Lake Manasarovar, Burang County, Tibet Autonomous Region
The term “Manas” in Sanskrit means “mind,” while “Sarovar” means “lake,” giving the phrase a loose translation of “lake created by the mind.” This lake is particularly special for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it holds great spiritual significance for nearly a billion people in this region. Secondly, its remoteness and high elevation make it […]
Fall Colors, Carson River Park, Carson City, Nevada, USA
While enjoying a beautiful fall morning, I visited Carson River Park in Carson City, Nevada. It’s a place I always look forward to visiting in the fall. Walking around, I was in awe of how beautiful the trees were with the fall colors. At one point along the trail, I stopped and took a photo […]
Lake Watson And Its Granite Dells, Prescott, Arizona, USA
Lake Watson is kind of a hidden gem located on the outskirts of Prescott, Arizona. Having lived in Arizona for a while, I was aware of its unique beauty, roughly confined to the 70 acres of Watson Lake extending to the Willow Creek Reservoir. The stunning geological formations, called granite dells, were formed over 1.4 […]
Sunrise in Scoresby Sund, Eastern Coast of Greenland
In September 2024, I joined a polar landscape expedition to Scoresby Sund — the world’s most extensive fjord system — in Eastern Greenland. Early on one of the first mornings, we set out by zodiac across glassy waters to a remote inlet at sunrise. Before we even began hiking, we had to stop. Before us […]
Autumn Falls, Borgo Stremiz, Faedis, Udine, Italy
Where water slows and light fades, autumn falls into silence. In a hidden corner of the forest, where water whispers and light fades through the last golden leaves, autumn meets its quiet end. The stream carries away the remnants of a season, while silence slowly takes its place among the trees. In this fleeting stillness, […]
Evening Landscape With The Sea In Crimea
On the southern coast of Crimea, between Vesyoloye Bay and Novy Svet, there is an eco-trail offering many beautiful photo opportunities. I have visited this place ten times over the past three years, and each time I discover something new. This particular visit was challenging due to low water supplies and the intense heat. The […]
Isolated Cottage, Froskeland, Langoya Island, Vesteralen Archipelago, Norway
That morning, I was hitting the road for Nykvåg, a site renowned for its colonies of puffins and guillemots on the island of Langøya in the Vesterålen archipelago, Norway. Far from the mass tourism of the Lofoten Islands, the Vesterålen remain authentic and uncrowded. The sites’ accessibility, heavy rainfall, and extremely changeable weather, even in […]
View From Above, Leh, Ladakh
We were on our way from Leh, a city at an elevation of 10,000 feet, to Pangong Lake at the China border. The mountainous road twists and turns on its way to the lake, which is about 160 kilometres away and sits at an elevation of 15,000 feet, continually gaining altitude. We must have ascended […]
Surreal Moonscape Overlook, Utah, USA
A landscape like something from another planet. Rugged, undulating rock formations stretch to the horizon, creating a remarkable mosaic of cool greys and blues. In the centre of the frame, monumental, flat-topped peaks rise from an eroded plateau. The photo was taken at sunset. The warm, golden light of the last rays of day delicately […]
After The Storm, Yangshuo Valley, Cuipling, China
Cuiping Hill is an amazing spot to capture the beauty of Yangshuo County and its unique countryside. The view from the top of Wuzhi Hill is especially rewarding after a short but challenging hike. Arriving just after a storm is the perfect time to capture this unique landscape.
