Cut Bank Creek Morning, Glacier National Park, Browning, Montana, USA

Visiting Glacier National Park’s west entrance in August 2025 was challenging due to advance reservation requirements for that entry point. We travelled around the park to the east side and stayed in Browning, Montana, which was the closest town with available lodging. So each morning, we had to make the substantial drive from Browning to […]
Afternoon At Baring Falls, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA

We took a boat ride on Saint Mary Lake while visiting the east side of Glacier National Park in August of 2025. The wind was quite strong and the lake choppy, but the boat captain was able to bring us ashore skillfully for the short hike to Baring Falls. The falls are on Baring Creek, […]
Striking Sunset, Riviere Des Prairies, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

I took this photograph on September 28, 2025, at 06:21. The result reflects two fundamental elements of photography: careful planning and familiarity with one’s gear. As mentioned in a previous publication, I used The Photographer’s Ephemeris to identify local sunset and sunrise locations that I could reach in less than twenty minutes. The weather forecast […]
Lake Skadar Reeds, Montenegro

Lake Skadar is one of the biggest bird preserves in Europe. My wife and I had planned to get there at an optimum time to see and photograph the birds. No such luck! What we did find was a beautiful lake, with or without birds. The shot was taken from a boat, and the passage […]
Notchtop Mountain Reflections, Estes Park, CO, USA

We had an unusually long fall in Colorado last year. I was able to make this hike happen because, while there was rain in the forecast, it didn’t appear to be long-lasting. I set out to make my way up to Lake Helene in Rocky Mountain National Park and was getting splattered intermittently along the […]
Dreamed Sunrise, Plage de l’Est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

I took this photograph on August 28, 2025, at 06:20. The result reflects two fundamental elements of photography: careful planning and familiarity with one’s gear. As mentioned in a previous publication, I used The Photographer’s Ephemeris to identify a local sunrise location that I could reach in less than twenty minutes. The weather forecast was […]
Northern Lights Over Colorado Springs, Garden Of The Gods Park, CO, USA

This was such a fun and beautiful night. My friend alerted me to the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights here in Colorado, so I headed over to Garden of the Gods Park as it was getting dark. As soon as I arrived, I checked whether my phone camera was picking up the lights. To […]
Raindrops On Cypress Tree, Santa Cruz do Douro, Baiao, Porto, Portugal

Last October, on a grey and rainy day, I marvelled at seeing raindrops falling from the leaves of a cypress tree that stood by the side of the path where I was walking. The water trickled very slowly down the leaves, forming large drops that then fell. The atmosphere was perfectly still. I used a […]
Upside Down Heaven, Auronzo di Cadore, Belluno, Italy

Jagged peaks rise like a fractured cathedral, their stone faces carved by time and silence. Beneath this immense amphitheatre of rock, a solitary refuge rests in the valley, its faint lights a quiet declaration of human presence. The winding path that leads to it feels less like a road and more like a question—about scale, […]
Glorious Beach Sunset, Lavra, Matosinhos, Porto, Portugal

Last October, I went to watch the sunset on a beach near where I live. The sky was perfectly clear, and the sun was setting on the horizon. Just before it disappeared, I captured this image. The tide was high. I used a neutral density filter so I could use a low shutter speed to […]
