Sunset Seen From Pienza, Tuscany, Italy
From the walls of Pienza, the landscape of Val d’Orcia unfolds beneath the fading evening light. Rolling fields, cypress-lined roads, and scattered farmhouses reflect centuries of coexistence between people and the Tuscan countryside, with some structures dating back to the 14th century. Arriving in Pienza during the afternoon, shifting weather brought dense clouds over the […]
Stintino Salt Pan, Sassari, Italy
Nurra is the name given to the stretch of land in northwestern Sardinia that corresponds to the northern part of the province of Sassari, encompassing the towns of Sassari, Porto Torres, Alghero, and Stintino. It is a green, predominantly flat landscape, yet punctuated by sudden hills rising from the sea and featuring magnificent coastal lagoons—reminders […]
Elegug Stacks Sunrise, Pembroke, Wales
A rather grey morning greeted me at the Elegug Stacks in Wales, and I didn’t have very high expectations. The sun hadn’t risen yet, and I set up my tripod with my camera. A slight break in the clouds appeared on the horizon, giving me hope for a bit of nice light. Then the sun […]
Fire In The Sky, Venice Beach Pier, Florida, USA
I was wanting to go back to the Venice Beach Pier again to do another sunset photo op, but almost didn’t go because of the 1-1/4-hour drive (I was worried the sun would be concealed too much by all of the storm clouds everywhere). Once I arrived, though, I immediately realized it was going to […]
Morning Curves, Plage de l’Est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on April 28th at 5:42 am in Montreal, Plage de l’Est. Montreal is a big city. However, I found many places free of visual distractions appropriate for capturing sunrises and sunsets. Before leaving home, I checked the Photographer’s Ephemeris app to confirm whether the location was appropriate to capture the sunrise, […]
Sunrise Over Kanchenjunga Range, Darjeeling, West Bengal, India
Must have been a few minutes after sunrise. What strikes you is the sudden lighting of the top of the mountain range while the layers below are still in darkness. The town of Darjeeling is at the lower left of the image. The climbers’ route is over the ridgeline in shadow, right behind the summit.
Sunset Sun Pilar, Cascade Lake, Northern Minnesota, USA
Last fall I took an autumn trip into the northern part of Minnesota and decided to concentrate on drone exploration and photography of the many dozens of lakes in the region. Before leaving, I first studied Google Earth to see which of these very many lakes interested me most and then mapped out a five-day […]
Sunset Cloud, La Coulee Grou, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on June 16th at 8:44pm in Montreal at La Coulée Grou Beach. Montreal is a big city. However, I found many places free of visual distractions that were ideal for capturing sunrises and sunsets. From experience, I know that a couple of minutes after sunset or before sunrise, the sky can […]
