Jonsrud Viewpoint Winter Sunrise, Sandy, Clackamas County, Oregon, USA
11,249 ft. Mt. Hood, the tallest peak in Oregon, dominating the greater Portland skyline, has an especially graceful profile from the west. The town of Sandy, about 35 miles east of Portland, has an even better view of the mountain along the bluff north of town. In the winter, temperature inversions often create a layer […]
Mount Agung Sunrise, Kintamani, Bali, Indonesia
After three evening and morning sessions, this was the final result from one of the mornings: the best light with rising ground fog and a few clouds, with the sun just behind the horizon. In Bali, it is always worth getting up very early, at any time of the year, in my experience. Especially in […]
Belvedere Farm Sunrise, Podere Belvedere, Tuscany, Italy
This is the first photo I took at Podere Belvedere. It was in May a few years ago. That photo was the beginning of a series of photos I’m still taking there today.
The Foggy Morning Star, Plage de l’Est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
On a night in October 2025, I consulted my weather application to ascertain the expected conditions for sunrise the following day. Probable forecasts indicated sunny weather and freezing temperatures. In September, using the Photographers Ephemeris App, I determined that the’ Plage de l’Est” location was an ideal vantage point for capturing the sunrise. Please refer […]
Mysterious Waters Misty Sunrise, Apalachicola NF, Florida, USA
Winter in the forests of North Florida’s Deep South is often quite lush due to the predominance of evergreen vegetation. Morning low temperatures are sometimes just above freezing and quickly warm with the rising sun. Here, on this December morning, a soft mist developed as the surrounding swamp began to warm, lending a bit of […]
Ora Station, Akitio, New Zealand
Spending time on my friend’s generational farm allows me to explore freely. Waking up to scenes like this is such a treat. The morning mist highlights the layers of the mountains, revealing the farm’s terrain in a new light. The dense bush here is home to a wide variety of deer and other wildlife, providing […]
Lands of Siena, Podere Belvedere, Tuscany, Italy
Here’s another photo from Val d’Orcia. This time, it’s autumn, and I was capturing images at the most famous spot in the world. Although the sunrise wasn’t particularly striking, I shifted my focus to the horizon. The warm light of dawn and a thin layer of fog created the perfect atmosphere for this image.
Autumn Blankets, Lake Lure, Rutherford County, NC, USA
While trekking around the lake, the colors, fog, and weather can change rapidly, often before you even have a chance to set up your camera. This morning, I was eager to capture the beauty of the fog enveloping the landscape. I set up my tripod and began to look through the camera’s eyepiece. It felt […]
Dawn From Rifugio Averau, Dolomites, Italy
Getting up before dawn at Rifugio Averau during our Alta Via 1 trek, I was rewarded by this fantastic view of Cinque Torri below us with mist in the valley.
Cinque Torri And Toscana At Dawn, Rifugio Averau, Dolomites, Italy
The mist was rising and sinking over Cinque Torri underneath Rifugio Averau in the pre-dawn light during our recent trek through the Dolomites. I’m not normally a sunrise shooter, but we were getting to bed early, and I was awake before sunrise and managed to catch this image.
