Magic Sunset, Riiviere des Pairiex, Montreal , Quebec, Canada

I took this photograph on September 28, 2025, at 18:27. The result reflects two fundamental elements of photography: careful planning and familiarity with one’s gear. As mentioned in a previous publication, I used The Photographer’s Ephemeris to identify local sunset and sunrise locations that I could reach in less than twenty minutes. The weather forecast […]

Amongst The Clouds, Giau Pass, Dolomites, Italy

It was cloudy all morning. Then, all of a sudden, a brief shaft of light struck the Dolomites for a few seconds, and the landscape changed rapidly, revealing the full beauty of those mountains.

Ice Pile At Dusk, Lake Superior, Minnesota, USA

Ice Pile At Dusk, Lake Superior, Minnesota, USA

A calm, subtle, uncontrollable force is displayed along Lake Superior—the sounds of ice being piled up along the shoreline. I spent a few days trying to capture this raw natural beauty, and this particular evening had to be the best day to capture its beauty. When I came upon this particular area, I was blown […]

Reeds And Curved Stream In Colour, Lake Skadar, Montenegro

This is the colored version of the already published B&W Reeds and Curved Stream, Lake Skadar, Montenegro shot. Why two versions?

Evening Fog, Mount Menzies, Campbell River, Vancouver Island, Canada

Evening Fog, Mount Menzies, Campbell River, Vancouver Island, Canada

I often visit Mount Menzies’ old forest fire lookout. From this location, you can view the lake country spreading out 3,000 feet below. I have many images of this view. On this day, as I was driving down the mountain, I saw how the evening fog was drifting through the trees. I liked the composition […]
