Lauterbrunnen Valley (Bern, Switzerland), located at the foot of the Bernese Alps, is a magical place.

Lake Brienz Turquoise blue Waters, Interlaken Oberhasli, Bern, Switzerland

Lake Brienz, located at the foot of the Brienzer Rothorn mountain (2,350 meters high) in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland, marvels us with its turquoise-blue waters, which form a mirror-like reflection when the weather is calm and windless. Although the lake reaches a depth of over 200 meters, the water is shallower at the […]

Quiet Pastel Light, Dune du Pilat, Archachon Bay, France

This photograph was taken during a quiet November sunrise from the shores of Cap Ferret, at a moment when the world still felt half-asleep. I arrived long before the first glow touched the horizon, giving myself time to settle into the stillness and plan the shot I had envisioned. The basin was calm, but not […]

Rocks In A mountain Pond, Mt Washington, Courtenay, BC, Canada

Mt. Washington on Vancouver Island is well known as a ski resort in the wintertime. However, I much enjoy exploring all the logging and maintenance roads that wrap around the mountain.

Tis The Season, Courtenay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

I have visited this old barn many times. On this autumn day, I returned, hoping to find some fall colors. I was not disappointed. The bright red ivy covering the front of the barn and the fall colors in the surrounding trees were just what I was hoping for. The scarecrow and the pumpkins out […]
