Dead Horse Point State Park, Moab, Utah, USA
Easily one of my favorite places to photograph. Moab in general, and Dead Horse Point, specifically offers endless possibilities. This particular afternoon had been hot and muggy, with passing thunderstorms. After spending time at Green River Overlook and Grand Viewpoint in Canyonlands NP, we rushed to this spot to catch the evening sun as it […]
Bell And Courthouse Rocks At Sunset, Sedona, AZ, USA
We spent a couple of days in the Sedona area. The hotel where we stayed was about 1 mile from Ball Rock. On our second night, we found a good vista, on the Yavapai Trail, where we could photograph Bell and Courthouse rocks at sunset. There were many ledges along the trail to stop and […]
Green River Overlook, Canyonland NP, Near Moab, Utah, USA
More than 12 years ago, my photo buddy and I visited the so-called False Kiva in Canyonlands National Park on our last afternoon. The sky appeared to be developing beautifully for a sunset shot over Green River Overlook, which was supposed to be a 20-minute walk back to the car, plus a 15-minute drive under […]
Light Play, Calafuria, Livorno, Italy
There are moments when light does not arrive to illuminate, but to remain. It does not enter with force, it does not demand attention. It settles. It hovers between sky and sea, as if it too needs to understand where it belongs. I reached this rocky shoreline in the late afternoon, when the day began […]
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 […]
Grand Tetons National Park, Jackson, Wyoming, USA
Camping with my kids in the fall, our first trip to the mountain west.
Sunrise Over Jebel Shams, Oman
The Jebel Shams Mountain in Oman soars to heights of 3,000 m above sea level, making it the highest peak in the country. It is a popular destination all year round; in the summer, it provides an escape from the heat due to its cooler temperatures, whereas in the winter, it can get cold, almost […]
Salgados River Entrance, Algarve, Portugal
Early morning walk on a Sunday at 10.00am from Galle to Amacao de Pera on the Algarve in Portugal. The local boardwalk was pretty empty and the day was cool, but it was bright, and the clouds were wispy in late November. The image of peace and quiet was pre-determined as I crossed the bridge […]
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 […]
