Forest Rays, BR Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, Mysore, India
We encountered this scene during an early morning wildlife safari. I have seen sunlit shafts in the past but never quite as dramatic as this one. Some research indicates that this is an atmospheric phenomenon caused when light interacts with airborne water droplets and foliage. This usually occurs when the Sun is at a low […]
St Giovanni Church, Ranui, Santa Magdalena, Dolomites, Italy
I often travel to Trentino-Alto Adige to take photos, and I often go in the summer, which isn’t exactly the best time. That year, I was staying at a hotel in Santa Magdalena, and that valley has several interesting locations. One of them is definitely the Church of San Giovanni in Ranui. For three consecutive […]
The Endless Dawn, Auronzo di Cadore, Belluno, Italy
A narrow wooden bridge reaches into silence, stopping just before the water, as if inviting a step that may never be taken. The lake lies still and opaque, reflecting a fractured light that struggles through heavy clouds. Beyond it, the Tre Cime di Lavaredo rise like a dark presence—solid, immovable, almost watchful—their form softened by […]
Spring Green, Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
While driving to Comox I noticed the sun lighting up the grass making it shimmer. I was so impressed, I returned home to get my camera. This wonderful glimmering grass just had to be captured. I have never seen the Courtenay River Estuary looking so bright. When I returned about an hour latter nothing had […]
Douro Calm Waters, Baiao, Porto, Portugal
The Douro, the third-longest river in the Iberian Peninsula, once a free and wild river, was tamed with the construction of dams. Between them, the waters are now calm, stirred only by the wind or by the passage of an occasional boat that causes a momentary swell. The entire riverside landscape evokes calm and introspection. […]

Situated in County Galway, Connemara boasts breathtaking landscapes that showcase Ireland’s natural beauty. The image features Pine Island on Derryclare Lough, bathed in the warm hues of an autumn […]
Cool Lake Reflection, BR Hills, Mysore, India
We stayed in a cottage inside a coffee Plantation in the picturesque hill station over the past Christmas. We took a nature walk around the cottage late in the evening. I came upon a small lake with lush green vegetation on its shores. The landscape happens to be lush green around these parts because it […]
Sunrise At Dungeness Beach, Kent, England
For me, sunrise is the best time of day. With the sun slowly appearing, a new day dawns, and everything feels in equilibrium as another day starts. That regularity somehow settles me, and it feels as though everything is going to be okay. It certainly helps bring calm to a troubled world. It also helps […]
