Magnificent Kandersteg Valley, Frutigen Niedersimmental, Bern, Switzerland

Along the valley of the River Kander, west of the Jungfrau massif, the Kandersteg valley offers spectacular mountain vistas, green pastures with dairy cows, and conifer forests. Walking through the site last September on a beautiful afternoon, I was particularly impressed by the light green pastures and the patches of dark green forests, mainly composed […]

Crimson Passage Old Bridge, Borgo Stremiz, Faedis, Udine, Italy

Crimson Passage Old Bridge, Borgo Stremiz, Faedis, Udine, Italy

A weathered stone arch is situated within a forested landscape shaped by gradual natural processes. Rock formations, vegetation, and structure are presented with visual restraint, allowing material qualities and spatial relationships to define the scene. Within the predominantly subdued tonal range, a small grouping of red leaves on a moss-covered stone introduces a controlled chromatic […]

Suspended In Silence, Torre Del Lago, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy

Suspended In Silence, Torre Del Lago, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy

A thin branch emerges from the still water, like the last guardian of an ancient silence. The haze blurs the horizon into soft, luminous tones, dissolving the boundaries between the sky and its reflection. Every detail seems suspended in time. The absolute stillness of the water, the fragility of the now-dried leaves, and the light […]

Rolling Hills During Harvest, Palouse, Washington, USA

Rolling Hills During Harvest, Palouse, Washington, USA

Driving through the rolling hills of Palouse Country during the fall harvest highlights the texture caused by the various crops. Also, the shadows created across the fields of grain add to the textures. I would like to return in spring-summer to photograph all the shades of green that cover this beautiful place. Palouse is located […]

Wild Goose Island, St Mary Lake, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA

I got my first DSLR in 2008, and using it over the following year prompted my wife and me to begin visiting the US national parks (there are currently 64 of them) to capture the many landscapes. While I am retired now, for most of the years since then, I was working and was only […]

Lake Brienz Turquoise blue Waters, Interlaken Oberhasli, Bern, Switzerland

Lake Brienz, located at the foot of the Brienzer Rothorn mountain (2,350 meters high) in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland, marvels us with its turquoise-blue waters, which form a mirror-like reflection when the weather is calm and windless. Although the lake reaches a depth of over 200 meters, the water is shallower at the […]

Archway Islands Reflection, Wharariki Beach, Golden Bay, New Zealand

Archway Islands Reflection, Wharariki Beach, Golden Bay, New Zealand

A 30-minute drive followed by a 30-minute walk brought me there 30 minutes before sunrise, allowing me to experience a VERY rare windless morning on this West Coast beach. With the beach to myself, the only company being a waking seal from one of the caves, I could stroll leisurely up and down the shore, […]
