Salinas de Janubio Sunset, Lanzarote, Spain
Lanzarote is an island that deserves attention. Unfortunately, I visited in August and the weather wasn’t ideal. The Salina de Janubio is spectacular and not at all easy to photograph. The roads on the island are well-maintained, but there’s a lack of parking, making it very difficult to park. That evening was my last before […]
Agawa Bay At Dawn, Lake Superior Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada
Before making my way back to the states, I took one last moment to fully appreciate just how beautiful Agawa Bay truly is. The morning sun casting its light in the distance to the peaking maple belt was the cherry on top. There’s a raw natural beauty along the eastern shores of Lake Superior. A […]
The Master Architect
This photograph captures a male Baya Weaver peering from its intricately woven grass nest, showcasing the species’ famous architectural skills. The image features two pendant-shaped structures suspended from a tree, including one with a partially formed entrance and another with a protective vertical tube. Set against a soft green background, the shot emphasizes the bird’s […]
Crystal Forest, Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, USA
My wife and I started off the new year doing what we love most – hiking in new locations. For this trip, we headed to Holbrook, AZ, to check out the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest National Park. Rain was in the forecast, but we managed to stay dry and went for a longer hike […]
Rice Fields, Maiorca, Figueira da Foz, Coimbra, Portugal
The Portuguese are very fond of rice; they consume 16 kilos per year per person, the highest value in Europe! The complete rice-growing cycle takes 5 to 7 months, depending on the variety. The seeds are buried in the spring in moist soil (or already germinated in flooded ground). When the plant reaches a certain […]
Aries Tor Pure Gold, Thredbo, New South Wales, Australia
Just after Christmas 2025, my wife and I hiked up to Aries Tor, a granite outcrop near the summit of Mount Kosciuszko in Australia. It has always been a bucket list adventure and photography location for us after a failed attempt to reach it about seven years ago. The Tor is a difficult spot to […]
Stone pines, Obidos, Leiria, Portugal
The stone pine is one of the most beautiful trees of the Portuguese flora. The species, distributed throughout the Mediterranean, occurs in almost all Portuguese provinces — except in the very dry interior — most notably near rivers and the ocean. The trees can reach 20 metres in height and live for many years. The […]
Sunrise Over Bathsheba, Barbados
I was up before dawn; it was still dark. I carefully picked my way on the rocks and approached the beach. I patiently waited for the advent of light. At the right moment, and there were only a few chances within minutes, I snapped a few frames before the brightness of sunlight became a glare.
Petit Minou Lighthouse, Plouzan, Finistere, France
The lighthouse “du Petit Minou” is one of the most iconic lighthouses in Brittany. Located in the commune of Plouzané, just west of Brest, it stands sentinel at the entrance to the “Goulet de Brest” (the Brest Narrows). Built in 1848, its primary function is to guide vessels safely into the roadstead of Brest. The […]
Moon Rise, Baiao, Porto, Portugal
A few days ago, I was mesmerized by watching the moon rise behind the branches of a pedunculate oak tree I have in the backyard. The full moon was just a few days away, but she was already magnificent and seductive. I couldn’t help but think about Pliny’s description of the collection of mistletoe from […]
