Blue Reflection, Lomagnupur, Ringroad, Iceland
Many times i passed by this point. This was the first time with blue skies and no wind. So the reflection in a small pond from the rain during the night was perfect. I had to walk some steps away from the ring road through muddy grass. It was on the way back to Reykjavik […]
Mist On The Estuary, Courtenay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
On this day, the morning mist rolled into the Courtenay River estuary. Through the mist, I saw the trees protruding into the river as I had not seen before. As it was a calm day, the water was still, which gave a nice reflection. Also, the fall colors of the trees were subdued by the […]
First Light, Tibet Autonomous Region
My best elevation hike before embarking on this trip was to the summits of local hills in the San Francisco Bay Area, which are about 2,000 to 4,000 feet in height. This hike was different—starting from the trailhead at 15,000 feet above sea level, we hiked to a campsite surrounded by mountains located at 17,100 […]
Dunquin Pier, Co Kerry, Ireland
The picturesque harbour of Dún Chaoin is captured at sunset, as the last golden light filters through the dramatic rain clouds over the Atlantic. Steep, vibrantly green cliffs and a distinctive, winding path led down to a tranquil, turquoise bay surrounded by sharp rock formations. The contrast between the gentle sunset light and the heavy, […]
Khardung La Pass, Karakoram Mountain Range, Ladakh, India
The formidable mountain range is best seen from high mountain passes in Ladakh. Khardung La is one such pass situated at an altitude of 18,379 ft. above sea level. One of the highest motorable roads allows easy accessibility to this region.
Sunrise at Dead Horse Point State Park, San Juan County, Utah, USA
Dead Horse Point, located on a bluff across from the Islands in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park in southeast Utah, is named for a narrow section of the bluff just north of the point, which cowboys used as a natural corral for wild horses. According to legend, a herd of horses was trapped […]
Between Light And Rocks, Quercianella, Livorno, Tuscany, Italy
A small marina is located at the foot of Sonnino Castle in Quercianella, Livorno. I had been wanting to descend from the Mediterranean scrub to this marina for a long time. There is no free access; the marina is part of the castle and is private, until my friend Andrea Lorenzetti convinced me to go, […]
Bush Highway Sunrise, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA
This was my first trip out into the Arizona desert with my new tripod. I’ve been shooting handheld for over 10 years. So, I was excited to really capture a true Arizona sunrise. I was fortunate that clouds decided to show up and catch the oranges, pinks, and purples. It made an already beautiful scene […]
Setting Sun, Horseshoe Bend, Arizona, USA
The setting sun illuminates the monumental canyon walls, and golden rays reflect off the deep, intensely blue bend of the Colorado River. The distinctive Horseshoe Bend rock formation creates a spectacular composition, where the warm hues of the red rocks contrast with the cool water. It’s one of Arizona’s most recognizable sites, captured at a […]
Morning Mist Over The Courtenay River Estuary, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
Hiking the hills around the Comox Valley, I came across this view of the morning mist flowing through the valley below. I have hiked this area dozens of times. This was the first time I saw the morning mist covering the valley. As I had my camera gear with me, as I usually do, I […]
