Between The Tides, Pantai Kareng Bokor, Sawarna, Java Indonesia
Sawarna is a lesser-known place on Java. It is off the beaten track. It had been on my wish list for some time. We visited this place early in the morning. Currently, it is very difficult to access this stretch of beach, partly because it is private land and tourists are not allowed to visit […]
The Ice Fall, Varovitetz Waterfall, Etropolski Monastery, Etropole, Bulgaria
The Varovitetz Waterfall is located beneath a monastery near Etropole, Bulgaria, deep in the mountains. It looks especially beautiful in the spring and summer. There is a small area in front of the waterfall where visitors can stand. When I visited in the summer a few years ago, I almost got wet while taking photos […]
Tim’s Bridge, Wellfleet, Barnstable County, MA, USA
An early morning walk across Tim’s Bridge in Wellfleet is a classic Cape Cod experience. This photo was taken when the fog was still lingering, and the flora had an incredibly fine and delicate look. Even with all the trappings of modernity, the Cape retains its elemental quality as soon as you venture off the […]
Mill Pond in Winter, Oak Creek, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, USA
Located in a local park, the calm, placid Mill Pond is beautiful at any time of year, but it becomes particularly stunning in winter when the water flowing over the dam freezes into ice. The waterfall flows heavily after spring and summer rains, but slows down in the winter, becoming a gentle flow of water […]
Christine Falls, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State, USA
One of the things I enjoy most about living in the Pacific Northwest is the easy access to several magnificent national parks, including Olympic National Park, Crater Lake National Park, North Cascades National Park, and Mount Rainier National Park. I have visited and photographed each of these parks, and I am continually amazed by the […]
Escalante Canyon, Grand-Staircase Escalante Monument, Utah, USA
This is an expansive view of Escalante Canyon in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, Utah. We can see hundreds of miles ahead from this elevated point. The topography of the land resembles a staircase. The image was shot using a 35 mm film camera. Three images were stitched together to create a panoramic view.
Early Morning Brandon Bay, Kerry, Ireland
Brandon Bay is a large open bay on Ireland’s west coast situated on the northern side of the Dingle peninsula and at the foot of Brandon Mountain. We set off very early, at 4am, to be at sunrise on Brandon Bay beach that morning, which we reached by crossing a meadow occupied by sheep. For […]
Golden Sands, Vestrahorn, Stokksnes Peninsula, Iceland
The golden light of the setting sun paints soft lines across the dark, volcanic sand of Stokksnes Black Beach in southeast Iceland. In the background, the sharp peaks of Mount Vestrahorn rise majestically, contrasting with delicate dunes dotted with tufts of green grass. The sky, full of diffused clouds, adds drama and depth to the […]
Intimate View of Donut Falls, Big Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake City, USA
Donut Falls is a delightful hike up Big Cottonwood Canyon just outside of Salt Lake City. It was a beautiful hike during wildflower season. It wasn’t until I got to the top of the hike at the falls that I realized I had left my wide-angle lens at home, and only had my macro lens. […]
High Winds, Haifoss, Iceland
Iceland tends to be immensely windy; on this particular day, it was a red wind warning (67 MPH), and you can see the spray on the waterfall. While taking this photo, I almost lost my camera in the ravine due to the high winds and the nature of the shooting location. Stitched panoramic, shot in […]
