wrapped in mist, the trees and still water seemed to exist outside of time. The world softened, distractions faded, and the boundaries […]

One Foggy Morning, Jonsrud Viewpoint, Sandy, Oregon, USA

I woke up to a city completely blanketed in fog. It was barely light enough to see outside, and the radar showed heavy, stubborn cloud cover. Since I was already awake, I decided to take a chance and get behind the wheel anyway. The twenty-five-mile drive was a total whiteout, and my expectations for a […]

Little Stream In The Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, England

I visited my local forest hoping to find some wild garlic toward the end of the season, but after a few hours, I realized the garlic had come and gone. Disappointed, I trekked back to my car, annoyed that I hadn’t visited the area sooner. After what seemed like hours, I stumbled upon this scene […]
