Harpswell Fishing Port, Bailey & Orr’s Island, Maine, USA
This was taken at an unusually quiet moment. Unusual, because there is something always going on here at the working waterfront, seafood trading, fishing, and a sailing tour location. I was struck by the many different objects in this scene, yet there was also a relationship among them that made for a dynamic composition, with […]
Godafoss In Early June, Iceland
Several years ago, shortly after retirement, my wife and I took a three-week trip to Iceland. We chose late May and early June for our trip because we wanted to see the Icelandic waterfalls in their full glory. Sure, the weather at that time can be rainy and cold, but the water flows strongly. Our […]
Pangong Lake, Ladakh, India
Pangong Lake is a high-altitude lake (13862 ft) located in a remote part of Ladakh along the frontiers of India and China. A long, treacherous, mountainous road from the city of Leh (10000 ft) with an overnight stop at a remote town led us to the lake. As we approached the lake and were descending […]
Alpe di Siusi Sunrise, Dolomites, Italy
This photograph captures a sunrise on the autumnal Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm) in the Italian Dolomites. Alpe di Siusi is the most breathtaking Alpine pasture in the world and the largest high Alpine pasture in Europe.
Misty Lake on a Summer Night, Iso Niskalampi, Kuusamo, Finland
This photograph was taken at midnight in Northern Finland near the Arctic Circle, where the sun never sets for a couple of weeks in summer. That time was practically over when I visited this lake in July, but due to the long twilight, it is not dark at night even this time of the summer. […]
Mount Everest Backyard, Gyirong County, Tibet
Gyirong Valley is located at the border of Nepal and Tibet. It is lush with vegetation, very different from Tibet’s barren semi-desert landscape. Many mountain peaks surround the region, with the tallest peak, Langbo Kangri, at 6,648 m (21,811 ft) above sea level. This photo was taken early in the morning from a hotel room […]
Morning Fog, Lake Sunapee, NH, USA
It was February 2, and it was 70ºF. Heavy fog was lifting off the lake. I had my multi-lens computational camera with me and grabbed this pictorial image. I liked the very unromantic red cleat on the dock.
Stormy Maroon Bells, Snowmass Village, Colorado, USA
I had been to the Bells a handful of times, and almost every time, there were some sort of stormy weather conditions, which, of course, added to the amazing nature of this area. My son and I were camping out in Twin Lakes, and he hadn’t been up Independence Pass or to Aspen. So I […]
Road to Gropin, Gropina, Loro Ciuffenna, Tuscany, Italy
The ancient town of Gropina is located a short walk from Loro Ciuffenna in Tuscany, about 25 kilometres from Florence. Walking up the hill to the town, the light was good at 3:30, and by the time we were returning, the December light was perfect. The tree and the background scene looked like something the […]
Lake Rakshastal, Tibet
Lake Rakshastal is a saltwater lake lying just west of Lake Manasarovar and south of Mount Kailash. It covers a total area of 250 square kilometres (97 sq mi) and is at an altitude of 4,575 metres (15,010 ft). Because of its high saline content, it does not support any marine animals. The photo was […]
