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, […]
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 […]
Dark Color Hills, Pisco, 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, […]
Cold Desert And Lake Manasarovar, Tibet
Lake Manasarovar in Tibet claims the title of one of the world’s highest freshwater lakes. The surrounding landscape is a high-altitude cold desert environment, with arid plains, rocky outcrops, and sparse vegetation. The harsh conditions contribute to the lake’s pristine and untouched beauty.
Snow Desert Between Seasons, Hadsund, Mariagerfjord, Denmark
I went out with a clear intention. I wanted to capture the very last snow of winter in sunlight and calm weather before it disappeared into mild winds and muddy fields. This does not happen every year in Denmark. Clear skies, deep frost, and still air rarely align at the right moment. That morning, they […]
