Lonely Pine, Blaisvatnet, Lyngen, Norway
There are many hiking routes in the Lyngen region in northern Norway. One of them leads to the intensely blue-coloured lake Blåisvatnet, which forms a striking contrast with the mountains in the background. The trail is challenging due to a couple of kilometres of rocky terrain. Sturdy shoes are necessary, and it is also important […]
Victoria Falls Passage, Zambia
This picture was the result of a day-long trek through the Victoria Falls area. After being drenched by rain and spray from the falls, we crossed over to the Zambian side, where I saw this bridge over the water, surrounded by rising vapour and mist. I knew immediately that this was the exact shot I […]
Olive Tree Swayed In The Wind, Alcanena, Santarem, Portugal
Last October, on a clear but very windy day, I was delighted to see the branches of my centuries-old olive tree swaying in the wind, while the enormous trunk remained perfectly still. How could I capture the essence of the scene? I used a neutral density filter and an eight-second exposure, and obtained this result. […]
Tadrart Rouge Sunrise, Tadrart Desert, Near Djanet, Algeria
When first light hits this part of the Tadrart Desert in the south-east of Algeria, near the town of Djanet, the salmon-coloured sand turns even redder, hence its name, Tadrart Rouge. This was part of a 10-day photo tour in the Sahara Desert, in the deep south of Algeria.
Blue Mounds, Mount Washington, New Hampshire, USA
I was staying at the Mount Washington Hotel for a few days. The days were mostly cloudy and rainy, so I did not pay much attention to these hills. Then one day the clouds went away, and I enjoyed the scene while walking by it a few times. But it was not until late afternoon […]
Phoenix Buttress Winter Morning, Smith Rock State Park, Oregon, USA
This vista, photographed from the top of Misery Ridge in Smith Rock State Park, Central Oregon, USA, holds so much variety and intrigue, and presented itself beautifully to me on a cold morning in early February 2025. Perched high above the Crooked River below, I had strapped on my mini-spikes and climbed the 1,000-foot trail […]
Mammatus At Badlands, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota, USA
One of the most amazing thunderstorms I have witnessed in Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota. I followed the storm: first lightning, then double rainbows, and finally surreal mammatus clouds over a badlands formation, coinciding with the sunset on this July evening.
Autumn Sunset, Julian Alps, Lake Jasna, Kranjska Gora, Slovenia
This day had to be one of the best sunsets I have ever seen at Lake Jasna. Even more amazing was the moon rising over Mount Razor. A stunning autumn evening. This view looks directly south, so achieving a colourful sunset is not easy. You need just the right amount of high cloud, and on […]
Kenosha North Pierhead Light, Wisconsin, USA
The clouds framed the lighthouse. The Kenosha North Pier Light, also known as the Kenosha North Pierhead Light, is a lighthouse located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. A typical “Lake Michigan red tower”, it is a sibling to the Milwaukee Pierhead Light. The light was built in 1906 as a replacement for the old Kenosha Light Station.
Colorful Sunrise, Plage de l’Est, Montreal Quebec, Canada
On a night in August 2025, I consulted my weather application to ascertain the expected conditions for sunrise the following day. The forecast indicated sunny weather with some clouds. Using The Photographer’s Ephemeris app, I determined that Plage de l’Est would be an ideal vantage point for capturing the sunrise. Subsequently, I rechecked the application […]
