Rocks In A mountain Pond, Mt Washington, Courtenay, BC, Canada
Mt. Washington on Vancouver Island is well known as a ski resort in the wintertime. However, I much enjoy exploring all the logging and maintenance roads that wrap around the mountain. The backside of the ski hill has many small ponds. What a great place to find numerous photo opportunities. On this fine day, I […]
Winter Dawn On The Plain, Castelluccio di Norcia, Umbria, Italy
When the Castelluccio di Norcia plain is covered in snow, the landscape appears enchanted.
St John Church Sunrise, Val di Funes, Dolomites, Italy
I discovered a vantage point that offers a stunning view of St. John Church. I had to visit this location three consecutive mornings, as the first two were shrouded in clouds. However, on the third morning, the sun emerged, allowing me to capture one of my most cherished photographs of the Dolomites region.
Tis The Season, Courtenay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
I have visited this old barn many times. On this autumn day, I returned, hoping to find some fall colors. I was not disappointed. The bright red ivy covering the front of the barn and the fall colors in the surrounding trees were just what I was hoping for. The scarecrow and the pumpkins out […]
Sweeping View Of Rocky Mountain Range, Denver, Colorado, USA
We took this road trip some years ago on our visit to Denver to attend a conference. Trail Ridge Road is one of the most spectacular drives in the US, taking you to an elevation of 12183 feet (at the Alpine visitor center) where the Rocky Mountain range stretches out into the distance. It is […]
Underworld Val Maor, Villa di Villa, Belluno, Italy
Shot deep inside a remote canyon, this photograph captures the quiet tension between shadow and flowing light. Reached only after a long and hidden path, the place revealed itself as a raw and untouched underworld of stone, carved by centuries of water.
Montignoso Memories, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy
An old dock used to load marble onto ships, quarried in blocks from the quarries of Carrara, Pietrasanta, and the entire Apuan Alps. It’s like reliving times gone by—we’re talking about 100 years ago now—the marble is now loaded and transported using modern means to the port of Carrara.
An Unexpected Gift, Death Valley National Park, California, USA
For several consecutive years, sufficient rainfall during the winter months has flooded the salt pan playas of Death Valley. The view from Bad Water Basin, which is the lowest point in the valley at 282 feet below sea level, typically features formations of salt patterns that extend for more than a mile. Therefore, witnessing the […]
Striking Polynesian Landscape, Moorea Island, French Polynesia
In 2010, we spent three wonderful weeks in the French Polynesian Islands. Each day, I was amazed by the stunning mountains formed through volcanic activity. We dedicated an entire week to Moorea Island. The bay is visible on the right side; our lodge was situated directly in front of the distant large boat. We canoed […]
Inner Light, Upper Antelope Canyon, Arizona, USA
Upper Antelope Canyon in northeastern Arizona is an incredible place to photograph. However, it is also quite challenging. You must tour the canyon with a local tour company. The tour guides are very knowledgeable; they know all the best locations to capture images in the canyon, including when and where sunbeams appear during the summer. […]
