She crosses the old wooden bridge, wrapped in the soft morning mist. No rush, no crowd—just a quiet moment to herself.
For a long time I had this impressive sandstone formation in Palatinate Forest on my bucket list. In October 2025 I finally had the chance to shoot it in quite a nice autumn condition. Nevertheless, the sky was very demanding but at the end I liked it enough to show it. A truly mystic location, worth coming back some day.

What up everyone! Hope all you guys are doing well out there! It's been awhile since I've posted over here but everything is going good! Just laying low, living, and working on images!
I made this image last fall while wandering the forests of the Netherlands. I can't even begin to tell you guys how awesome the forests are down there! Amazing woodlands with dancing trees and mushrooms galore!
View from the rooftops of Lacoste, a charming village in the Luberon, Provence, France. The image captures the old stone tiles, the bell tower, and the vast Provençal landscape under a dramatic sky. The textures and lighting highlight the authentic charm of rural southern France.
I published a version of this photograph last year, which managed to make it onto Explore, for which I am very grateful. Since then however, I've spotted a number of elements about the way I processed it that bugged me.
This was taken on the same morning as the photo I uploaded and is actually some fifteen to twenty minutes before the previous one.

Just as the sun dipped behind the hills, Lundbreck Falls gave me this moment — bold, moody, and powerful. The stillness of the snow clinging to the rock contrasted beautifully with the unstoppable movement of the water. A subtle glow lit the clouds, giving the whole scene a cinematic weight.
There’s a feeling here — like nature pausing mid-breath. The bridge in the distance, the storm-rolled sky, the ice beginning to melt… it all felt suspended.
Shot handheld in natural light. The goal was to balance motion with texture, holding onto the shadows without crushing the flow of the water.

I had a lot of waiting for the fog to clear sufficiently to get an image of the river but sadly it did not. I got a few of Thurne Wind pump in the foggy conditions before the long journey home.
The first light touches the Julian Alps above Zelenci Springs.
The air was still, the water frozen in silence — a fleeting moment before the valley awakened.
What's up everyone?!?!? Hope all of you guys are doing well out there! I can't complain....everything is going aye ok!
Today I sharing something different. A landscape that is wild that doesn't see many visitors. Its a raw and wild landscape that lays in the Eastern Andes of Colombia. Yes....Colombia!
Colombia….where to begin? I made my first visit to Colombia in 2022 and that visit was incredible! It was such a humbling trip in so many ways. Not only was it emotionally humbling, but as a photographer seeing a completely new and fresh landscape was just incredible, exciting and refreshing! I've had the opportunity now to have made 2 visits to Colombia, and eagerly waiting to make more visits in the future!
The colors linger, but the light is long gone.
The land exhales — quiet, brittle, waiting for frost.
Shot just before dusk when everything felt between seasons and smelled like nordic noir, tried to go into the feeling of True Detectives - the good season I mean
Funny how approx 1 month between, a bit different lightning and a bit different edit produces totally different outcome.
Here as a comparison: flic.kr/p/2rxwjpf
A lone, leafless tree stands quietly by the roadside, facing an endless stretch of fields under a brooding sky. The dramatic clouds and muted light set a contemplative mood — as if nature is holding its breath before the rain arrives. A frame that speaks of solitude, resilience, and the timeless beauty of rural landscapes.
My last photograph showed heather season at its height at the start of August. The bloom is fleeting and just over a month later, the heather has begun to dull, leaving just a few purple sprigs amongst a sea of burgundy.
September has seen the return of moody skies, the remnants of hurricanes sending their turbulent air across the Atlantic. After a mid-summer of high pressure and clear blue skies, I am very pleased to see this change, as the light tends to be more varied with the chance for absolute magic.
On this day I didn't quite get magical light, or much light at all for that matter, but I got atmosphere in spades and had a go at a composition I've seen shot before. Definitely one to return to.
A mesmerizing view of the Alpine peaks in silhouette, bathed in warm orange and pink hues of sunset. This tranquil scene captures the serene beauty of dusk, offering a moment of reflection and calm in the heart of nature
Very foggy morning on Driftwood Beach - Jekyll Island Georiga USA. Spooky tree with bare branches reflection on the tide water of the ocean
hat up everyone out there! Hope all of you guys are doing great! Oooooo weee! Where to even begin! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted on social media! I have been crazy busy and haven’t had much time to post anything new, but here we are!
One of many new images that I’ve been working on in my recent travels. This one’s comes from the icy waters of the Southern Ocean….Antartica. Yup, that’s right, Antartica! Just wow! I honestly am trying to digest everything that I saw on my visit. Everything is just big down there. A complete frozen planet that feels wild and untouched, massive mountains and extraordinary glaciers. It’s truly a remarkable place.
This one was taken during my last trip to Iceland, nearly three years back. The weather was absolutely terrible that day, which was probably normal for Iceland in March, but it made for some really great photography in my opinion.
This is a panorama stitched from three landscape-oriented photos, not my usual workflow, but I had envisioned this as a long-skinny sort of panorama and went for it.
Thanks for looking!
Captured on a winding road to Guatapé, Colombia, this lone cow stood like a guardian over the cloud-kissed mountains. The morning fog wrapped around the hills like smoke rising from the earth, and for a moment, time stood still. There was something both eerie and sacred about the scene — as if nature herself had paused to let me witness it.
Shot in black and white to honor the quiet intensity of the moment, this image holds the spirit of rural Colombia: wild, weathered, and full of unspoken poetry.
Happy Monday everyone ✨
The start of a new week always holds a quiet kind of magic. There’s something peaceful about early light brushing over the hills, painting the sky in shades of calm. These moments remind me to slow down and breathe in the beauty around me.
Hi people, I’m Tonny Froyen from Norway — a creator who sees storytelling in light, shadows, and sky. I use photography to reflect how nature can shape our mood, lift us up, and gently push us forward.
Mondays don’t have to be about hustle. They can be about intention. About seeing beauty in the small things and being grateful for what’s already here.

