River Of Ice, Matanuska Glacier, Alaska, USA
This image was made during a recent workshop to shoot fall colors in Alaska. The Matanuska Glacier, a 25-mile river of ice, is framed by trees, shrubs, and the peaks of the Chugach Range in the distance. From where I was standing, the glacier was hidden by a hill directly in front of us. Using […]
Trans-Alaska Pipeline, Castner Ice Cave, Alaska, USA
An aerial perspective of the elevated Trans-Alaska Pipeline cuts through a winter landscape, bordered by a frozen river plain and the Alaska Range. What you are seeing on the right is the zig-zagging structure. It runs 800 miles from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez and is built above ground on Vertical Support Members (VSMs) in this […]
Road Leading To Castner Ice Cave, Alaska, USA
Donnelly Dome, Alaska, and the mountains rising behind it are the Alaska Range (specifically the Delta Mountains and Hayes Range of the Eastern Alaska Range). Standing as an isolated, glacially sculpted dome (a monadnock) rising out of the Delta River plains along the Richardson Highway, it frequently serves as a dramatic foreground subject for the […]
Pitigliano Road, Italy
This picture was taken during a walk in Pitigliano; I just loved the greens and the leading road between.
Bhavli, Monsoon Cascade, Igatpuri, Maharashtra, India
During the monsoon, the hills around Igatpuri come alive in lush green, with streams and waterfalls emerging across the Sahyadris. Bhavli Waterfall is one such serene cascade, flowing gracefully over the dark basalt cliffs.

This is the Matanuska Glacier, a 25-mile-long, 4-mile-wide river of ice in the Chugach Mountains northeast of Anchorage. This image was shot on a doors-off helicopter flight on my recent trip to Alaska. Even on a relatively warm […]

The Glacial Thread Of Skogafoss, Iceland
The raw, undulating topography of southern Iceland is anchored by the roaring power of the falls. The meandering, slate-grey river transforms into a sweeping visual anchor, carving a striking diagonal leading line that draws the viewer’s eye seamlessly from the lower right foreground directly into the heart of the cascading water. The geometric precision of […]
Through the Tea-Covered Hills, Munnar Tea Garden, India
The rolling, tea-covered hills of the Western Ghats, scattered trees, and winding roads form the distinctive landscape of Munnar, Southern India. In the landscape around Gap Road, tea gardens occupy much of the mountain slopes, extending from the foreground to the distant hills. The winding road cuts through these plantations, following the natural shape of […]
Sunrise Over Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, Iceland
One of the most wonderful mornings on our recent Iceland tour was spent watching the sun rise over Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. This famous glacial lake in southeast Iceland is filled with massive floating icebergs that calve from Vatnajökull—the largest and most voluminous ice cap in Iceland and the whole of Europe. Both the formations and […]
