Mount Kailash North Face, Dirapuk, Tibet
So much has been written about this mountain peak that the material can fill the Library of Congress, figuratively. Not delving into the spiritual aspect of this mountain, it is a massive peak with an elevation of 22,000 feet above sea level, but it is dwarfed by other peaks in the world, such as Mount […]
White River Falls, Tygh Valley, Oregon, USA
It was January 2012. I was scouting waterfall locations to film part of an Isuzu TV commercial. We needed a waterfall that we could jump over in a kayak. White River Falls is one of my favorite locations. If I’m in the area and time permits, I’ll stop by. We ended up filming the project […]
Double Moonbow Over Yosemite Falls, California, USA
In the months of May, June, and July, the full moon is perpendicular to Yosemite Falls. On a clear night, after a short hike from the Lodge parking lot, you get to the viewpoint for the Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls. While fighting the crowds and the moisture from the spray (a lens drying cloth […]
Stillness, Catawba Falls, Old Fort, North Carolina, USA
This image was taken after climbing the Ridge Trail at Catawba Falls, a steep but well-maintained route that offers less crowded access to the base of the upper falls. The trail is more of a fire service road than a traditional trail, with numerous switchbacks and significant vertical gain, but it offers a clear view […]
Mount Kailash, Tibet
Mount Kailash is known as the holiest mountain peak in the world. It is a massive mountain with a peak elevation of 22000 ft, part of the Gangdise mountain range. There is a 30-mile trek around the mountain, which takes two days to complete for most people. The trailhead starts near the west side of […]
Double Rainbow, Hefei, Anhui Province, China
Based on my experience, the dusk after a summer storm is often marked by a beautiful twilight. But one of the disadvantages of living downtown is that it’s hard to see the whole sky because of the tall buildings. So I took out my DJI Air 3s, which allows me to get to a higher […]
Middle McCloud Falls, California, USA
The McCloud River had been on my list for 25 years. I just couldn’t seem to fit it into my schedule, as I am always out in the field teaching in June, the time of year I wanted to visit and photograph the river and falls. However, last summer, things finally fell into place. I […]
Beautiful Ladakh Scene, Near Turtuk, Ladakh, India
Ladakh’s landscape is a breathtaking mosaic of stark beauty and rugged grandeur. Towering mountains, their peaks kissed by snow, stand sentinel over vast, barren valleys that shift hues with the changing light. The wind-carved rock formations and high-altitude desert evoke a sense of timelessness. Every element here speaks of harmony in extremes, where life thrives […]
Rainbow Falls in Watkins Glen State Park, New York, USA
In 2012, my wife and I took a trip through southern Ontario and Quebec, then came home through New York State. Our main target in New York was the Corning Glass Museum, but since we were so close, we also visited Watkins Glen. The town is located on the south end of Seneca Lake, but […]
Mighty Skogafoss, Iceland
Skógafoss – one of Iceland’s most stunning waterfalls – captured in all its glory. A powerful cascade of water plunges 60 meters, creating a mesmerising mist, framed by rugged landscapes. The dramatic sky and the calm water in the foreground add a mystical atmosphere to the scene. This image perfectly conveys the majesty of Icelandic […]
