Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
The lake and the surrounding marshes are situated in the Indian state of Gujarat. Mainly inhabited by migratory birds in winter and spring, they form the largest wetland bird sanctuary in India. We visited the bird sanctuary a couple of years ago. The tour of the sanctuary was on a small motorized boat, which took […]
Magic Sunrise, Plage de l’Est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on June 27th, 2026, at 5:28 am in Montreal, at Plage de l’Est. Montreal is a big city. However, I found many places free of visual distractions that were appropriate for capturing sunrises and sunsets. Before leaving home, I checked the Photographer’s Ephemeris app to confirm whether the location was suitable […]
Painted Hills, Bentonite Hills, Hanksville Utah, USA
I’ve wanted to see and photograph the bentonite hills in the Hanksville, UT, area for some time, ever since I first started seeing the many amazing drone shots of this crazy, otherworldly place. I can say it did not disappoint in the least. I was blown away by the ever-changing terrain and geology in such […]
Last Light At Neist Point, Isle of Skye, Scotland
On my second trip to Scotland, I really wanted to experience sunset at Neist Point. Luckily, I was able to book an Airbnb five minutes down the road from the car park. It was looking promising for an epic sunset, but in the very final minutes, a bunch of clouds blocked the setting sun. This […]
The Colored Curves, La Coulee Grou Beach, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Let me tell you this unbelievable story. I took this photograph on April 28th at 5:30 am at Coulée Grou Beach in Montreal. That early morning, I was driving to reach La Plage de l’Est, my local sunrise paradise location, to catch sunrise. On my way I saw these unusual colored clouds in the sky […]
Sunset Seen From Pienza, Tuscany, Italy
From the walls of Pienza, the landscape of Val d’Orcia unfolds beneath the fading evening light. Rolling fields, cypress-lined roads, and scattered farmhouses reflect centuries of coexistence between people and the Tuscan countryside, with some structures dating back to the 14th century. Arriving in Pienza during the afternoon, shifting weather brought dense clouds over the […]

Elegug Stacks Sunrise, Pembroke, Wales
A rather grey morning greeted me at the Elegug Stacks in Wales, and I didn’t have very high expectations. The sun hadn’t risen yet, and I set up my tripod with my camera. A slight break in the clouds appeared on the horizon, giving me hope for a bit of nice light. Then the sun […]
Fire In The Sky, Venice Beach Pier, Florida, USA
I was wanting to go back to the Venice Beach Pier again to do another sunset photo op, but almost didn’t go because of the 1-1/4-hour drive (I was worried the sun would be concealed too much by all of the storm clouds everywhere). Once I arrived, though, I immediately realized it was going to […]
