Village Gothic Shadows, She County, Anhui, China
It is the former residence of Tao Yuanming (A.D. 365–427), a Chinese poet and politician who lived during the Six Dynasties period. The architecture in the village is in the classic traditional Hui style. There is a pond in the center of the village, and in the quiet moments of early morning and evening, the […]
Castel Meur, Plougrescant, Brittany, France
Plougrescant is best known for the postcard that went around the world and represents a small stone house built and embedded between two enormous blocks of granite. Surrounded by a low stone wall, it was built a few meters from the Plougrescant chasm. This curiosity has become the calling card of a village bordering wild […]
The Colored Moon, Promenade Bellerive, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on August 11, 2025, at 21:32. The result reflects two fundamental elements of photography: careful planning and familiarity with one’s gear. As mentioned in a previous publication, I used The Photographer’s Ephemeris to identify local vantage points that I could reach in less than twenty minutes. The weather forecast was favourable, […]
Where The Light Resists, Arctic Circle, Norway
In the Arctic Circle, light is never a neutral element: it struggles, resists, digs. In this landscape photograph, it presents itself as a borderland, where the sky looms with its dramatic weight and the ground, dotted with rocks and silence, seems to preserve an ancient memory. The low, layered clouds advance like a living mass, […]
Morning Commute, Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brazil
Watching these animals melt out of the brush, full of purpose and on the hunt, was exhilarating. Then the waiting game, familiar to all nature photographers, begins. In this image, I had hoped to capture the absolute absurdity of their movement and give the viewer a sense of place and scale.
The Tree, Shark Bay, Perth, Western Australia
Flying a fixed-wing aircraft for this trip with the door off, trying to photograph this legendary scene differently, so I chose to use ICM—Intentional Camera Movement — a very slight movement of the camera to achieve this. The f/25 is due to not using a filter and shooting in broad daylight; it’s all about managing […]
Cut Bank Creek Morning, Glacier National Park, Browning, Montana, USA
Visiting Glacier National Park’s west entrance in August 2025 was challenging due to advance reservation requirements for that entry point. We travelled around the park to the east side and stayed in Browning, Montana, which was the closest town with available lodging. So each morning, we had to make the substantial drive from Browning to […]
View Over Castelejo Beach, Cordoama, Vila Do Bispo, Portugal
This photo was taken in late December 2025 and shows Castelejo Beach as seen from the Cordoama viewpoint, near Vila do Bispo, on the southwest coast of Portugal. That day I was walking one of the Rota Vicentina circular trails that starts in the town of Vila do Bispo and heads towards the coast before […]
Komorebi, Yosemite National Park, USA
Winter afternoon in the black oak grove of El Capitan Meadow in Yosemite National Park. I caught the sun shining through the trees right before it ducked down below the granite walls. It had snowed the day before, and the snow on the ground provided the perfect conditions for the radiative fog to lift from […]
Marcela, The Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brazil
Marcela, named by the Jaguar Identification Project in Mato Grosso, Brazil, is a descendant of a line of tree-hunting jaguars in the Pantanal. During the dry season, the cats come down to the river to hunt the caiman that populate these waters. She waits patiently on a tree branch, watching from above, then leaping into […]
