After Sunset, Agropoli, Cilento Coast, Italy
Right after sunset, I waited for the blue hour to get a longer exposure and better highlight the rocks in the foreground. In the background, in the distance, are the Amalfi Coast and Capri on the left.
Beautiful Desolation, Tibet
Another stunning view of the desert with the snow-capped mountain in the background. The driver of the bus we were on would stop now and then so we could stretch our legs. The journey to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar is nearly 1,000 km and takes about two days to cover the distance.
Full Tilt, Oatman Road, Old Route 66, Arizona, USA
John Steinbeck called Route 66 “the mother road, the road of flight,” and along the stretch between Oatman and Topock, the phrase still resonates with the landscape. Full Tilt was captured during magic hour, when the sun slips behind the Black Mountains and the hardpan exhales the day’s heat. Light saturates the desert—pavement amber, scrub […]
Between The Cathedrals, Praia das Catedrais, Galicia, Spain
This was a lovely morning at Praia das Catedrais in Galicia. With the tide being low, it was possible to walk between the sea stacks and capture some long exposures.
Desolate But Incredibly Beautiful, Tibet
Not sure exactly where this photo was taken on the road. It must have been at a pit stop along the way. We were on our way back from Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar to a town close to the border of Nepal, more than 1,000 km away. Tibet, often called the Roof of the […]
Early Winter Reflections, Strathcona Park, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
Thelwood Creek, located in Strathcona Park and flowing into Buttle Lake on Vancouver Island, is one of my favorite places to photograph. I visit the area during all four seasons. At this time, in January, I was there to find some winter scenes. Although not much snow was seen, there was an abundance of fall […]
Cathedral Rock And Cottonwoods, Sedona, Arizona
Autumn arrives briefly in Arizona’s high desert, and when it does, Cathedral Rock rises through cottonwoods dressed in gold. For a short window, Sedona’s red-rock intensity softens into something quieter and more fleeting—a landscape revealed only to those who return often enough to recognize the shift. Built over multiple sunset scouting trips and shaped by […]
Nubra Valley, Ladakh, India
Located in the remote part of Ladakh, Nubra Valley is at an altitude of over 10,000 feet. The valley is a unique blend of cold desert, sand dunes, and the confluence of the Nubra and Shyok rivers. This is also the home of double-humped Bactrian camels.
Desert Lines, Nazca, Peru
In August 2018, we travelled to Peru and Bolivia as members of an organised trip. Peru features a 1,555-mile (2,500 km) long, narrow desert strip along its Pacific coast, making up about 10% of the country and acting as one of the driest places on Earth. For that trip, I carried two identical Olympus cameras, […]
Monument Valley Icons, Navajo County, Arizona, USA
Monument Valley in Arizona is not a US National Park, but has the prestigious designation of Navajo Nation Tribal Park, of which there are only a few. I’d like to say it is challenging to see this view of the iconic East and West Mittens with Merrick Butte, but it is the centerpiece of the […]
