Pudong Skyline, Shanghai, China
This is a mesmerising black-and-white photograph of three icons of contemporary architecture in Shanghai: Shanghai World Financial Centre, Jin Mao Tower, and Shanghai Tower. This photograph captures the power of the urban landscape and the dynamism of the metropolis. It is captured with a dramatic long exposure that blurs the clouds in the background, emphasising […]
A Welsh Jungle Experience, Blaen-y-glyn, Brecon Beacons, Wales
During our holiday in Wales, one of our first walks was in the area of Blaen-y-glyn, where Komoot recommended a nice “round trip” with plenty of opportunities for waterfalls and – obviously – also very old and natural forest areas. This particular place looked like a Jungle, an old forest in the middle of Wales, […]
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, in April, I visit the Illinois Canyon in Starved Rock State Park to admire the beauty of the canyon bluebells. Illinois Canyon is at the top of my list of places that I’ve been to in this awesome world. The blue vibration you get from the beauty of these wildflowers in this Canyon […]