The full moon glows brightly behind the stark silhouette of bare tree branches, creating a haunting yet peaceful nighttime composition. Captured in black and white, this image evokes a quiet, dreamlike mood—highlighting the contrast between nature’s sharp winter geometry and the moon’s soft illumination.
What up everyone! Hope all you guys out there are doing well, and had a great New Year! I am back and in full affect from my autumn travels and working my butt of throughout the rest of the year....whew. I finally have some free time to myself and can start sharing images again.
I'll start by sharing this image that I captured this past fall while visiting the bayou. Each year I try to come up with something different while I am visiting the area. I do get lucky occasionally but on this particular morning I was really working these pointy cypress knees in an area that I've tried to capture many times before and failed. I like this particular scene with the cypress knees in the foreground along with moody background with its autumn colors and subtle reflection.
A gnarled tree stands sentinel on a rugged New Zealand beach, its twisted branches reaching toward a sky set ablaze by a vivid green aurora. Nature’s raw beauty and mystery collide — where darkness meets the dreamlike glow of the southern night.
What's up everyone! Hope you guys are all doing well and getting prepared for summer.....my least favorite time of the year😤 Before I continue with my commentary, I want to thank EVERYONE that sent me birthday wishes yesterday! I greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much!
The timing of my latest set of images from my travels to Antartica seems timely. Today I am releasing the entire collection of images from Antartica. I don't even know where to begin, or even how to describe my visit to the bottom of the world....literally.
Antarctica felt like another world. The continent is remote, raw, and impossibly still. The landscape was quiet and lonely, yet alive. To be honest, it was kinda creepy, but so beautiful. From the moment I first laid eyes on the outer islands of Antartica, I was struck by the feeling that I was trespassing in some sacred, secret place. Antartica is a frozen desert that is completely covered in snow and ice. The landscape is monochromatic completely void of trees and vegetation. There were mountains and jagged peaks in every direction. The glaciers and mountains seem to jet out from the sea and rise to thousands of feet into the air. The glaciers spilled down the sides of the mountains as if they were moving in slow motion. I was in absolute awe of the sheer scale of it all. Icebergs.... some as tall as skyscrapers would drift past our ship like a silent floating fortresses. Each one seemed to carry a story, carved by wind and time.
Antartica was full of texture. The ice, the mountains, the icebergs.....TEXTURE MADNESS! In one direction, the ice was smooth as glass, naturally polished by design, in the other, the ice would be fractured and jagged that resembled shattered crystal. Even in stillness, the landscape seemed to shift and breathe. The atmosphere felt otherworldly and surreal. To put it simply the light just hits different that far south! Above the landscape, the skies were dramatic and moody. Even on days that were somewhat sunny, the light would have this silvery tone to it, which was still nice to photograph in, but had a certain type of luminance that was different than any place I had visited. WOW!
Visiting and photographing the continent of Antartica stirred something in me I didn’t expect. I felt small, but not insignificant. I felt a kind of quiet reverence, like I was witnessing something eternal. It reminded me how vast the world is, how powerful and patient nature can be, and how rare it is to feel truly present.
