Kaatterskill Falls in the Catskills, Greene County, NY, USA
I visited the lower falls at the Kaaterskill Falls area. There is a small parking area that leads to this site, but the walk is a short and somewhat unsafe one. The road winding through the mountain is often traveled by many people eager for a glimpse of the falls. Although the lower falls may […]
Golden Hour Over Himalayas, Ladakh, India
Late evening sun rays light up the foothills of the Himalayan mountain range. Ladakh is crisscrossed by several mountain ranges, one of which is the Mighty Himalayas. I didn’t have to go too far for this beautiful view. I took this picture from the city of Leh, the administrative capital of Ladakh.
Late Afternoon at Fosslar Waterfall, Iceland
After a full day of photography on Iceland’s south Atlantic coast with strong and gusty winds, it was a relief and a pleasure to find relative calm at Fosslar Waterfall. The late afternoon sun’s low light was perfect for the icy blue waters tumbling down over the rocks. I used an ND filter to seek […]
Ayasse River Falls, Champorcher, Valle D’Aosta, Italy
This image shows a waterfall located along the rather steep path in the suggestive gorge of the Ayasse River, which runs alongside for a stretch. After crossing a bridge, we find a steep climb in the woods: it is the area known as “la scaletta” because it is characterised by numerous stone or wooden steps […]
Dardagna Falls, Appennino, Tosco Emiliano, Emilia Romagna, Italy
This location is on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. Specifically, we are at the Dardagna River Falls. It takes about a 30-minute walk to get from the parking lot to the falls. I love that area; it reminds me a lot of Scotland. To tell the truth, I love the whole of the United Kingdom, even if […]
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. […]
