Bluebonnets Railroad Tracks, Near Marble Falls, Burnet County, Texas, USA
Waited for the bluebonnets to bloom in Texas and hiked the railroad tracks to the train trestle at sunset. The skies were hazy until just before sunset, when everything lit up perfectly!
Approaching Storm, Wahiba Sands, Oman
In the late winter of 2024, I made a weekend trip to the Wahiba Sands desert of Oman. This is a popular destination, both with Omanis and tourists, but it is still possible to drive for many kilometers without seeing anyone, provided you deviate a little bit from the beaten track. Since I was with […]
Icelandic Atmospherics, Kerlingardalsvegur, South Iceland
We stopped to photograph the bleak Icelandic landscape, enhanced by the prevailing rainy weather conditions and rising mist. I wandered off a little to look for some interesting foreground and found this patch of Icelandic moss. I used a Lee Hard Grad filter to enhance the brooding sky. A little shading (brightening) of the moss […]
Road to St Bathans, Maniototo, South Island, New Zealand

Surrounded by mountain ranges, it is characterized by its vast open landscapes, rock formations, and wide horizons, giving it its ‘big sky country’ nickname. It is a lesser-visited part of the country and, as such, […]

While in the area, we decided to make a quick stop at the Venice Beach Fishing Pier to take some daytime pictures under the pier.
Snowdrifts Into Stillness, Haslam Creek, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
Since my family and I moved to Vancouver Island, we have enjoyed discovering intriguing landscapes where colossal human-made structures have often become almost like natural features, as native salal, swordfern, and thimbleberry blend them back into the forest. One of the island’s most well-known engineered structures is the Island Rail Corridor (aka “The Sleeping Spine”) […]
Road To Paradise, Cuillin Hills, Isle of Skye, Scotland
A couple of years ago, I organized a photo trip with friends in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. We spent one week in the Glencoe region and a second on the Isle of Skye. The Highlands are truly a photographer’s paradise. To plan the trip, I relied mainly on The Landscape Photographer’s Guide for both regions, […]
Above Rice Fields, Maiorca, Montemor o Velho, Coimbra, Portugal
At this time of year, the seeds begin to ripen on the rice plants. The green fields show patches of yellow hues. The landscape has great aesthetic beauty, especially on sunny and windy days, with the plants—some green, others already yellow—undulating in the wind and shining in the sun. Such was the image I witnessed […]
Bobby Sox Trees, Yellowstone National Park, USA
Ride the snow coach in January in Yellowstone National Park at minus 10 degrees to get this image—so surreal and peaceful.
