Moody Kirkjufell, Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Iceland
Although the photo was taken in spring, the Icelandic weather surprised us with snowfall, creating an unusual and contrasting scene. Kirkjufell Mountain and Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall are lightly dusted with white fluff, and the cool colours of the landscape emphasise the raw beauty of the island. A thick snow cloud hangs over the peak, from which […]
Over and Above, San Francisco, CA, USA
Jets are amazing at transporting us from one place to another. We board, entering the cocoon. We disembark into a new environment. In the cocoon, we read, sleep, drink, eat, listen to music, and watch a video. I like to look outside. You will see things you never dreamed of. While it’s hard to get […]
Breath of Altitude, Mountain Corchia, Passo Croce, Stazzema, Italy
Today I chose Passo Croce. It’s not the ideal day: the forecast says increasing clouds, unstable light, and wind sweeping the ridges. But I’m not looking for perfect skies. I’ve learned that it’s often in uncertainty that something true reveals itself. I pack my backpack, set the destination, and leave. Over an hour of driving, […]
The Morning Canvas, Xilxes, Castellon, Valencia, Spain
It was early autumn, 2024, and I found myself once again standing on the familiar, dark sand of one of my favourite stretches of the Mediterranean coast. I had arrived well before blue hour, the air still holding the faint chill of night, my boots crunching softly on the beach rocks and sand as I […]
Los Cuernos del Paine, Torres del Paine National Park, Chile
In April 2018, my wife and I embarked on a two-week, professionally led photo tour of Patagonia. The route started in south central Chile, passed into Argentina, and ended back in Chile at Torres del Paine National Park. The first two days looked good, but then it turned rainy. We lost several days of shooting […]
Morning at Moonscape Overlook, Hanksville, Utah, USA
A few years ago, I went on a photography workshop in Capital Reef National Park in Utah. It lasted six days and five nights, with the middle three spent camping. Our second camp was at the clifftop of Moonscape Overlook. The evening was largely spent around Factory Butte. We had a fire that night and […]
Chapman’s Pool Bay, Worth Matravers, Dorset, England
Chapman’s Pool was a lucky discovery. We were in our second week in Dorset and had changed houses to Worth Matravers, which gave us a wet and cold welcome. Lots of rain and a chilly breeze from the sea left us starting the log burner in the house in mid-July. Late afternoon, the weather improved, […]
Teton Fall Haze, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA
When visiting Grand Teton National Park last fall, I encountered some challenging conditions related to wildfires in the area. On many shoots, it was impossible to see the mountain peaks in the background due to the smoke. However, at times, it made for some captivating atmospheric shots among the beautiful fall colors. In this image, […]
The Blue Lake Wildflowers, Rila Mountain, Bulgaria
Another example of my favourite types of landscapes is one that includes a foreground (usually wildflowers), a lake with reflections, and a background—a steep mountain peak. The Blue Lake is located 2412 meters above sea level and has difficult access. With its 37-hectare area, it is the largest lake within the Karaomerichki group, which consists […]
Hayes Creek Falls, Redstone, Colorado, Pitkin, USA
Hayes Creek Falls, also listed as Hays Creek Falls, is a series of waterfalls along Hayes Creek that flow into the Crystal River. This is a short dirt path off of Highway 133 near Redstone, CO. The waterfalls are right off Highway 133 and a short walk from the road. There is a sign for […]
