San Rafael Swell Sunrise, Emery County, Utah, USA
I was on a quick trip between the LA area of California and Moab, Utah. I had one night to find a place with dark skies so I could get a good Milky Way photo. But there was one problem. Monsoonal moisture had spread all over central and southern Utah, and when I stopped for […]
Morning Reflection, Donnelly, Idaho, USA
This image was made during one of those quiet mornings that remind me why I fell in love with landscape photography. While on a camping trip with my family, I woke early, before anyone else, and strolled down to the lake, camera in hand. I arrived at the lake before sunrise, hoping for good light, […]
Sunset On The Dream Coast, Olympic National Park, Washington, USA
On a cool day at the end of winter, a friend and I made the long walk out to Rialto Beach to photograph some of the sea stacks on Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula coast. As the sun neared the horizon, the light got better and better until it culminated in a spectacular melding of golden […]
Hills Of Santa Luce Sunrise, Pisa, Italy
I arrive when the light is already there. It is neither arriving not changing. It simply is. It divides the field with unexpected precision. One side remains in shadow, still holding the last traces of night. The other rests in warm morning light. Between them runs a narrow path. It was not planned. It was […]
Juniper Silhouette, Cardedu, Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy
Among the beaches of Cardedu in southeastern Sardinia, the one I feel most attached to is Su Sirboni—a name that means the wild boar. Not only is the beach set in a stunning bay, but it also boasts seascapes framed by the coast’s red granite rocks—sights rarely found elsewhere. I have photographed it using every […]
Sunset Over Waddencoast Near Westernieland, Netherlands
I am a mudflat-walking guide for the Wadden Sea area in the Netherlands. The light in this area is exceptional, especially during the morning and evening. This makes it a magical place to be.
Orciano Pisano Hills Sunrise, Italy
Some landscapes reveal themselves at once. Others ask for time. Not because they are more complex, but because they are built from only a few elements: a hill, a field of ripe wheat, and a sky in constant motion. Nothing demands attention. Nothing needs to explain itself. That morning, the day arrived without haste. Clouds […]
Trinity Lighthouse, Gibraltar
The day had begun with remarkable clarity at the Trinity Lighthouse on Gibraltar. The sea stretched out like polished glass, disturbed only by the gentlest ripples. With barely a whisper of wind, the air carried a peaceful stillness that seemed to slow the passage of time. Visitors paused to admire the endless blue horizon while […]
Red Rocks At Sunrise, Arbatax, Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy
The Red Rocks (Rocce Rosse) in Arbatax are one of the town’s famous attractions, serving as the backdrop for a major annual music festival held right by the sea. As the last of the previous night’s revelers were leaving, I was setting up my tripod and camera. Amidst yawns and curious glances, I searched for […]
Sunset Light On Mount Baker, Skagit Wildlife Area, Edison, Washington, USA
During the winter months, when the days are short, I make trips to the Skagit Wildlife Area, located between BayView and Edison, to photograph owls and other raptors during golden hour. During a lull in the activity, just as the sun was setting, I stepped away from the tripod-mounted setup and noticed the light on […]
