Black Sand And Waves, Vestrahorn, Iceland
I had been to Vestrahorn in southeast Iceland once before, but only in the pitch dark in the middle of the night. We were there hoping to see the Aurora Borealis, but unfortunately, the aurora wasn’t on our schedule. We caught only the faintest hint of the color, and our cameras were not able to […]
Highway Winding Through The Mountains, Kargil District, National Highway 1, India
“Feel the Curves; Don’t Hug them.” This is what the traffic safety sign next to the highway says (lower right corner). The highway makes a sharp turn to the left around the switchback. The 434 km long Srinagar-Leh Highway (NH1) is the lifeline connecting Leh in Ladakh to the rest of India via the Kashmir […]
12 August 2026 Solar Eclipse, Penafiel, Porto, Portugal
I was awed and amazed to see the (almost total) eclipse of August 12th. Near where I live, in Penafiel, it reached 96% coverage of the sun’s disc. I photographed the eclipse from beginning to end using an ND 1,000,000 filter. To obtain composite images, before the eclipse, I photographed the places where the sun […]
Vestrahorn, Stokksnes Peninsula, Iceland
It was a surreal moment with the dramatic sky and perfect lighting for Vestrahorn on the Stokksnes Peninsula of Iceland (one of the most beautiful mountains I have ever seen). The waterline along the black sand beach drew my eye to the incredible mountain.

Rapeseed Fields Near Pittulie Castle, Scotland
Saw this beautiful scene along the way to Pittulie Castle and stopped really quickly for a quick snap on the way back from the castle.
Reaching For The Sky, Juniper Woods, Jebel Akhdar, Oman
This photo was taken during a camping trip to the Juniper Woods, in the Jebel Akhdar mountains of Oman. This area is a high-altitude plateau, situated about 2,200 m above sea level. As such, it sees a bit more average rainfall than the rest of the country, which in turn supports a higher-than-normal density of […]
Mountain Stream Flowing Through Ravine, Uttarakhand, India
The state is very mountainous, and one can spot a scene like this at almost every switchback on the road, especially in a rainy season. This spot appealed to me because of the beautiful rock formation in the foreground and the misty background.
Dancing Light Patterns, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA
The underwater reflection near the shallow shores of Lake Tahoe had an element of abstractness to it. The visual patterns over the submerged rocks can be imagined to be either ancient cave art, hieroglyphics, or whatever suits your fancy. It was simply exhilarating to watch the light dance over the rocks.
Dancing Light, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA
The light was a bit harsh to take any reasonable landscape picture at the time we arrived at the lake. However, the underwater reflection near the shores had an element of abstractness to it. This prompted me to take a couple of snaps.
