Sunrise Over The Mountains, Wadi Sahtan, Oman
I am part of a local astronomy group that regularly goes on weekend trips to dark sites, normally around the new moon period. Here in Oman, there are still a few locations that are remote enough to allow good observation, where light pollution is lower than usual. Last February, the group headed to Wadi Sahtan, […]
Dunlap Creek Lake, Menallen Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, USA
Walking the trails at Dunlap Creek Lake during the golden hour, I came across this scene of a few men fishing on the water. The orange sky and the silhouettes provided a great setting.
Abbazia Sunset, Croatia
The image was taken in Opatija, Croatia. Sunset in Opatija offers a beautiful scene, though different from the classic one. Because the city faces east onto the Kvarner Gulf, the sun doesn’t dip directly into the sea but instead sets behind the Učka massif. Such a view brings so much peace to the soul, and […]
Crescent City Sunset, California, USA
I was actually photographing a lighthouse in the opposite direction when I turned around to witness the setting sun casting a warm glow across the Pacific Ocean sea stacks. It always pays to look behind you.
One Evening By Chance, Ivrea, Italy
I often look at the sky, at every moment of the day or night. It inspires memories and fantasies, opens my mind, and helps me move forward in my solitude by thinking about the vastness of the universe that governs us and of which we are unaware. A sweet and infinite mystery, a caress for […]
Virginia Mountain Sunrise, Mouth of Wilson, VA, USA
Traveled over 1.5 hours to Grayson Highlands State Park in Virginia. I had planned on hiking a bit to reach a good place to set up for the sunrise. However, fortunately, as I was driving through the park to reach the trailhead, I came across this area on the side of the road that had […]
Cuban Sunset, Playa La Boca, Cuba
A few years ago, I went on a photo tour of Cuba with my brother and a few friends. We visited several places and ended the trip with a few nights in the old pirate town of Trinidad. On this particular evening, we drove to a small coastal town, Playa La Boca, for a sunset […]
Sunset Beach, Ishoej, Sjaelland, Denmark
A cold winter day on the beach at sunset.
Retone, Marina Di Pisa, Tuscany, Italy
Marina di Pisa is famous for its stilt houses used for fishing. They are better known as “retoni.” They are usually photographed at sunrise or sunset, as in this case. In the background are the Apuan Alps, famous for their marble.
Sunrise At Rainbow Rocks, Cayırhan, Nallıhan, Ankara, Turkey
After driving through the night to reach this spot before sunrise, I had no idea such a magnificent welcome was waiting for me. As the first golden light broke across the horizon, the sky exploded in a symphony of cotton-candy pink, soft lavender, and deep purple hues. These colors were perfectly mirrored in the vast, […]
