Northern Lights Over Colorado Springs, Garden Of The Gods Park, CO, USA
This was such a fun and beautiful night. My friend alerted me to the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights here in Colorado, so I headed over to Garden of the Gods Park as it was getting dark. As soon as I arrived, I checked whether my phone camera was picking up the lights. To […]
Raindrops On Cypress Tree, Santa Cruz do Douro, Baiao, Porto, Portugal
Last October, on a grey and rainy day, I marvelled at seeing raindrops falling from the leaves of a cypress tree that stood by the side of the path where I was walking. The water trickled very slowly down the leaves, forming large drops that then fell. The atmosphere was perfectly still. I used a […]
Creation, Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii, USA
I had been quietly watching the subtle changes posted on the United States Geological Survey website; small shifts in tremor, pressure, and glow that hinted that something larger was coming. When the eruption finally announced itself, I packed my gear and headed toward Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, knowing that moments like this are fleeting and […]
Autumn Colours At Fairytale Cottage, Srednji Vrh Village Near Kranjska Gora, Slovenia
I was up here with a one-to-one workshop client one afternoon. The colours were amazing. This location would normally be better shot in the morning, when the light comes from the other direction, because from the right you get the elongated shadow of the house on the grass. However, the broken cloud was not only […]
Upper Hudson River, Northumberland, NY, USA
I was exploring Hudson Crossing Park one afternoon. The park is so named because this location has been used for crossing the Hudson River for millions of years, from early Native Americans to railroad bridges to modern vehicular bridges. There are a couple of lines of concrete piers across this portion of the river, remnants […]
Upside Down Heaven, Auronzo di Cadore, Belluno, Italy
Jagged peaks rise like a fractured cathedral, their stone faces carved by time and silence. Beneath this immense amphitheatre of rock, a solitary refuge rests in the valley, its faint lights a quiet declaration of human presence. The winding path that leads to it feels less like a road and more like a question—about scale, […]
Glorious Beach Sunset, Lavra, Matosinhos, Porto, Portugal
Last October, I went to watch the sunset on a beach near where I live. The sky was perfectly clear, and the sun was setting on the horizon. Just before it disappeared, I captured this image. The tide was high. I used a neutral density filter so I could use a low shutter speed to […]
Man’s Landscape, Hofn, Iceland
Traveling around Iceland involved everything from waterfalls to beaches to a snowy alp reaching the ocean. A stop in Höfn, a coastal but commercial fishing town, had us staying in a micro cabin with about twenty other “cabinees.” It was June, so daylight lasted almost all night, and after dinner, around 9 p.m., I wandered […]
Pima Point Sunset, Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA
We were at the Grand Canyon for two days, touring the South Rim. The canyon is 18 miles wide at its widest point, 277 miles long, and over a mile deep. In the late afternoon of the first day, we took the shuttle bus west to Pima Point. As the sun slowly lowered, the colours […]
Black Peak, Vitosha Mountain, Bulgaria
The so-called (by me) “Sugar House” represents my favourite place on Cherni Vrah (translated as Black Peak), the highest point of Vitosha Mountain, located in close proximity to the capital of Bulgaria, Sofia. The ascent takes approximately two hours from the point where one can leave the car. The temperature that evening (17.01.2026) was close […]
