Trees In The Alley, Linowo, Olsztyn County, Poland
Photography can be read and interpreted, almost like literature. I remember from my school days the hated grammatical analysis of a sentence and its subsequent parts. Photography can be studied similarly, although this study is much more subjective in nature. I will try: “Tree in the alley” – this photograph is an example of conscious […]
The Sentinel of Sierra de Gredos, Avila, Spain
High in Spain’s Sierra de Gredos, where the air is sharp and the scent of chestnut leaves fills the autumn forest, stands a tree that has witnessed five centuries of seasons. The mountains are home to many ancient chestnuts, but on a foggy evening in October 2024, one in particular caught my eye and became […]
The Old River Reservation, Balkan Mountain Range, Bulgaria
The foggy autumn found me in the Balkans – Stara Planina, Bulgaria. I was in the Stara Reka reserve (Old River reservation), known for its unique combination of coniferous, deciduous and mixed forests. The reserve is best known for its plant diversity. It is home to the heat-loving hornbeam, the European hornbeam and the water […]
Moody Morning, Haystack Rock, Cannon Beach, Oregon, USA
This shot captures the iconic Haystack Rock located in Cannon Beach on the Oregon coast, USA. Typically, it is quite challenging to photograph the rock without including people in the frame. However, on this particular Sunday morning, the combination of early hour, dense fog, and light drizzle resulted in an empty beach. This provided a […]
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 […]
Pine Forest In The Mist, Cansiglio Forest, Veneto, Italy
Forest photography has always held a special place in my creative journey. There’s something deeply calming and mysterious about the way light filters through layers of trees, illuminating patches of moss and leaves. Lately, I’ve found myself drawn less to the sweeping, grand landscapes that first captured my attention and more to the quieter, more […]
Hidden Gem, Kortowo, Olsztyn, Northeast Poland
Aerial landscape photography offers unique opportunities. While it may sound cliché, flying a drone allows you to explore many perspectives and capture images from a variety of locations while adhering to the applicable laws and ensuring flight safety. You can hover at heights of up to 120 meters, cover extensive areas, or take quasi-satellite top-down […]

Shiroka Polyana is an artificial lake located in the Rhodope Mountains at an altitude of approximately 1,500 meters, about 30 kilometres south of the town of Batak. The dam is surrounded by coniferous forests, making it a refreshing retreat even during the hottest summer days. Its beautiful location and abundant fish make Shiroka Polyana a […]
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.
