Vifilsfell Subglacial Volcano, Husfellsbruni Lava Field, Iceland
The engine of the rented Toyota Land Cruiser ticked quietly as it cooled in the damp August mist, parked just off the shoulder of a solitary ribbon of asphalt. Before me stretched the Húsfellsbruni lava field, an ancient, violent eruption frozen in time and softened by an endless, rolling blanket of vivid green moss. Low-hanging […]
View Of Khardung La Pass, Ladakh, India
The mountain pass, located on the Ladakh Range, connects the Indus River Valley and the Shyok River Valley. A strategically very important navigable road extends from the city of Leh in the south. The road is one of the world’s highest navigable roads, at 18,000 feet.
The Golden Buddha, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand
While visiting a nearby university in the city of Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand, I saw this golden Buddha on a hill. There was little traffic at the time (a rare occurrence in Thailand), so I was able to take up a position in the center of the road to get this composition.
Old Salt Evaporation Ponds, Aveiro, Portugal
Along the edges of old, disused salt pans, one can see plants typical of saline environments—usually succulents with green and orange hues. A few days ago, under a clear, sunny sky, I was marvelled to see Aveiro salt ponds—one of the areas along the Portuguese coast where sea salt is still produced. Some of the […]
Sunset At Poipu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii, USA

The Last Turn, San Genesio, Alta Badia, Bolzano, Italy
One final turn separates the traveler from the unknown. Above the winding road, the church stands in silence, surrounded by mist, shadow, and fading light.
Tour Des Anglais, Presqu ile de Penerf, Bretagne, France
After a vacation where I hadn’t managed to take many photos, my family and I arrived at the Penfef Peninsula on the final day of our trip, just before starting the journey home. Just as I had given up hope, the Tour des Anglais appeared — not a true lighthouse, but a tower built to […]
Waves Of Stone, Livorno, Tuscany, Italy
It seems suspended between the city’s geometry and the horizon of the sea. In this image, I sought to capture precisely this meeting point, allowing the sinuous pattern of the paving—its lines—to guide the eye toward the water. The stone waves in the foreground become a kind of motionless sea, while beyond the quay, the […]
High Altitude Mountain Pass, Ladakh, India
A glacial stream and road meander through a high-altitude pass. The highest navigable mountain pass in Ladakh is at a staggering height of over 18,000 ft.
Salt Piles And Evaporation Ponds, Aveiro, Portugal
A few days ago, under a clear, sunny sky, I was marvelled to see Aveiro salt evaporation ponds—one of the areas along the Portuguese coast where sea salt is still produced. Salt evaporation ponds offer fascinating views for landscape photographers, due to the geometry and regularity of the ponds and the diverse colours they display: […]
