Captured in Botswana's legendary Okavango Delta during peak flooding season (May 2025).
This UNESCO World Heritage Site transforms from arid Kalahari landscape into Africa's largest inland delta, creating temporary wetlands that support incredible biodiversity. The composition uses the acacia trees as natural leading lines, drawing the eye through the flooded grasslands toward the distant tree line. The mirror-perfect water creates symmetrical reflections, doubling the visual impact. Shot at eye level to emphasize the intimate scale of this vast wilderness.
This pristine ecosystem relies on seasonal flooding from Angola's highlands, traveling 1,200km to reach the delta. Climate change threatens this delicate cycle, making documentation of these landscapes increasingly important for conservation awareness.
A long-legged fly perches at the edge of green, still as thought.
Fun fact: These tiny predators help control aphid populations, making them unsung heroes of the garden.
The sun leans gently into the horizon, painting the dunes in liquid gold. A woman stands still, rooted like an ancient tree, yet light as wind. Her silhouette dances with the fading light, a quiet hymn to the setting day. The sand cradles her steps, tracing stories soon to be swept away by the whispers of the evening breeze.
In this fleeting moment, time dissolves. The mountains bow in the distance, and the sky hums softly, wrapping the earth in warmth. The delicate lace that adorns her moves like petals in the air – fragile, yet woven with strength. She stands not against nature, but with it, becoming a thread in the vast, eternal fabric of land and sky.
This is not merely sunset; it is a symphony of stillness. In the heart of Florianópolis, where the dunes stretch like ocean waves, the ordinary melts into the extraordinary. The dance of shadow and light leaves behind an unspoken truth – that beauty exists in the quiet, the pause, the breath between one step and the next.

O sol repousa suavemente no horizonte, pintando as dunas com ouro líquido. Uma mulher permanece imóvel, enraizada como uma árvore antiga, mas leve como o vento. Sua silhueta dança com a luz que se apaga, um hino silencioso ao dia que se despede. A areia acolhe seus passos, traçando histórias que logo serão apagadas pelos sussurros da brisa noturna.
Nesse instante fugaz, o tempo se dissolve. As montanhas se curvam à distância, e o céu canta baixo, envolvendo a terra em calor. A renda delicada que a veste se move como pétalas no ar – frágil, mas tecida com força. Ela não está contra a natureza, mas com ela, tornando-se um fio no vasto e eterno tecido entre terra e céu.
Este não é apenas um pôr do sol; é uma sinfonia de quietude. No coração de Florianópolis, onde as dunas se estendem como ondas do mar, o ordinário se dissolve no extraordinário. A dança de luz e sombra deixa uma verdade não dita – a beleza existe no silêncio, na pausa, na respiração entre um passo e o próximo.

When Earth Wore the Colors of Venus
As twilight embraced Montezuma Pass, I turned my lens toward the quiet horizon—Mexico resting beneath the breath of dusk. There it was: the Belt of Venus, a delicate blush of rose-pink caressing the edge of the world, wrapped above the deepening Earth’s shadow—a quiet blue veil cast by our own planet upon its sky.
This ethereal belt forms when sunlight scatters through Earth’s atmosphere, reflecting from the opposite horizon just as the Sun dips below it. The pink hue arises from backscattered reddened sunlight, while the darker band beneath is the Earth’s umbra, slowly rising as night claims the day.
Between these two—light and shadow—the heavens whisper of cycles eternal: dusk to dawn, day to night, and the tender reminder that even Earth casts beauty in its own shadow.
Captured with Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 70–200mm lens, on a Manfrotto tripod, overlooking the Mexico side of Montezuma Pass, Arizona, USA, while awaiting the Beaver Supermoon’s rise.
