The Retreat, Cape Kiwanda, Pacific City, Oregon, USA
The rocks high above Cape Kiwanda are a photographer’s dream and a photographer’s worst nightmare. I had always been lucky in this spot until this afternoon, having never been hit by a monster wave that reached my position (130 feet above the ocean) until this day. But one massive wave crashed against the rocks below, […]
Sunset Over Walakiri Beach, Sumba, Indonesia
Walakiri Beach is a mangrove forest with lone trees standing in the water of the Sumba Sea. A few years ago, there were more so-called dancing trees to find, but it became a hotspot for tourists via Instagram. The locals didn’t like it that much and cut a lot of trees down. Nowadays, photographers from […]
Cadini Di Misurina, Veneto, Italy
Typical view of the magnificent Cadini di Misurina. You can get to this location by walking for 40′ starting from Rifugio Auronzo.
Peter Iredale Shipwreck Sunrise, Fort Stevens State Park, Oregon, USA
On my last sunrise of a three-day adventure on the Northern Oregon Coast, I was out to capture a gallery shot of the Peter Iredale Shipwreck in Fort Stevens State Park. As I hiked out on the beach, the cloud formation looked very promising. A big color started happening in the southeast, and I raced […]
Skye Brook, Fairy Pools, Isle of Skye, Scotland
While most people focus on the Fairy Pools, I wanted to focus on the brook that feeds the pools.
Between Rainbowclouds In Shadow, Dyrholaeyjarviti, Reynisfjara, Iceland
Sometimes it only takes a single moment to change an entire mood. The day along Iceland’s south coast was slowly coming to an end, and as I looked toward Dyrhólaeyjarviti — the lighthouse on the peninsula — the sun painted the sky in warm, almost unreal tones. Layers of clouds drifted across the horizon, catching […]
Where Land Meets Silence, Dyrholaey, Reynisfjara, Iceland
Iceland’s south coast has a quality that is hard to put into words. On this day at Dyrhólaey, the light was soft, the wind gentle, and the ocean unusually calm. I was actually out searching for puffins — my heart has a soft spot for these small, charismatic birds — but then this view unfolded […]
The River’s Edge, Puntledge River Park, Courtenay, Vancouver Island, Canada
I had been to this park many times. The path beside the river offers many photo opportunities. On this day, I went looking for some autumn scenes. The path was full of fallen leaves, which added color. The river was running full, with many ducks enjoying the water. When I spotted this composition, I knew […]
The Silence Window, Quercianella, Livorno, Tuscany, Italy
This photograph, like so many others, was born on the Livorno coast, a coast that lends itself to minimalist photographs and landscapes lost in time. This photograph tells a silent story of time, sea, and stone. The long exposure creates an ethereal atmosphere; the water becomes a milky, still surface, while the rocks reveal ancient […]
First Light At Dead Horse Point, San Juan County, Utah, USA
Dead Horse Point, located on a mesa across the Colorado River from the Islands in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park in southeast Utah, is a small isthmus on the mesa, two thousand feet above the river. The narrow neck of the isthmus is easily blocked with trees and brush, and was used by […]
