Silence, Shadows, and Light, Ladakh, India
Shadows of clouds play hide and seek over the mountain, which is situated at an elevation of 15,000 feet. The air has practically no pollution, making it ideal for stargazing and photography. As someone eloquently described this place, and I quote, “You would be forgiven for assuming the high Himalayan sun at midday would paint […]
Imposing Peaks At Aaeschi, Wasseramt, Solothurn, Switzerland
When I visited Aeschi last September, I encountered a unique landscape. On one side, there was the large Lake Thun with its bluish waters, and on the other, the imposing peaks of Meiehori (1865m) and Glogghore (1984m). These peaks rise abruptly in the landscape and are covered with conifers almost to the top. The view […]
Image Lake Basin, Glacier Peak Wilderness, Washington, USA
Washington State is home to some of the most impressive mountain landscapes in the continental United States. Its mountains have been deeply carved by glaciers, resulting in incised valleys, hanging cirques, and lakes perched near ridge tops that offer striking vistas of glacier-clad peaks. The Glacier Peak Wilderness, located in northern Washington, is no exception […]
Upper Campbell Lake Small Island, Vancouver Island, Canada
I often visit this area. The Campbell Lakes offer many photo opportunities, On this day I was standing on the Strathcona Dam, which separates the Lower Campbell Lake from the Upper Campbell Lake. Looking down the Upper Campbell Lake, and spotting this little island, I knew I had to capture the image. As I forget […]
Desertscape, Stovepipe Wells, Death Valley National Park, CA, USA
Stovepipe Wells is a small town located at the northern edge of the park, just a few miles from the famous Mesquite Flat sand dunes and other places of interest.

Crimson Passage Old Bridge, Borgo Stremiz, Faedis, Udine, Italy
A weathered stone arch is situated within a forested landscape shaped by gradual natural processes. Rock formations, vegetation, and structure are presented with visual restraint, allowing material qualities and spatial relationships to define the scene. Within the predominantly subdued tonal range, a small grouping of red leaves on a moss-covered stone introduces a controlled chromatic […]
Suspended In Silence, Torre Del Lago, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy
A thin branch emerges from the still water, like the last guardian of an ancient silence. The haze blurs the horizon into soft, luminous tones, dissolving the boundaries between the sky and its reflection. Every detail seems suspended in time. The absolute stillness of the water, the fragility of the now-dried leaves, and the light […]
Rolling Hills During Harvest, Palouse, Washington, USA

Also, the shadows created across the fields of grain add to the textures. I would like to return in spring-summer to photograph all the shades of green that cover this beautiful place. Palouse is located […]
