Sunrise At Factory Butte, Hanksville Utah, USA
I’ve been wanting to explore the Hanksville and surrounding area of Utah for years, and I finally was able to take a short trip there. My first Factory Butte sunrise did not disappoint. I cannot wait to go again and explore more of this amazing area.
Striking Sunrise, PLage de l’Est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph last March at 7:51 a.m. in Montreal, at Plage de l’Est. Montreal is a big city. However, I found many places free of visual distractions that are appropriate for capturing sunrises and sunsets. Before leaving home, I checked the Photographer’s Ephemeris app to confirm that the location was appropriate for capturing […]
Sunrise Over The Mountains, Wadi Sahtan, Oman
I am part of a local astronomy group that regularly goes on weekend trips to dark sites, normally around the new moon period. Here in Oman, there are still a few locations that are remote enough to allow good observation, where light pollution is lower than usual. Last February, the group headed to Wadi Sahtan, […]
Dunlap Creek Lake, Menallen Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, USA

Old Pine In Late Afternoon, Unterseen, Interlaken-Oberhasli, Bern, Switzerland
I marveled as I strolled through a forest park in Unterseen, on a south-facing slope, on a beautiful sunny autumn late afternoon.

Abbazia Sunset, Croatia
The image was taken in Opatija, Croatia. Sunset in Opatija offers a beautiful scene, though different from the classic one. Because the city faces east onto the Kvarner Gulf, the sun doesn’t dip directly into the sea but instead sets behind the Učka massif. Such a view brings so much peace to the soul, and […]
Retone, Marina Di Pisa, Tuscany, Italy
Marina di Pisa is famous for its stilt houses used for fishing. They are better known as “retoni.” They are usually photographed at sunrise or sunset, as in this case. In the background are the Apuan Alps, famous for their marble.
Morning Walk, Morganton, Burke County, NC, USA
I was walking the trails on my property. We had snow for a few days, so it was nice to see the sun peeking through the trees.
Old Birch Tree, Unterseen, Interlaken-Oberhasli, Bern, Switzerland
Well-preserved ancient forests are places of great aesthetic and psychological value. Plants of all sizes and ages coexist, both herbaceous and woody shrubs and trees. Ancient trees, like this birch, are venerable and magical beings that inspire us. Visiting this forest on a south-facing slope in the Unterseen region on a sunny autumn day, I […]
La Geria Sunset, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain
Photo taken on the island of Lanzarote. I was looking for a suitable location that would highlight the unique cultivation of vines at sunset. I took a dirt road and arrived at this spot, overlooking the plantation from above.
