Sun Rays Piercing Through Zoomland Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands
Zoomland, a forest situated next to the town of Bergen op Zoom in the Netherlands, is a place I love to visit on weekdays, as early as possible. The crowds of weekend visitors have gone, and it’s lovely to walk amongst the wide avenues of beech trees, especially in spring when the air is crisp. […]
Flooded Forest, Mekedatu, Kanakapura, India
Forest in the floodplain of the River Cauvery. Because of regular flooding, floodplains frequently have high soil fertility since nutrients are deposited with the floodwaters. This is an early morning view of the forest.
Through An Arboreal Screen, Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
Since my family and I moved to Vancouver Island from our home on Salt Spring Island almost three years ago, we have enjoyed many leisurely day trips, oftentimes simply meandering along the scenic country roads in Cowichan Valley, where serene natural landscapes and verdant terrain await us amid farmland, vineyards, and rolling hills. Here, on […]

A Way Down, Mt Washington, Courtenay, Vancouver Island, Canada
I often drive the back roads of Mt. Washington looking for good or great landscapes that say something. On this summer day, I came across an opening in the forest that suggested a way to walk down the mountain. After walking around the opening, I picked this spot to capture this beautiful scene of a […]
Morning Over Watsons Creek, Christmas Hills, Victoria, Australia
This photo, taken not far from my home, captures, for me, the essence of much of what I love about Australian eucalyptus forests. A Swiss friend once described Australian bush as “..a mess.” And it is unlike the forests of Europe; it is not orderly or tidy. The trees are surrounded at their base by […]
Misty Morning At Trillium Lake, Oregon, USA
This shot was taken during a fall trip to Trillium Lake, a well-known spot near Mount Hood—the famous volcano located just outside Portland, Oregon. While this location is usually crowded in the summer, it is much quieter in the fall, especially if you arrive early to capture the landscape’s beauty. I was rewarded for my […]
February Forest Sunset, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada
After what felt like an endlessly grey and rainy winter in the Lower Mainland, I was itching to strap on my snowshoes and crunch around under a sunny blue sky on a trail, so I hopped a bus out of the Lower Mainland up into the mountains around Whistler with my snowshoes, laptop, and cameras. […]
Stojna Forest, Kocevje, Slovenia
This location is near my hometown. I have been here countless times and never bothered to stop and look for compositions to photograph. This particular morning, I was driving nearby looking for fungi to photograph and stopped because the fog had just come into the forest and created this special, dark, and mystic atmosphere. Then […]
