Echoes Of A Tuscan Morning, Pienza, Tuscany, Italy
A morning glimpse of Val d’Orcia from the ancient walls of Pienza—a hilltop town that embodies the quiet charm of Tuscany. Just after sunrise, soft light spills across the rolling hills as drifting clouds glide over cypress-lined roads and scattered farmhouses, some centuries old, others added in later years—gently revealing themselves through the delicate glow.
Poplar Forest, Bertiandos, Ponte de Lima, Viana do Castelo, Portugal
Young poplar forests are among the most striking locations for a landscape photographer. They offer unique perspectives—whether in summer, with the trees in full leaf, or in winter, when the trees stand bare. A few days ago, on a clear, sunny day, I was captivated by a small forest of poplars planted, some years ago, […]
Curves, Collagna, Reggio Emilia, Emilia Romagna, Italy
Autumn is one of the times of year when I most enjoy observing the landscape from above. In the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine National Park, the forest seemed to have transformed into a vast natural palette, filled with yellows, oranges, reds, and the last remaining shades of green. I launched my drone, looking for a composition that […]
Cold And Warm, Selfoss, Iceland
On every photographic journey to Iceland, I try to take a few flights in a Piper aircraft, searching for remote landscapes and unusual perspectives that would be difficult to discover—even with a drone. Flying over this extraordinary land reveals hidden patterns, colors, and details that remain invisible from the ground. This photograph captures a fascinating […]
August 12th Solar Eclipse, Penafiel, Porto, Portugal
I was marveling at and amazed to see the (almost total) eclipse on 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 […]
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.
