Ponta do Buraco, Madeira, Spain
This photograph was taken early in the morning, just as the first light began to stretch across the coastline of Madeira. I was staying nearby, and this view — with its quiet elegance and soft colours — kept calling to me. That morning, the conditions were perfect: overcast skies with just enough movement to create […]
In The Twilight, Pantai Watu Parunu, Sumba, Indonesia
Watu Parunu Beach is a beautiful and relatively unspoilt beach on the island of Sumba in Indonesia. Hopefully, it will stay that way, far away from all the Instagrammers and other look-at-me locations. The great thing is that you can discover for yourself where it is still relatively quiet and where you can find beautiful […]
Glen Sligachan Waterfall, Isle of Skye, Scotland
A couple of years ago, I organized a photo trip with friends to the beautiful Scottish Highlands. We spent one week in the Glencoe region and a second on the Isle of Skye. The Highlands are truly a photographer’s paradise. To plan the trip, I relied mainly on the Landscape Photographer’s Guide for both regions, […]
Pudong District Skyscrapers, Shanghai, China
This black-and-white photograph captures the harmonious juxtaposition of the stark geometry of urban architecture with the soft, fluid movement of clouds. Thanks to the long exposure, the sky takes on a painterly form, creating a tranquil backdrop for the static, vertical lines of the city. The delicately illuminated greenery in the foreground introduces a subtle […]
Baker Creek, Haast, West Coast, New Zealand
Very rarely do I see someone else’s images and say I want that photo. This was one of only two locations I have had such an intense desire to photograph. A bucket list photo for me, and I finally got the opportunity to get it today. Still, it wasn’t without hazards, drama, more time than […]
Winter Rapids at Sunrise, Bond Falls, Michigan, USA
The winter season is hard to beat for photogenic opportunities, and it is certainly one of my favorite times to photograph. I live in the upper Midwest in the United States, and I always try to schedule at least one photo trip in Wisconsin, Michigan or Minnesota each winter. The exact timing of my trip […]
Between The Tides, Pantai Kareng Bokor, Sawarna, Java Indonesia
Sawarna is a lesser-known place on Java. It is off the beaten track. It had been on my wish list for some time. We visited this place early in the morning. Currently, it is very difficult to access this stretch of beach, partly because it is private land and tourists are not allowed to visit […]
The Ice Fall, Varovitetz Waterfall, Etropolski Monastery, Etropole, Bulgaria
The Varovitetz Waterfall is located beneath a monastery near Etropole, Bulgaria, deep in the mountains. It looks especially beautiful in the spring and summer. There is a small area in front of the waterfall where visitors can stand. When I visited in the summer a few years ago, I almost got wet while taking photos […]
Tim’s Bridge, Wellfleet, Barnstable County, MA, USA
An early morning walk across Tim’s Bridge in Wellfleet is a classic Cape Cod experience. This photo was taken when the fog was still lingering, and the flora had an incredibly fine and delicate look. Even with all the trappings of modernity, the Cape retains its elemental quality as soon as you venture off the […]
Mill Pond in Winter, Oak Creek, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, USA
Located in a local park, the calm, placid Mill Pond is beautiful at any time of year, but it becomes particularly stunning in winter when the water flowing over the dam freezes into ice. The waterfall flows heavily after spring and summer rains, but slows down in the winter, becoming a gentle flow of water […]
