Desolate But Incredibly Beautiful, Tibet
Not sure exactly where this photo was taken on the road. It must have been at a pit stop along the way. We were on our way back from Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar to a town close to the border of Nepal, more than 1,000 km away. Tibet, often called the Roof of the […]
Early Winter Reflections, Strathcona Park, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
Thelwood Creek, located in Strathcona Park and flowing into Buttle Lake on Vancouver Island, is one of my favorite places to photograph. I visit the area during all four seasons. At this time, in January, I was there to find some winter scenes. Although not much snow was seen, there was an abundance of fall […]
Cathedral Rock And Cottonwoods, Sedona, Arizona
Autumn arrives briefly in Arizona’s high desert, and when it does, Cathedral Rock rises through cottonwoods dressed in gold. For a short window, Sedona’s red-rock intensity softens into something quieter and more fleeting—a landscape revealed only to those who return often enough to recognize the shift. Built over multiple sunset scouting trips and shaped by […]
Nubra Valley, Ladakh, India
Located in the remote part of Ladakh, Nubra Valley is at an altitude of over 10,000 feet. The valley is a unique blend of cold desert, sand dunes, and the confluence of the Nubra and Shyok rivers. This is also the home of double-humped Bactrian camels.
Desert Lines, Nazca, Peru
In August 2018, we travelled to Peru and Bolivia as members of an organised trip. Peru features a 1,555-mile (2,500 km) long, narrow desert strip along its Pacific coast, making up about 10% of the country and acting as one of the driest places on Earth. For that trip, I carried two identical Olympus cameras, […]
Desert Mountain Top, Joshua National Park, California, USA
I was visiting Joshua Tree National Park as part of my winter getaway. As I live on Vancouver Island, Canada, I became a snowbird after retirement. I now spend my winters in Arizona and California. It was on one of these trips that I spent the day in Joshua Tree Park. After spending most of […]
Monument Valley Icons, Navajo County, Arizona, USA
Monument Valley in Arizona is not a US National Park, but has the prestigious designation of Navajo Nation Tribal Park, of which there are only a few. I’d like to say it is challenging to see this view of the iconic East and West Mittens with Merrick Butte, but it is the centerpiece of the […]
Lilled Path In Color, Lake Skadar, Montenegro
The inspiration for this shot was the symmetry between the path of water and its surrounding lilies. That made the shot irresistible for me. The shot serves as a comparative photo for the black and white version already posted. I liked them both in color and black and white. What do you think?
The Royston Gap, Vancouver Island, Canada
The small town of Royston is located just south of Courtenay on the east side of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. I have walked the beach in Royston many times. But on this cloudy day I walked on a path that leads north of town. When I turned around, I spotted the clouds forming and […]
Wind Shaped Dunes, California Desert, USA
One of my favorite places to explore photographically is the badlands and deserts of the American Southwest. I usually spend several weeks exploring there every year in the fall to take advantage of cooler weather and colorful foliage. Travel throughout this entire region is challenging due to its massive size and the long driving distances […]
