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 […]
Waves Of Stone, Livorno, Tuscany, Italy
It seems suspended between the city’s geometry and the horizon of the sea. In this image, I sought to capture precisely this meeting point, allowing the sinuous pattern of the paving—its lines—to guide the eye toward the water. The stone waves in the foreground become a kind of motionless sea, while beyond the quay, the […]
High Altitude Mountain Pass, Ladakh, India
A glacial stream and road meander through a high-altitude pass. The highest navigable mountain pass in Ladakh is at a staggering height of over 18,000 ft.
Salt Piles And Evaporation Ponds, Aveiro, Portugal
A few days ago, under a clear, sunny sky, I was marvelled to see Aveiro salt evaporation ponds—one of the areas along the Portuguese coast where sea salt is still produced. Salt evaporation ponds offer fascinating views for landscape photographers, due to the geometry and regularity of the ponds and the diverse colours they display: […]
Jungle Walk, Pahoa, Hawaii, USA
A cute shot from our coastal walk through the jungle.
Fencing, Paradise, New Zealand
I was exploring Paradise, New Zealand, when the fencing and the road leading to the snow-covered mountains caught my eye. The leading lines were amazing, and I was lucky enough to be in that part of New Zealand in the spring when the snow was still lighting up the tops of the mountains.
Precipitation Shaft, Lofoten Islands, Norway
Photo taken one day in March. They had forecast a sunny day. Well, I got three downpours just like this one. They rolled in over my head in less than 15 minutes; I waited for them to pass because I couldn’t see more than 2 meters in front of me, but it resulted in some […]
Haramiyata Peak, Rila Mountain, Bulgaria
The Seven Rila Lakes are a group of glacial lakes located in northwestern Rila. They are arranged in a stepped pattern between 2,095 and 2,535 meters above sea level and occupy depressions on the mountain slope, with the individual lakes connected by small streams. When water flows through these streams, small springs and waterfalls are […]
Returning Home At Sunset, Taiping Lake, Huangshan, Anhui, China
I captured and merged this shot using auto exposure bracketing (AEB) on my drone at Taiping Lake in Huangshan. Known for its gorgeous views and calm waters, it’s one of my favorite go-to getaway spots. On this summer evening, the setting sun cast a golden glow across the water, creating an incredible play of colors. […]
Denmark Peak, Glacier View, Alaska, USA
Glaciers leave telltale signs on the landscape, just as rivers do. Rivers carry water — runoff from rain, snowmelt, and groundwater — from higher elevations to lower elevations by the force of gravity. Glaciers carry multiyear snow accumulation at mountaintops in the form of ice, also driven by gravity. This movement causes erosion, which leaves […]
