Where Land Meets Silence, Dyrholaey, Reynisfjara, Iceland
Iceland’s south coast has a quality that is hard to put into words. On this day at Dyrhólaey, the light was soft, the wind gentle, and the ocean unusually calm. I was actually out searching for puffins — my heart has a soft spot for these small, charismatic birds — but then this view unfolded […]
The River’s Edge, Puntledge River Park, Courtenay, Vancouver Island, Canada
I had been to this park many times. The path beside the river offers many photo opportunities. On this day, I went looking for some autumn scenes. The path was full of fallen leaves, which added color. The river was running full, with many ducks enjoying the water. When I spotted this composition, I knew […]
The Silence Window, Quercianella, Livorno, Tuscany, Italy
This photograph, like so many others, was born on the Livorno coast, a coast that lends itself to minimalist photographs and landscapes lost in time. This photograph tells a silent story of time, sea, and stone. The long exposure creates an ethereal atmosphere; the water becomes a milky, still surface, while the rocks reveal ancient […]
First Light At Dead Horse Point, San Juan County, Utah, USA
Dead Horse Point, located on a mesa across the Colorado River from the Islands in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park in southeast Utah, is a small isthmus on the mesa, two thousand feet above the river. The narrow neck of the isthmus is easily blocked with trees and brush, and was used by […]
Capitol Peak Autumn View, Colorado, USA
This photo was captured at the perfect end to a perfect day. A friend and I spent a stormy night camping along Kebler Pass. We woke up to storm clouds blowing across the freshly snow-covered peaks. After capturing photos for hours, we took a break for some much-needed sustenance and rest. Later in the day, […]
Mist In The Forest, Courtenay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
A small local park is located next to our shopping mall. The park, Millard Creek, has trails cutting through it that I like to explore. On this day, the mist was rolling in through the variety of trees found in a coastal forest. After walking a number of paths, I came across this scene. The […]
Hunts Mesa, Kayenta, Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Arizona, USA
Several years ago, I traveled to Arizona in late January to visit our daughter, which included a preplanned visit to Monument Valley. Monument Valley sits just across the Utah border in northeastern Arizona. For the trip, I reserved a Navajo guide for three days to ensure I could experience all the wonders the Valley has […]
The Desert Spire Bay, Central Badlands, Utah, USA
One of my favorite places to explore photographically is the desert badlands in central Utah, USA. I usually spend several weeks there every year in the fall, hiking and exploring to take advantage of the cooler weather and colorful fall foliage. I have roamed around this area for decades with various cameras, but starting in […]
Flowering Pian Grande, Castelluccio Di Norcia, Italy
The lentil flowering season is one of the most anticipated moments for landscape photographers. Hundreds of photographers flock to the Castelluccio plain in search of memorable shots. In this case, I decided to focus on the flowers, but also on the mountains that frame the valley.
The Breath Of Silence, Quercianella, Livorno, Tuscany, Italy
“The Breath of Silence” was born from the deep air that was felt at the moment of the shot: a deafening silence, an infinite peace, even the sea was silent. The sea becomes an interior space. The long exposure smoothes the water until it transforms into a liquid, still veil, while the concrete pier guides […]
