Striking Sunrise, Plage de l’Est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on August 14, 2026, at 6:21 AM, in Montreal, at Plage de l’Est. Montreal is a big city. However, I found many places free of visual distractions that are appropriate for capturing sunrises and sunsets. Before leaving home, I checked The Photographer’s Ephemeris app to confirm whether the location was suitable […]
The Aniene River Factories, East Side Suburbs, Rome, Italy
For some time, I have been working on a small project concerning Rome’s two rivers—the Tiber and the Aniene—which recently took concrete form in a workshop I am wrapping up with a local photography group where I both collaborate and learn. This photo was originally intended for that project, but due to certain editing choices, […]
White Sands Sunset, White Sands National Park, New Mexico, USA
This is one of my unique personal renditions of White Sands.
Sunset Behind European Hackberry, Penafiel, Porto, Portugal
After seeing and photographing yesterday’s (near-total) solar eclipse, I admired a magnificent sunset behind a European hackberry tree, laden with black drupes fluttering in the warm breeze. The images were taken as the sun, like a gigantic, brilliant ball of fire, touched the horizon. With the camera mounted on a tripod and a very small […]
First Light Over Mt Langbo Kangri, Tibet Nepal Border
Langbo Kangri is a mountain peak (21,811 ft) in the Himalayas on the border of Nepal and Tibet. Some sub-peaks to the left had already turned deep red from the first light. The picture was taken from the window of the lodge we stayed in. We were heading back to Nepal from our trip to […]
The Collatina Road Pond, East Side Suburbs, Rome, Italy
Along Rome’s GRA—the ring road encircling the capital—there are many spots that Romans rush past while traveling from one part of the city to another, never pausing and often unaware of their very existence. Such is the case with the small lake along Via Collatina, a natural pool of water situated just a few dozen […]
Frost And Fire, Telluride, San Miguel County, CO, USA
This image was captured at sunset between the crests of Sunshine and Wilson Peaks in the San Juan Mountains. Dusk arrives as a sky combusting in orange and crimson above slopes that hold their blue. The mountains form a gate, and through it the color pours like something escaping—as if the day has been slit […]
The Sant Alessandro Canals, Rome, Italy
On the eastern outskirts of the Italian capital, nestled between long-abandoned factories and new residential neighborhoods, lie hidden fragments of the Roman countryside dating back to the 19th century. That era saw an attempt—following the unification of Italy—to reclaim land in the Aniene area near Rome and improve its irrigation system. The experiment was short-lived; […]
Sunset At White Sands National Park, New Mexico, USA
“I have made several photo trips to White Sands without much luck in getting good sunrises and sunsets. Finally, my patience paid off.”
Venus Shining After Sunset, Lavra, Matosinhos, Porto, Portugal
On the west coast of Portugal, the sun always sets over the Atlantic Ocean. Walking along the beach near where I live a few days ago, I witnessed a magnificent sunset. As it grew dark, I was marvelled to see the planet Venus above the horizon. In an hour, Venus will “descend” in the sky […]
