Countdown Has Started, Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary, Gujarat, India
In a matter of minutes, the sun will finally set for the day. Every second we spent over the lake, nature presented a different spectacular look.
Cypresses Avenue, Bolgheri, Tuscany, Italy
Twice a year, the sun is in that position. I went there for four days straight and finally managed to find a good spot to shoot.
Palouse Hills Sunrays, Steptoe Butte Heritage State Park, Washington, USA
Day three of my Palouse Fall and Palouse Hills Big Adventure Photography Class, I had my students on Steptoe Butte in Steptoe Butte State Park Heritage in Washington, watching and photographing light dance across the Palouse Hills with our telephoto lenses. Developing thunderstorms heading our way knocked out the light for a while. Soon the […]
Foggy Sunrise, Kaziranga National Park, Assam, India
The sun was struggling to emerge from the very thick fog. The shot was taken while sitting atop a tame Indian elephant, part of our safari through the dense forest. Only they have the ability to navigate through this vegetation, which is the habitat of the great one-horned Indian rhino.
Renewing, Pagham, West Sussex, England
I had planned this image for several weeks, but the weather or tide didn’t always cooperate. I wanted the sun to be rising over the renewable energy turbines, hence the title ‘Renewing.’ Probably not the most imaginative, but it works for me.

Sunset Over Umiam Lake, Shillong, Meghalaya, India
Umiam Lake is a reservoir in the hills 15 km north of Shillong in the state of Meghalaya, India. It was created by damming the Umiam River in the early 1960s. It’s a great place for boating and other aquatic activities. We passed by the lake on our way to Shillong for an overnight stay.

While visiting family in San Diego, I caught this moment of the local birds enjoying the sunset.
Attraction To Colour Red, Lavra, Matosinhos, Porto, Portugal

After the Russian Revolution of 1917, this flag was progressively adopted by unions, parties, and regimes that adhered to communism. Red became associated with the politically advanced and the revolutionary (through a kind of chromatic declension, Mitterrand’s French […]
Subtle Sunrise Serenity, Long Beach, Tofino, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
Here in our new home on the sheltered southeast coast of Vancouver Island, we are so grateful for the warmth of this lovely Mediterranean-like climate and the calm, gentle waters that welcome us at our local beach. Still, every so often we long to experience the rugged, untamed beauty of the island’s west coast up […]
Sunrise In Jebel Hat, Oman
This photo was taken in one of my favorite locations in the Oman mountains: Sharaf Al Alamein in Jebel Hat. In the past, it was only possible to get there via graded roads using a four-wheel-drive vehicle, but today you can travel there in a saloon car, driving along a safe tarmac road. That is, […]
