The Light at Laughing Falls, Yoho National Park, BC, Canada
I visited Yoho National Park in British Columbia on the last day of a father-son trip to the Canadian Rockies. The itinerary for each day was largely the same: wake up, pack a day bag, hike, take in the beautiful mountain scenery, return to the hotel, eat a delicious dinner, sleep, and repeat. It was […]
Where Leaves Rest, Corno Alle Scale Regional Park, Italy
A golden leaf gently resting on the rock — fragile, yet a witness to the slow passage of time, just like the water carving its way through stone. In this forest corner, autumn speaks in whispers of wet leaves and the melodies of flowing water. No words are needed, only the silence that lingers within […]
Purakaunui Falls, Southern Island, New Zealand
This photo was taken on my 10-week trip to New Zealand. Thanks to an internet site that lists all the waterfalls in New Zealand, I came across this beautiful waterfall. At first, I photographed it from the comfort of the bridge, but I wanted to go the extra mile and went down to the water […]
The Hidden Fall, Sierra de Gredos, Avila, Spain
Tucked away on the northeastern slopes of the Gredos Mountains lies a hidden waterfall, accessible only on foot: a little over half an hour’s walk through dense woodland. The trail, a narrow dirt path worn by time and use, winds gently through trees. Though at times muddy and slick, it is primarily used by local […]
Calf Creek Morning Light, Lower Calf Creek Falls, Boulder, Utah, USA
I set out on the Lower Calf Creek Falls trail in the spring, just after sunrise, on my first journey to these falls. It had been snowing the day before, and a light dusting still covered portions of the trail that did not get much sunlight. The 3-mile hike to the falls was majestic, giving […]
Borrowdale Old Mill Falls, Keswick, Cumbria, England
During a short week spent wandering around Cumbria with a small group of friends, we came across the ‘Secret Old Mill’ in Borrowdale, near Keswick. After parking the car and gathering our gear, we received directions to the Old Mill, but they proved to be inaccurate. We trudged over the moors through the mud, and […]
Ruiwaka Resurgence, Nelson, Tasman, New Zealand
I have often visited this place, looking for that light, and never found it. This trip, I wanted to go earlier before the sun illuminated the area, as I was looking for mist and mood, which I had never seen photographed here before. I was fortunate to have the entire place to myself, so I […]
Mossbrae Falls Detail, Dunsmuir, Siskiyou County, USA

The waterfalls extend approximately 175 ft (53 m) along the river, fed by springs located along the 50 ft (15 m) high riverbank.

Lower Yellowstone Falls, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA
In the fall of 2010, while my wife and I were taking a walk, I found myself thinking about how we had recently become empty-nesters and how that would simplify our travel opportunities. I asked her if she could visit anywhere she wanted to in the next year, where would that be? After a couple […]

Among these natural wonders, Niagara Falls stands as a monumental example of nature’s force, captivating millions of spectators annually with its sheer volume and thunderous roar. The immense power of Niagara Falls is not only a spectacle but also a reminder […]
