Autumn Colours At Fairytale Cottage, Srednji Vrh Village Near Kranjska Gora, Slovenia
I was up here with a one-to-one workshop client one afternoon. The colours were amazing. This location would normally be better shot in the morning, when the light comes from the other direction, because from the right you get the elongated shadow of the house on the grass. However, the broken cloud was not only […]
Upper Hudson River, Northumberland, NY, USA
I was exploring Hudson Crossing Park one afternoon. The park is so named because this location has been used for crossing the Hudson River for millions of years, from early Native Americans to railroad bridges to modern vehicular bridges. There are a couple of lines of concrete piers across this portion of the river, remnants […]
Upside Down Heaven, Auronzo di Cadore, Belluno, Italy
Jagged peaks rise like a fractured cathedral, their stone faces carved by time and silence. Beneath this immense amphitheatre of rock, a solitary refuge rests in the valley, its faint lights a quiet declaration of human presence. The winding path that leads to it feels less like a road and more like a question—about scale, […]
Glorious Beach Sunset, Lavra, Matosinhos, Porto, Portugal
Last October, I went to watch the sunset on a beach near where I live. The sky was perfectly clear, and the sun was setting on the horizon. Just before it disappeared, I captured this image. The tide was high. I used a neutral density filter so I could use a low shutter speed to […]
Man’s Landscape, Hofn, Iceland
Traveling around Iceland involved everything from waterfalls to beaches to a snowy alp reaching the ocean. A stop in Höfn, a coastal but commercial fishing town, had us staying in a micro cabin with about twenty other “cabinees.” It was June, so daylight lasted almost all night, and after dinner, around 9 p.m., I wandered […]
Pima Point Sunset, Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA
We were at the Grand Canyon for two days, touring the South Rim. The canyon is 18 miles wide at its widest point, 277 miles long, and over a mile deep. In the late afternoon of the first day, we took the shuttle bus west to Pima Point. As the sun slowly lowered, the colours […]
Black Peak, Vitosha Mountain, Bulgaria
The so-called (by me) “Sugar House” represents my favourite place on Cherni Vrah (translated as Black Peak), the highest point of Vitosha Mountain, located in close proximity to the capital of Bulgaria, Sofia. The ascent takes approximately two hours from the point where one can leave the car. The temperature that evening (17.01.2026) was close […]
Lonely Pine, Blaisvatnet, Lyngen, Norway
There are many hiking routes in the Lyngen region in northern Norway. One of them leads to the intensely blue-coloured lake Blåisvatnet, which forms a striking contrast with the mountains in the background. The trail is challenging due to a couple of kilometres of rocky terrain. Sturdy shoes are necessary, and it is also important […]
Victoria Falls Passage, Zambia
This picture was the result of a day-long trek through the Victoria Falls area. After being drenched by rain and spray from the falls, we crossed over to the Zambian side, where I saw this bridge over the water, surrounded by rising vapour and mist. I knew immediately that this was the exact shot I […]
Olive Tree Swayed In The Wind, Alcanena, Santarem, Portugal
Last October, on a clear but very windy day, I was delighted to see the branches of my centuries-old olive tree swaying in the wind, while the enormous trunk remained perfectly still. How could I capture the essence of the scene? I used a neutral density filter and an eight-second exposure, and obtained this result. […]
