Deep Inside The Mountain, Gljufrabui, 249, 861, South Iceland
What an incredible experience it was to photograph Gljufrabui Falls, which is hidden inside a cave. The weather outside was cool in September, and while I was dressed for the exterior conditions, the cave itself was icy cold. I had to carefully navigate the slippery rocks, which were covered in algae, making it challenging to […]
The Light at Laughing Falls, Yoho National Park, BC, Canada
I visited Yoho National Park in British Columbia on the last day of a father-son trip to the Canadian Rockies. The itinerary for each day was largely the same: wake up, pack a day bag, hike, take in the beautiful mountain scenery, return to the hotel, eat a delicious dinner, sleep, and repeat. It was […]
Calf Creek Morning Light, Lower Calf Creek Falls, Boulder, Utah, USA
I set out on the Lower Calf Creek Falls trail in the spring, just after sunrise, on my first journey to these falls. It had been snowing the day before, and a light dusting still covered portions of the trail that did not get much sunlight. The 3-mile hike to the falls was majestic, giving […]
Ruiwaka Resurgence, Nelson, Tasman, New Zealand
I have often visited this place, looking for that light, and never found it. This trip, I wanted to go earlier before the sun illuminated the area, as I was looking for mist and mood, which I had never seen photographed here before. I was fortunate to have the entire place to myself, so I […]
Mossbrae Falls Detail, Dunsmuir, Siskiyou County, USA
Mossbrae Falls is a series of waterfalls along the upper Sacramento River within the city limits of Dunsmuir, CA. The waterfalls extend approximately 175 ft (53 m) along the river, fed by springs located along the 50 ft (15 m) high riverbank. The name “Mossbrae” refers to the abundant moss on the riverbank, and “brae”, […]
Lower Yellowstone Falls, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA
In the fall of 2010, while my wife and I were taking a walk, I found myself thinking about how we had recently become empty-nesters and how that would simplify our travel opportunities. I asked her if she could visit anywhere she wanted to in the next year, where would that be? After a couple […]
Hot Masonic Temple, Livingston, Park County, Montana, USA
Drove over to Livingston, MT, on a sunny day, late afternoon, to try out my new Q3. There was a lot of beautiful architecture and shadows, but this one was particularly special.
Sunset at Kakabeka Falls, Ontario, Canada
On a special evening after a visit to Thunder Bay, Ontario, I spent that weekend with my significant other to celebrate our anniversary a few months early. We met here at Kakabeka Falls for the first time in 2023, and since then, it has been a special place for us both. The atmosphere smelled of […]
Natural Beauty, Josefsthaler Waterfall, Schliersee, Bavaria, Germany
This photo was taken during a trip to the Josefsthaler Waterfall. The camera was mounted on a tripod set up in the middle of the stream. By using a neutral density filter and a longer exposure time, the water appears soft and flowing, while the surrounding landscape remains sharp. I chose a low perspective to […]
Mount Kailash North Face, Dirapuk, Tibet
So much has been written about this mountain peak that the material can fill the Library of Congress, figuratively. Not delving into the spiritual aspect of this mountain, it is a massive peak with an elevation of 22,000 feet above sea level, but it is dwarfed by other peaks in the world, such as Mount […]
