Ross Errilly Friary, Headford, County Galway, Ireland
The photo shows Ross Errilly Friary in Ireland, one of the best-preserved medieval Franciscan monastic sites in the country. The ruins rise majestically from a green meadow, and a dramatic sky spreads over them in warm sunset hues that fade to cooler purple-blue hues. The stone walls and distinctive tower of the friary emphasise the […]
Towards Vik From Dyrholaey Cliffs, Iceland
On a windy February afternoon, it was a struggle to protect the camera on its tripod as the wind gusted from the southwest. Having climbed up to the clifftop, it seemed prudent to stay in that area, shooting towards the east rather than exploring the southwest side. The clouds were heavy at the beginning of […]
Tahquamenon Falls At Sunset, Tahquamenon Falls State Park, Michigan, USA
I ventured to many areas in one day and ended the day by making my last run to Tahquamenon Falls. As I parked my car, I made haste to the waterfalls, wondering where it was, and soon after, I heard it from a distance. Following the much-needed directional signs, I got closer to the sounds, […]
Portrait Of An Old Tree, Falkenhagener Lake, Falkensee, Germany
During a visit to my father, who lives near Berlin, I took an extensive stroll around the Falkenhagener lake, which is located near the town of Falkensee, west of Berlin. The lake has some interesting shoreline to offer, and a little bit away from that shoreline, quite old trees can be found. This area has […]
Rhododendrons In Flower, Madonna di Campiglio Area, Trento, Italy
This photograph perfectly encapsulates my approach to landscape photography, a no-nonsense pursuit of authenticity, free from gimmicks and driven by a deep connection to a particular location. Captured in the lesser-known reaches of the eastern Dolomites, it reflects my growing desire to move away from iconic, over-photographed locations and instead celebrate areas of outstanding beauty […]
Bookcliffs Full Moon Rising, Green River, Emery, Utah, USA
We were returning from a short trip to Moab, Utah, USA, and beautiful winter snow squalls were blowing by and over the Book Cliffs area. I enjoyed taking a number of different shots and thought I was done until I looked out my window again and saw the full moon, which had previously been hidden […]
Underground Wonder Fall, Gljufrabui, South Iceland
I must confess that I have always had claustrophobia and a fear of darkness. To capture a proper image of the fall in Gljufrabui, one must be comfortable in these conditions. I found myself standing in ice water, enveloped in a thick frozen mist, while trying to get close enough to balance the difficult lighting […]
Illinois Canyon Bluebells, Starved Rock Park, Utica, IL, USA
Every year, I visit the Illinois Canyon in April to admire the beauty of the canyon bluebells. This is at the top of my list for places that I’ve been to in the awesome world. The blue vibration of the beauty of the bluebells in this Canyon so inspired me, I wrote this: Once upon […]
Ganoga Falls In Autumn, Ricketts Glen State Park, Pennsylvania, USA
Ricketts Glen State Park in northeastern Pennsylvania features more than 20 waterfalls along hiking trails. The waterfalls attract many visitors to the park, especially during the fall foliage season. I have hiked to the falls many times in all four seasons. During autumn, I try to photograph waterfalls earlier on a cloudy morning when fog […]
Majestic Peaks, Aiguilles d’Arves, Maurienne, France
I am always in awe of the mountains, but I feel small and insignificant beside these majestic giants of ice and rock. The north face of the Aiguilles d’Arves — 3,500 m (11,483 ft) — rises above the Maurienne Valley, nestled in the heart of the French Alps. This valley, shaped by time and glaciers, […]
