Hanging Lake Waterfall, Glenwood Canyon, Glenwood, Colorado, USA
Sept. 22, 2023. 9:30am. Hanging Lake had long been on my list of “must photograph” locations. I had tried several times to schedule a trip to this location near Glenwood Springs, CO. This year, we intentionally booked a campground nearby so that I could add this location to my portfolio. As a wall mural photographer, […]
Bruarfoss, Southwestern Iceland
Bruarfoss is a well-known waterfall in southwestern Iceland, and its fame has increased since a dirt road was constructed to bring visitors closer to the falls. It’s notable for its sinuous braid of water falling into a narrow cleft in the rock bed. I’ve been to Bruarfoss several times, starting ten years ago when access […]
Cascade on Dog River, Slaughterhouse Covered Bridge, Northfield, Vermont, USA
Northfield, Vermont, a community of approximately 5,900 people, is primarily known for Norwich University, the oldest private military college in the United States. But it also boasts a collection of five surviving 19th-century covered bridges, including the red Slaughterhouse Covered Bridge visible near the top of the image. The town is also recognized for its […]
Setting Sun at Kirkjufellsfoss, Kirkjufell, Iceland
This photograph shows a picturesque view of Kirkjufell Mountain, one of Iceland’s most recognisable landscapes. The setting sun illuminates the peak with warm, golden tones, contrasting with the cool blue sky and distant mountains. In the foreground, a gently cascading waterfall adds dynamics to the composition, creating a harmonious blend of rugged rock, flowing water, […]
The Hidden Jewel, Zapata Falls, Colorado, USA
I hiked up a rocky, dry creek bed for about 1/4 mile to begin my trek through the cold, running water, slippery rocks, and wet, rounded boulders. As I approached a narrow cave-like crevasse and entered it, I found a remarkably hidden 30-foot waterfall cascading down onto a rocky ledge, creating a small pool. The […]
Ben’s Bluff Falls, Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, Belize
Belize and Central America, in general, are home to numerous spectacular waterfalls of all shapes and sizes. On my frequent trips to the region, I try to chalk another off the list. In Belize alone, I’ve photographed over a dozen. One place I keep returning to is the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. It’s tucked off […]
St Paddy’s Falls in Spring, Near Bocabec, New Brunswick, Canada
I took this photo in April 2020, after the spring runoff, when there was still a significant amount of water flowing over the falls, as it tends to dry up in the summer. This falls is located in the woods near Bocabec in southern New Brunswick, and it’s an easy hike to get to. Very […]
Morning Light on Proxy Falls, Willamette National Forest, Lane County, Oregon, USA
For me, photographing a waterfall is one of the most enjoyable exercises in landscape photography. While consistent in their reason for existence – water cascading over a substantial elevation change – their variety in form, setting, flow, and accessibility provides endless opportunities for composition and creative interpretation. Living in the central Oregon region of the […]
The Great Falls From Overlook 3, McLean, Virginia, USA
While recovering from hip surgery a couple of winters ago, I dragged myself and my gear out to Great Falls on the Potomac River, Virginia side near Washington, DC, on a cold, overcast January day to try out long-ish exposures of moving water using my new circular ND filter. I took a bunch of photos […]
Quinault Valley, Olympic National Park, WA, USA
I take most of my pictures close to where I live. Living in Switzerland, nature – including mountains, lakes, and forests – is never far away and offers a wide variety of photographic opportunities throughout the year. Every now and then, however, I need a new impulse, to see something different, to challenge my photographic […]
