Morning On Balestrand, Sognefjord, Vestland, Norway

Snow Day At Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, USA

Imposing Peaks At Aaeschi, Wasseramt, Solothurn, Switzerland
When I visited Aeschi last September, I encountered a unique landscape.

Rock formations, vegetation, and structure are presented with visual restraint, allowing material qualities and spatial relationships to define the scene.
