Looking Towards Cuillin Hills From Tokavaig, Isle of Skye, Scotland
When we arrived on the beach, thick clouds were rolling in from the southwest, obscuring the tops of the mountains. Patience was rewarded as the clouds continued on their journey towards the mainland, leaving a calmness and wonderful light over the water and mountains. The unseasonal snowfall in November added to the scene. In the […]
Hole in the Sky, Lost Dutchman State Park, Apache Junction, Maricopa, Arizona, USA
While celebrating the arrival of the monsoon season here in Arizona, I realized at some point along the way that I had become fully vulnerable to the power of the storm. It was while dodging the ever-increasing drops of rain, trying to keep my lens free of moisture, that I suddenly found myself engulfed in […]
The Bunderitsa Peak Spring Wildflowers, Pirin Mountain, Bulgaria
This is another example of my favourite type of landscape. It has three different plans: a foreground (usually some kind of wild flowers), a middle plane (a lake providing reflections), and a background (usually some steep mountain peak). Again, it requires some meteorological research—the period during which wild crocuses appear (usually they follow the melting […]
High Falls Waterfall, Grand Portage State Park, Minnesota, USA
On an August weekend in the later parts of the summer season, I decided to take my mother and younger brother on a cruise up the Minnesota North Shore on Highway 61 from Duluth to the Canadian border. The last stop was Grand Portage State Park, where we hiked to the High Falls waterfall. The […]
Under A Moody Weather Waterfall, Skutafoss, Iceland
For some reason, I have developed a niche in landscape photography, particularly capturing landscapes from inside caves. This photo was taken in Iceland as we travelled south and east toward Vestrahorn/Stokknes, featuring a waterfall called Skutafoss. The shot was spontaneous and not part of my planned list, which is quite rare for me. The morning […]
Afternoon Sun, Laekjavik Beach, Iceland
On a first visit to Iceland, adapting to conditions that are challenging both physically and photographically is itself a challenge. The plan to reach Laekjavik Cliffs on a February afternoon was to climb up onto the headland, but the wind was too strong: climbing down onto the beach to shoot into the sun, which was […]
Bavarian Landscape, Anger, Germany
Anger is a lovely German town located in Bavaria. This area is known for its natural beauty, green meadow landscapes, and typical buildings. I saw Anger while passing through Austria to return to Italy, and I immediately photographed its beauty with my Nikon D90 and 18-105 mm lens. In the Berchtesgadener Land district, it is […]
Doolittle Creek Road, Big Hole Valley, Wisdom, Montana, USA
It’s springtime in the Big Hole Valley, Montana, 9 miles north of Wisdom, up Doolittle Creek Road. Spring usually makes its showing around the first of July, due to its 6,100 ft elevation as it is here. It’s early morning after a rain shower the previous day, which has delivered its promised ground fog and […]
Dawn Over Tuscany, Orciano Pisano, Pisa, Italy
I woke up early, knowing my destination: Via delle Mandriacce, Orciano Pisano, Pisa, Italy. It was five in the morning, and I stopped at one of the few bars open at that hour. The smell of coffee mingled with the murmurs of hunters. I was the only one not going hunting, but over time, we […]
Five Bar Gate, Hatch Park, Ashford, Kent, England
I decided to walk through Hatch Park, a 71.8-hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Ashford in Kent. Historic England has listed it on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England. The weather was a typical English October day: grey, damp, and a little chilly. I do […]
