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 […]
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 […]
