Bamburgh Castle First Light, Northumberland, England
This is my favorite image, taken on a trip to Northumberland in late July/early August 2026. After the rain the previous evening, I was hoping for a stunning sunrise. So, a 3 am start—a peek out of the window—and a short drive down to the beach at Bamburgh. By the time I arrived, the sky […]
Amble Pier Before The Rain, Northumberland, England
This was one of the first images I took on a trip to Northumberland in August 2026. The weather forecast was not at all promising, but before the rain arrived and set in for the day, I managed to capture a long exposure of the pier. There was just a vague hint of color in […]
Villa Scarena, Italy
This shot was taken while staying in Villa Saraceno, a Landmark Trust property near Padua, in early January. The villa is a Palladian villa, which defines how the external plastering was done. The villa was very cold and large inside. This image is one of many taken on the grounds of the villa. There were […]
The Road Home, Ojai, California, USA
Mountain biking at sunrise in the beautiful hills of Ventura County near Ojai, California, is one of my favorite ways to begin the day. On this particular morning, in Southern California’s winter, we were following the trail home as the rising sun began to fill the landscape with warm color. Brilliant yellows and oranges appeared […]
Tracks On The Sand, Ras Al Jinz, Oman
This photo was taken during a weekend visit to the Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve in Oman. The reserve was established in 1996 to protect 45 km of Oman’s eastern shore and conserve the nesting ground of sea turtles. The Ras Al Jinz beach is world-famous for the nesting of the endangered green turtle (Chelonia […]
Echoes Of A Tuscan Morning, Pienza, Tuscany, Italy
A morning glimpse of Val d’Orcia from the ancient walls of Pienza—a hilltop town that embodies the quiet charm of Tuscany. Just after sunrise, soft light spills across the rolling hills as drifting clouds glide over cypress-lined roads and scattered farmhouses, some centuries old, others added in later years—gently revealing themselves through the delicate glow.
Poplar Forest, Bertiandos, Ponte de Lima, Viana do Castelo, Portugal
Young poplar forests are among the most striking locations for a landscape photographer. They offer unique perspectives—whether in summer, with the trees in full leaf, or in winter, when the trees stand bare. A few days ago, on a clear, sunny day, I was captivated by a small forest of poplars planted, some years ago, […]
Curves, Collagna, Reggio Emilia, Emilia Romagna, Italy
Autumn is one of the times of year when I most enjoy observing the landscape from above. In the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine National Park, the forest seemed to have transformed into a vast natural palette, filled with yellows, oranges, reds, and the last remaining shades of green. I launched my drone, looking for a composition that […]
Cold And Warm, Selfoss, Iceland
On every photographic journey to Iceland, I try to take a few flights in a Piper aircraft, searching for remote landscapes and unusual perspectives that would be difficult to discover—even with a drone. Flying over this extraordinary land reveals hidden patterns, colors, and details that remain invisible from the ground. This photograph captures a fascinating […]
August 12th Solar Eclipse, Penafiel, Porto, Portugal
I was marveling at and amazed to see the (almost total) eclipse on August 12th. Near where I live, in Penafiel, it reached 96% coverage of the sun’s disc. I photographed the eclipse from beginning to end using an ND 1,000,000 filter. To obtain composite images, before the eclipse, I photographed the places where the […]
