Quiet Pastel Light, Dune du Pilat, Archachon Bay, France
This photograph was taken during a quiet November sunrise from the shores of Cap Ferret, at a moment when the world still felt half-asleep. I arrived long before the first glow touched the horizon, giving myself time to settle into the stillness and plan the shot I had envisioned. The basin was calm, but not […]
Pink Winter Sunset, Highland City, Utah, USA
I knew I was in for a show when I looked at the weather forecast early that morning. I packed up my camera bag and took it with me as I went about my day. As sunset approached, I made my way closer to the mountains. I started up the canyon when I realized I’d […]
The Benches Of Massaciuccoli, Torre del Lago, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy
Torre del Lago is famous for being the summer home of Giacomo Puccini. In this photograph, we are on the opposite side of his home, in Massaciuccoli to be precise, where the Italian League for Bird Protection (LIPU) has installed observation posts and huts for waterfowl, wading birds, and other birds. The two structures I’ve […]
Rocks In A mountain Pond, Mt Washington, Courtenay, BC, Canada
Mt. Washington on Vancouver Island is well known as a ski resort in the wintertime. However, I much enjoy exploring all the logging and maintenance roads that wrap around the mountain. The backside of the ski hill has many small ponds. What a great place to find numerous photo opportunities. On this fine day, I […]
Winter Dawn On The Plain, Castelluccio di Norcia, Umbria, Italy
When the Castelluccio di Norcia plain is covered in snow, the landscape appears enchanted.
Sweeping View Of Rocky Mountain Range, Denver, Colorado, USA
We took this road trip some years ago on our visit to Denver to attend a conference. Trail Ridge Road is one of the most spectacular drives in the US, taking you to an elevation of 12183 feet (at the Alpine visitor center) where the Rocky Mountain range stretches out into the distance. It is […]
Underworld Val Maor, Villa di Villa, Belluno, Italy
Shot deep inside a remote canyon, this photograph captures the quiet tension between shadow and flowing light. Reached only after a long and hidden path, the place revealed itself as a raw and untouched underworld of stone, carved by centuries of water.
Montignoso Memories, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy
An old dock used to load marble onto ships, quarried in blocks from the quarries of Carrara, Pietrasanta, and the entire Apuan Alps. It’s like reliving times gone by—we’re talking about 100 years ago now—the marble is now loaded and transported using modern means to the port of Carrara.
An Unexpected Gift, Death Valley National Park, California, USA
For several consecutive years, sufficient rainfall during the winter months has flooded the salt pan playas of Death Valley. The view from Bad Water Basin, which is the lowest point in the valley at 282 feet below sea level, typically features formations of salt patterns that extend for more than a mile. Therefore, witnessing the […]
Striking Polynesian Landscape, Moorea Island, French Polynesia
In 2010, we spent three wonderful weeks in the French Polynesian Islands. Each day, I was amazed by the stunning mountains formed through volcanic activity. We dedicated an entire week to Moorea Island. The bay is visible on the right side; our lodge was situated directly in front of the distant large boat. We canoed […]
