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 […]
Howling Dog Sea Stack, Bandon Beach, Oregon, USA
It is early morning on Bandon Beach with a full moon, a low tide, my favorite time to come to the beach looking for photographic opportunities. It is interesting how, during the winter months, the low tides are in the evening and during the summer, the low tides are in the morning, a consequence of […]
Ardmore Cliff Sunset, Co. Waterford, Ireland
The beautiful seaside resort in Ardmore is a tranquil, unspoilt natural beauty. It offers stunning views and is the perfect location for nature enthusiasts. If I were to give my absolute preferred view of the world, this would rate very highly. Presently, the sea pink flowers are a wonderful sight to behold as they grow […]
Badwater Milky Way Arch Panorama, Salt Flats, Death Valley, California, USA
Finally, a long-awaited opportunity to visit Badwater Basin in Death Valley nearly ended in disappointment. After 4 nights of too cloudy or too windy weather, the skies cleared and the wind calmed for a glorious night of shooting under the stars. Here, the ancient saltwater flats on this basin sit 282 feet below sea level, […]
