Balma Forest, Piedmont, Italy
The name “Balma” is mainly linked to the Cervo Valley, a beautiful Alpine valley characterized by its many forests and historic stone quarries. Here, you will find both fantastic hiking trails and routes that offer different types of landscape photography opportunities. I took this image last March. For me, it represents the grandeur of nature.
Last Stand, Willamette National Forest, Oregon, USA
Along Highway 58 in Central Oregon, you will find numerous places to explore natural treasures, and you do not have to go far off the beaten path. Some of my favorite forest scenes I have ever experienced were along Highway 58, between Eugene and Willamette Pass. This spot has beautiful natural light in all seasons, […]
Desert Exposure, Judean Desert, Israel
The story behind this picture is my wife and me going through the beautiful Judean Desert, with a camera in my hand. The ridges spread out around the brown flat area were just too symmetrical to resist.
The Old Tree, Brecon Beacons, Wales
While hiking up one of the many beautiful hills surrounding the Brecon Beacons, I came across this craggy old tree, perfectly situated at the edge of a forest, creating negative space and complementary colors between the forest’s green and the sky’s blue. The tree stood out from the rest of the forest as if it […]
Backlit Maple Leaves, Silver Falls State Park, Oregon, USA
Silver Falls State Park, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains east of Salem, is famous for its 10 waterfalls that can be viewed along a six-mile trail. But equally beautiful, I think, is its setting in a dense temperate rainforest of firs and a variety of maple trees, including bigleaf maples. Any time of […]
Coastal Bay, Talamone, Italy
I was walking in Talamone a few days ago. This is an amazing place in Tuscany, Italy, with a stunning view of pristine water that looks like an uncontaminated island.
Redwood Forest, Humboldt County, California, USA
Growing up in California, I spent much of my childhood exploring the redwood forests. I distinctly remember standing among them as a young boy, feeling incredibly small beneath those towering giants. After moving away, I was only able to return for a few brief visits over the years. However, once I picked up a camera, […]

The Great Rift Valley in Kenya is a major geological feature formed by the movement of tectonic plates, running from north to south through the country. It includes a variety of landscapes, such as escarpments, lakes, and active volcanoes, and is known for its rich biodiversity and archaeological significance.
Looking Up At Giants, Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, Felton, CA, USA
On my very first trip to California, I really wanted to see either redwoods or giant sequoias. Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park was the closest option, so redwoods it would be! I was somewhat new to the world of DSLR cameras and was struggling to capture a picture that showed the massive scale of these […]
Dalton Highway Forest, Marion Creek, Central Brooks Range, Alaska, USA
On a late August expedition along the Dalton Highway, I spent a week photographing the Brooks Range: Alaska’s northernmost mountain range, where mountains and tundra stretch to the horizon in every direction. While the group descended to Marion Creek to work with the water and light, I stayed behind on a hiking path enclosed by […]
