The Glacial Thread Of Skogafoss, Iceland
The raw, undulating topography of southern Iceland is anchored by the roaring power of the falls. The meandering, slate-grey river transforms into a sweeping visual anchor, carving a striking diagonal leading line that draws the viewer’s eye seamlessly from the lower right foreground directly into the heart of the cascading water. The geometric precision of […]
Through the Tea-Covered Hills, Munnar Tea Garden, India
The rolling, tea-covered hills of the Western Ghats, scattered trees, and winding roads form the distinctive landscape of Munnar, Southern India. In the landscape around Gap Road, tea gardens occupy much of the mountain slopes, extending from the foreground to the distant hills. The winding road cuts through these plantations, following the natural shape of […]
Black Water Stream, Schwarzwasser, Riezlern, Kleinwalsertal, Austria
Every time I visit this beautiful valley in Austria, I revisit this place. There was less water in the stream than in previous years, and because of that, awesome structures were visible. It was a great morning down at the stream.
Sunrise Over Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, Iceland
One of the most wonderful mornings on our recent Iceland tour was spent watching the sun rise over Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. This famous glacial lake in southeast Iceland is filled with massive floating icebergs that calve from Vatnajökull—the largest and most voluminous ice cap in Iceland and the whole of Europe. Both the formations and […]
Vifilsfell Subglacial Volcano, Husfellsbruni Lava Field, Iceland
The engine of the rented Toyota Land Cruiser ticked quietly as it cooled in the damp August mist, parked just off the shoulder of a solitary ribbon of asphalt. Before me stretched the Húsfellsbruni lava field, an ancient, violent eruption frozen in time and softened by an endless, rolling blanket of vivid green moss. Low-hanging […]
View Of Khardung La Pass, Ladakh, India
The mountain pass, located on the Ladakh Range, connects the Indus River Valley and the Shyok River Valley. A strategically very important navigable road extends from the city of Leh in the south. The road is one of the world’s highest navigable roads, at 18,000 feet.
Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Death Valley National Park, California, USA
Taking advantage of my son’s spring break in early April, I organized a family trip to Death Valley National Park—a landscape I hadn’t visited in nearly two decades, back before photography became a serious passion of mine. True to its reputation, Death Valley was already showing off its summer heat despite it being spring, with […]
Sanibel Island Lighthouse, Lee County, Florida, USA
Hurricane Ian devastated southwest Florida in the fall of 2022. Sanibel Island had a storm surge of 12-15 feet that severely damaged many structures. The historic Sanibel Lighthouse lost one of its four legs. All of the surrounding buildings and vegetation around the base of the lighthouse were washed out to sea. I’ve lived nearby […]
Old Salt Evaporation Ponds, Aveiro, Portugal
Along the edges of old, disused salt pans, one can see plants typical of saline environments—usually succulents with green and orange hues. A few days ago, under a clear, sunny sky, I was marvelled to see Aveiro salt ponds—one of the areas along the Portuguese coast where sea salt is still produced. Some of the […]
