Clearing Storm At Monument Valley, Navajo County, Arizona, USA

On a photography trip to the Southwest U.S. in early 2025, I spent a couple of nights at Monument Valley, which straddles the Arizona-Utah border and is managed by the Navajo Nation. While there, a storm passed through, leaving a dusting of snow in the morning and epic cloud formations in the afternoon. I took […]

Lush Green Valley, Leh, Ladakh, India

Lush Green Valley, Leh, Ladakh, India

When driving on a mountainous road at a considerable altitude, it is difficult to anticipate what will appear at the next lookout around the corner. This was one such instance during our drive when we were surprised to see a lush valley with a healthy human settlement in the midst of the wilderness surrounding us. […]

Beautiful Emmental Valley, Schallenberg Pass, Emmental Oberaargau, Bern, Switzerland

When driving to the Schallenberg Pass (1168m), a mountain pass connecting Marbach and Steffisburg, I was captivated by a wonderful landscape before reaching the highest point: the Emmental valley.

Crested Butte Gold, Gunnison County, Colorado, USA

We had been wanting to do a fall Colorado trip for a few years. The stars just didn’t seem to align for us, and even this year, we thought we were a week too late for the peak color. Most of the Aspen trees we passed had more bare branches than leaves. That is, until […]

The Livornese coast is one of the places that lends itself best to this kind of photography. It is a location to which I keep returning, always keeping an eye on the weather.

Morning On Balestrand, Sognefjord, Vestland, Norway

The Magpie Beauty, Sao Mamede De Infesta, Matosinhos, Oporto, Portugal

The magpie is the most beautiful bird found in the parks in the region where I live. Its black breast, large greenish tail, and the sounds it makes – “tchak-tchak-tchak” – make it unmistakable. It regularly visits my garden. In this image, it seems to be looking at me, but no, because I wasn’t there. […]

The low clouds were moving quickly, clinging to the mountains and mingling with the morning mist. The light struggled […]

Snow Day At Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, USA

The Grand Canyon is an amazing place to visit any time of year, but it is absolutely magical in the winter after a snowstorm. I was on a planned photography trip to Sedona in early February when a snowstorm passed through northern Arizona. A friend offered to drive me up to the Grand Canyon, an […]
