A Welsh Jungle Experience, Blaen-y-glyn, Brecon Beacons, Wales
During our holiday in Wales, one of our first walks was in the area of Blaen-y-glyn, where Komoot recommended a nice “round trip” with plenty of opportunities for waterfalls and – obviously – also very old and natural forest areas. This particular place looked like a Jungle, an old forest in the middle of Wales, […]
Dyrholaey Cliffs, Towards Vik, Iceland
Having climbed up onto Dyrholaey Cliffs with the wind gusting and dark clouds overhead, the early photographs on this afternoon in February portrayed a forbidding ocean with much drama. As the afternoon wore on, the clouds receded, and the sun’s rays coming over my right shoulder started to bathe the bay below in soft light. […]
Ross Errilly Friary, Headford, County Galway, Ireland
The photo shows Ross Errilly Friary in Ireland, one of the best-preserved medieval Franciscan monastic sites in the country. The ruins rise majestically from a green meadow, and a dramatic sky spreads over them in warm sunset hues that fade to cooler purple-blue hues. The stone walls and distinctive tower of the friary emphasise the […]
Towards Vik From Dyrholaey Cliffs, Iceland
On a windy February afternoon, it was a struggle to protect the camera on its tripod as the wind gusted from the southwest. Having climbed up to the clifftop, it seemed prudent to stay in that area, shooting towards the east rather than exploring the southwest side. The clouds were heavy at the beginning of […]
Tahquamenon Falls At Sunset, Tahquamenon Falls State Park, Michigan, USA
I ventured to many areas in one day and ended the day by making my last run to Tahquamenon Falls. As I parked my car, I made haste to the waterfalls, wondering where it was, and soon after, I heard it from a distance. Following the much-needed directional signs, I got closer to the sounds, […]
Portrait Of An Old Tree, Falkenhagener Lake, Falkensee, Germany
During a visit to my father, who lives near Berlin, I took an extensive stroll around the Falkenhagener lake, which is located near the town of Falkensee, west of Berlin. The lake has some interesting shoreline to offer, and a little bit away from that shoreline, quite old trees can be found. This area has […]
Underground Wonder Fall, Gljufrabui, South Iceland
I must confess that I have always had claustrophobia and a fear of darkness. To capture a proper image of the fall in Gljufrabui, one must be comfortable in these conditions. I found myself standing in ice water, enveloped in a thick frozen mist, while trying to get close enough to balance the difficult lighting […]
House On The Hill, Shinness, Sutherland, Scotland
Sutherland is full of old ruined crofts and buildings, but it took a while to capture one with a suitable tree. The weather was pretty bad, with frequent rain showers, but that actually improved the sky as the sun broke through. I used my full-spectrum converted EM1 with a 950nm IR filter to get the […]
Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus), Romania
Looking carefully for a significant amount of time at the place where I knew there were two rabbits, you could get the impression, rightly so, that a single rabbit stands guard over the whole sea of green. Becoming more courageous over time and seeing no danger lurking around, a second head slowly starts to pop […]
Felixstowe, Suffolk, England
I had tried to get this photo 3 times. The first time I got the tides wrong and turned up at low tide. The second it was foggy and drizzling you couldn’t see the end of the groins. The third time was a last-minute decision, myself and a friend had decided to go late the […]
