Welcome to Palouse, Washington, USA

This is the scene you will see as you arrive in Palouse Country. Palouse Country is located in the southeast corner of the state of Washington, USA. I visited Palouse in the fall to view the fabulous colors created by the different texture of the grains during harvest. I wish to return in the spring […]
Extraordinary Lauterbrunnen Valley, Interlaken-Oberhasli, Bern, Switzerland

Lauterbrunnen Valley (Bern, Switzerland), located at the foot of the Bernese Alps, is a magical place. It is a combination of towering mountain peaks, such as the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau, evergreen pastures where dairy cows graze happily, and farms where excellent quality cheese is produced. Extremely steep limestone precipices form the edges of the […]
Wild Goose Island, St Mary Lake, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA

I got my first DSLR in 2008, and using it over the following year prompted my wife and me to begin visiting the US national parks (there are currently 64 of them) to capture the many landscapes. While I am retired now, for most of the years since then, I was working and was only […]
Lake Brienz Turquoise-blue Waters, Interlaken-Oberhasli, Bern, Switzerland

Lake Brienz, located at the foot of the Brienzer Rothorn mountain (2,350 meters high) in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland, marvels us with its turquoise-blue waters, which form a mirror-like reflection when the weather is calm and windless. Although the lake reaches a depth of over 200 meters, the water is shallower at the […]
Archway Islands Reflection, Wharariki Beach, Golden Bay, New Zealand

A 30-minute drive followed by a 30-minute walk brought me there 30 minutes before sunrise, allowing me to experience a VERY rare windless morning on this West Coast beach. With the beach to myself, the only company being a waking seal from one of the caves, I could stroll leisurely up and down the shore, […]
Giant’s Causeway, County Antrim, Northern Ireland

Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland, monumental basalt columns carved by nature, disappearing into the ocean. The stark, cool atmosphere and long exposure emphasize the mystical nature of this unique site on the north coast of County Antrim.
Quiet Pastel Light, Dune du Pilat, Archachon Bay, France

This photograph was taken during a quiet November sunrise from the shores of Cap Ferret, at a moment when the world still felt half-asleep. I arrived long before the first glow touched the horizon, giving myself time to settle into the stillness and plan the shot I had envisioned. The basin was calm, but not […]
Northern Lights Over Godafoss, Iceland

We planned to stay at the hotel at Godafoss for four nights. It was central to several areas we were interested in, plus it gave us the opportunity to photograph Godafoss under varying light conditions. We arrived on our first day in time to capture some sunset photos at the falls. Nighttime comes pretty early […]
Pink Winter Sunset, Highland City, Utah, USA

I knew I was in for a show when I looked at the weather forecast early that morning. I packed up my camera bag and took it with me as I went about my day. As sunset approached, I made my way closer to the mountains. I started up the canyon when I realized I’d […]
The Benches Of Massaciuccoli, Torre del Lago, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy

Torre del Lago is famous for being the summer home of Giacomo Puccini. In this photograph, we are on the opposite side of his home, in Massaciuccoli to be precise, where the Italian League for Bird Protection (LIPU) has installed observation posts and huts for waterfowl, wading birds, and other birds. The two structures I’ve […]
