Attraction To Colour Red, Lavra, Matosinhos, Porto, Portugal
The red flag was adopted in the 19th century as the banner of unions and workers’ movements. 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, […]
Marsh Reed Reflection, Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
Marsh Reed reflections at sunset are spectacular to view.
Admiring The Sunset, Lavra, Matosinhos, Porto, Portugal
On perfectly clear days, without clouds, mist, or fog, sunset is a spectacle that fascinates and attracts us with that enormous red solar disc, as if it were on fire… Not long ago, on a particularly hot day with a clear sky and atmosphere, I watched the sun setting behind the great Atlantic Ocean. The […]
Day’s End At The End Of The World, Bandon, Oregon, USA
A phenomenal early June day coming to a close on the southern Oregon coast. Summer on the Oregon coast usually does not arrive until mid-July. On this early June day, we spent most of the daylight hours walking among the huge cedar, Douglas fir, and Sitka spruce trees. By sunset, we were back at the […]
Tinwis Beach Sunset Tranquility, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
In early October, my family and I decided to treat ourselves to a few days’ stay on one of the beautiful beaches near Tofino, a 3-hour drive from our quaint seaside town on the southeast coast of Vancouver Island, so we could enjoy the island’s rugged west coast and the spectacular autumn drive, when the […]
Monte Rosa Sunset, Prarolo, Italy
Prarolo is a small village just outside the city of Vercelli. From here, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of Monte Rosa, and the sunset is evocative and romantic. I recommend slightly underexposing the shot to make the image stand out more. The quiet feeling of returning home.
Moment Of Peace, La Coulee Grou Beach, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on July 6th at 8:46 pm in Montreal at La Coulée Grou Beach. Montreal is a big city. However, I found many places free of visual distractions that are ideal for capturing sunrises and sunsets. From experience, I know that a couple of minutes before and after sunset or sunrise, the […]
Hawaiian Sunset, Tunnels Beach, Kauai, Hawaii, USA
We have visited this beach on the North Shore of Kauai many times, in all kinds of weather. But without a doubt, this is the prettiest sunset I have ever witnessed there. I shot well over 100 images that evening, and the memories of that sunset, with the waves lapping at my bare feet and […]
