Sunset At Poipu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii, USA
I had been to this beach many times before, but on this particular evening, I was treated to one of the most beautiful sunsets I had ever seen there. Though I was the only one there with a tripod, many others were capturing the moment with their phones. I was barefoot in the surf and […]
Holandsmellen, Lofoten Islands, Norway
His photo was taken on a hill in the Lofoten Islands in December 2021, around noon. It was an incredibly cold day, but the wind was the real challenge. The gusts were so strong that my tripod simply wouldn’t stay upright in the snow. I was standing on top of low shrubs, which made things […]
Pathway To Cattle Point Lighthouse, San Juan Island, Washington, USA
While spending two weeks in the Pacific Northwest caring for my 93-year-old mother in Oregon, I took my wife on a three-day weekend getaway for her birthday. We drove six hours to northern Washington and then took the ferry to San Juan Island, just across the water from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. One morning after […]
Playa De La Arnia, Asturias, Spain
The leading lines in this photo were created following the collision of the African and European continents, causing sedimentary rocks to fold nearly vertically. The rocks bear witness to events over timescales that are hard to comprehend. I was lucky to arrive when the tide was out and the area was accessible. The tide came […]
Against The Tide, Salt Creek Recreational Area, Olympic Peninsula, Washington, USA
On my first visit to this location on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, I was immediately drawn to the small, tree-covered island. I spent time scouting the shoreline earlier in the day, searching for a viewpoint that would reveal both the character of the landscape and, most importantly, the movement of the sea. I returned later in […]
Rural Meets Urban, KLCC Park, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Staying in Kuala Lumpur, I visited the KLCC Park, a rural oasis in the city center. During my exploration, I came across this water feature with stepping stones curving in toward a distant fountain.
Moonlight Night, Chon-Ashuu Pass, Issyk-Kul Region, Kyrgyzstan
At the end of March, I suddenly had some free time and wanted an adventure with a friend in Kyrgyzstan. I wanted a taste of spring in the Tien Shan Mountains—early flowers and sunshine. Instead, after driving 400 kilometers alone for seven hours over difficult snowy roads, I found myself at Chon-Ashuu Pass, almost 3,800 […]
The Last Turn, San Genesio, Alta Badia, Bolzano, Italy
One final turn separates the traveler from the unknown. Above the winding road, the church stands in silence, surrounded by mist, shadow, and fading light.
Tour Des Anglais, Presqu ile de Penerf, Bretagne, France
After a vacation where I hadn’t managed to take many photos, my family and I arrived at the Penfef Peninsula on the final day of our trip, just before starting the journey home. Just as I had given up hope, the Tour des Anglais appeared — not a true lighthouse, but a tower built to […]
The Old Dock, Kirkland, WA, USA
I was struck by the “dock to nowhere” feeling of this structure, when of course, all docks lead to water at their end. But something so unprepossessing about this one caught me—it is on a very nice lake in a wealthy suburb outside Seattle, jetting out from a lovely park, but it’s old, crooked, and […]
