Double Moonbow Over Yosemite Falls, California, USA
In the months of May, June, and July, the full moon is perpendicular to Yosemite Falls. On a clear night, after a short hike from the Lodge parking lot, you get to the viewpoint for the Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls. While fighting the crowds and the moisture from the spray (a lens drying cloth […]
Stillness, Catawba Falls, Old Fort, North Carolina, USA
This image was taken after climbing the Ridge Trail at Catawba Falls, a steep but well-maintained route that offers less crowded access to the base of the upper falls. The trail is more of a fire service road than a traditional trail, with numerous switchbacks and significant vertical gain, but it offers a clear view […]
Fail da Terra Waterfall, Sao Miguel, Azores, Portugal
A few years ago, I had the chance to visit the largest island of the Açores, São Miguel. It was a wonderful trip, as the island is beautiful and offers almost endless opportunities for trekking or simply enjoying nature. From ancient volcanic calderas and active volcanoes with hot springs to inviting beaches, this island has […]
Middle McCloud Falls, California, USA
The McCloud River had been on my list for 25 years. I just couldn’t seem to fit it into my schedule, as I am always out in the field teaching in June, the time of year I wanted to visit and photograph the river and falls. However, last summer, things finally fell into place. I […]
Rainbow Falls in Watkins Glen State Park, New York, USA
In 2012, my wife and I took a trip through southern Ontario and Quebec, then came home through New York State. Our main target in New York was the Corning Glass Museum, but since we were so close, we also visited Watkins Glen. The town is located on the south end of Seneca Lake, but […]
Mighty Skogafoss, Iceland
Skógafoss – one of Iceland’s most stunning waterfalls – captured in all its glory. A powerful cascade of water plunges 60 meters, creating a mesmerising mist, framed by rugged landscapes. The dramatic sky and the calm water in the foreground add a mystical atmosphere to the scene. This image perfectly conveys the majesty of Icelandic […]
Drowned Forest, Nass Valley, British Columbia, Canada
You hear the roar of the river rushing through the forest long before you see it. The Drowned Forest of the Nass Valley is a yearly phenomenon whereby the river rises from the Spring melt and the Spring showers. Working its way through the forest, it spills over the banks and crashes through the […]
Stroppia Waterfalls at Night, Chiappera, Piemonte, Italy
Stroppia’s waterfalls are iconic cascades located in the Italian Alps. Some people consider them a unique feature and potentially the tallest waterfall in Europe. I decided to photograph them at night, illuminated by the moonlight, which was about 85% full. The result was quite interesting; at first glance, the picture appears to have been taken […]
Bright Day at Burgess Falls, TN, USA
I had very limited time in Tennessee, and I was apprehensive that I might not have enough time to find some great photo spots. After I visited a couple of locations, like Twin Falls, I made my way to Burgess Falls. I knew right away that my time at these falls had not been wasted […]
Kaatterskill Falls in the Catskills, Greene County, NY, USA
I visited the lower falls at the Kaaterskill Falls area. There is a small parking area that leads to this site, but the walk is a short and somewhat unsafe one. The road winding through the mountain is often traveled by many people eager for a glimpse of the falls. Although the lower falls may […]
