Sun Rays Piercing Through Zoomland Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands
Zoomland, a forest situated next to the town of Bergen op Zoom in the Netherlands, is a place I love to visit on weekdays, as early as possible. The crowds of weekend visitors have gone, and it’s lovely to walk amongst the wide avenues of beech trees, especially in spring when the air is crisp. […]
Flooded Forest, Mekedatu, Kanakapura, India
Forest in the floodplain of the River Cauvery. Because of regular flooding, floodplains frequently have high soil fertility since nutrients are deposited with the floodwaters. This is an early morning view of the forest.
Through An Arboreal Screen, Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
Since my family and I moved to Vancouver Island from our home on Salt Spring Island almost three years ago, we have enjoyed many leisurely day trips, oftentimes simply meandering along the scenic country roads in Cowichan Valley, where serene natural landscapes and verdant terrain await us amid farmland, vineyards, and rolling hills. Here, on […]
A Way Down, Mt Washington, Courtenay, Vancouver Island, Canada
I often drive the back roads of Mt. Washington looking for good or great landscapes that say something. On this summer day, I came across an opening in the forest that suggested a way to walk down the mountain. After walking around the opening, I picked this spot to capture this beautiful scene of a […]
February Forest Sunset, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada
After what felt like an endlessly grey and rainy winter in the Lower Mainland, I was itching to strap on my snowshoes and crunch around under a sunny blue sky on a trail, so I hopped a bus out of the Lower Mainland up into the mountains around Whistler with my snowshoes, laptop, and cameras. […]
Fragile Dreams, Prepotto, Udine, Italy
This image is the result of repeated visits and careful scouting of the location, with a clear vision of the composition I wanted to achieve. On this particular morning, the conditions finally aligned: a dense, enveloping fog and complete stillness, with no wind to disturb the scene. The quiet atmosphere allowed the forest to reveal […]
An Torr Woodland Trail, Glencoe, Ballachulish, Scotland
This image was made at An Torr, a woodland trail in the Scottish Highlands, on a rain-softened autumn day. The path became the photograph’s organizing idea, not as a cliché of choice and consequence, but as something more physical. The palette here does most of the work. Fallen beech leaves have turned the path itself […]
Elakala Falls Aon, Blackwater Falls State Park, West Virginia, USA
In the heart of West Virginia’s Allegheny Mountains, Elakala Falls cascades through Blackwater Canyon like nature’s own masterpiece. Captured in computational mode with the OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II, this hidden gem reveals the interplay of light across velvety moss, weathered rock, and amber-toned waters stained by fallen leaves, along with intricate patterns carved by […]
Foggy Forest, Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, Canada
While driving the logging roads of the Comox Valley, I found myself driving in the fog. The higher I went, the foggier it got. Some of the scenes I was seeing changed quickly as I drove through them. At this location, at the top of the mountain, I saw this part of the forest fading […]
Forest Of Snowy Fans, Regional District of Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
Here on the southeast coast of Vancouver Island, with its Mediterranean-like climate, winters are usually mild and wet, but on occasion we do get some snow that lasts for more than a few hours. This past February, we were lucky enough to get a light dusting, which transformed the mostly deciduous forests, with their bare […]
