A Haven Before The Rain, Cascade, Idaho, USA
As storm clouds began to move across the valley, this small birdhouse attached to an old fence post caught my attention. Surrounded by open grassland, sagebrush, and a line of weathered fence posts stretching into the distance, it stood out as a simple reminder of the wildlife that shares these rural landscapes. What drew me […]
Northern Lights, Skagsanden Beach, Lofoten Islands, Norway
We spent several nights in Lofoten, Norway, hoping for the northern lights. We were not disappointed to find them over the beach and stunning mountains. The water and beach draw your eye to the scene.
Sun Star And Wizard’s Hat, Face Rock Beach, Bandon, Oregon, USA
I almost missed this shot. It looked like a shutdown during an overcast sunset. There was no color in the sky with only minutes until official sunset, and I had given up and gone to sit on a log and just take in the scenery. I left my camera on the tripod ready to go, […]
Amazing Field Lines, St Gery Midi Pyremees, France
In September 2017, we embarked on the first leg (425 km) of the Chemin de St-Jacques-de-Compostelle in France. For such an endeavor, minimizing luggage weight is paramount, so I limited my photography equipment to one camera, two lenses, and several memory cards. In 35mm terms, I carried a 24-200mm F4 lens and a 50mm F1.4. […]

Bluebonnets Railroad Tracks, Near Marble Falls, Burnet County, Texas, USA
Waited for the bluebonnets to bloom in Texas and hiked the railroad tracks to the train trestle at sunset. The skies were hazy until just before sunset, when everything lit up perfectly!
Approaching Storm, Wahiba Sands, Oman
In the late winter of 2024, I made a weekend trip to the Wahiba Sands desert of Oman. This is a popular destination, both with Omanis and tourists, but it is still possible to drive for many kilometers without seeing anyone, provided you deviate a little bit from the beaten track. Since I was with […]
Icelandic Atmospherics, Kerlingardalsvegur, South Iceland
We stopped to photograph the bleak Icelandic landscape, enhanced by the prevailing rainy weather conditions and rising mist. I wandered off a little to look for some interesting foreground and found this patch of Icelandic moss. I used a Lee Hard Grad filter to enhance the brooding sky. A little shading (brightening) of the moss […]
Road to St Bathans, Maniototo, South Island, New Zealand
The Maniototo is a huge, elevated inland plain in the Central Otago region, on the South Island of New Zealand. Surrounded by mountain ranges, it is characterized by its vast open landscapes, rock formations, and wide horizons, giving it its ‘big sky country’ nickname. It is a lesser-visited part of the country and, as such, […]

While in the area, we decided to make a quick stop at the Venice Beach Fishing Pier to take some daytime pictures under the pier.
