First Light At Dead Horse Point, San Juan County, Utah, USA
Dead Horse Point, located on a mesa across the Colorado River from the Islands in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park in southeast Utah, is a small isthmus on the mesa, two thousand feet above the river. The narrow neck of the isthmus is easily blocked with trees and brush, and was used by […]
Capitol Peak Autumn View, Colorado, USA
This photo was captured at the perfect end to a perfect day. A friend and I spent a stormy night camping along Kebler Pass. We woke up to storm clouds blowing across the freshly snow-covered peaks. After capturing photos for hours, we took a break for some much-needed sustenance and rest. Later in the day, […]
Mist In The Forest, Courtenay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
A small local park is located next to our shopping mall. The park, Millard Creek, has trails cutting through it that I like to explore. On this day, the mist was rolling in through the variety of trees found in a coastal forest. After walking a number of paths, I came across this scene. The […]
Hunts Mesa, Kayenta, Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Arizona, USA
Several years ago, I traveled to Arizona in late January to visit our daughter, which included a preplanned visit to Monument Valley. Monument Valley sits just across the Utah border in northeastern Arizona. For the trip, I reserved a Navajo guide for three days to ensure I could experience all the wonders the Valley has […]
The Desert Spire Bay, Central Badlands, Utah, USA
One of my favorite places to explore photographically is the desert badlands in central Utah, USA. I usually spend several weeks there every year in the fall, hiking and exploring to take advantage of the cooler weather and colorful fall foliage. I have roamed around this area for decades with various cameras, but starting in […]
Flowering Pian Grande, Castelluccio Di Norcia, Italy
The lentil flowering season is one of the most anticipated moments for landscape photographers. Hundreds of photographers flock to the Castelluccio plain in search of memorable shots. In this case, I decided to focus on the flowers, but also on the mountains that frame the valley.
The Breath Of Silence, Quercianella, Livorno, Tuscany, Italy
“The Breath of Silence” was born from the deep air that was felt at the moment of the shot: a deafening silence, an infinite peace, even the sea was silent. The sea becomes an interior space. The long exposure smoothes the water until it transforms into a liquid, still veil, while the concrete pier guides […]
Blue Reflection, Lomagnupur, Ringroad, Iceland
Many times i passed by this point. This was the first time with blue skies and no wind. So the reflection in a small pond from the rain during the night was perfect. I had to walk some steps away from the ring road through muddy grass. It was on the way back to Reykjavik […]
Mist On The Estuary, Courtenay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
On this day, the morning mist rolled into the Courtenay River estuary. Through the mist, I saw the trees protruding into the river as I had not seen before. As it was a calm day, the water was still, which gave a nice reflection. Also, the fall colors of the trees were subdued by the […]
First Light, Tibet Autonomous Region
My best elevation hike before embarking on this trip was to the summits of local hills in the San Francisco Bay Area, which are about 2,000 to 4,000 feet in height. This hike was different—starting from the trailhead at 15,000 feet above sea level, we hiked to a campsite surrounded by mountains located at 17,100 […]
