Waiting For The Light, Corinto Beach, Sagunto, Valencia, Spain
It was just after 6:00 a.m. when I stepped onto the beach, only a short two-kilometer walk from my summer home. The beginning of summer had brought with it a warm, calm morning, making the early start feel effortless and well worth the journey. The evening before, I had wandered along the shoreline in search […]
River Minho Sunset, Caminha, Between Portugal And Spain
This photo was taken just before sailing to the other side from Portugal to Spain when I was walking the Camino de Santiago from Porto.
Sunrise Starburst At El Capitan, Yosemite National Park, California, USA
The predawn stillness in Yosemite is a true test of patience, but the final capture of “Sunrise at Tunnel View” made every hour of waiting worthwhile.

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. I used a slow shutter speed partly to soften the water, and a […]
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.
