This is a view from the Douro River in Portugal. Not far from Porto. The terrain is steep and rugged. It was a calm day so I was able to get nice reflections in the water of the bridge.
Trail 3 in Turkey Run State Park was the highlight of the day, and by chance, was the trail I hiked first. Good thing too, because I was there early in the morning and their were no crowds. It was perhaps one of the more interesting hikes I've done in Indiana. There were a few people hiking near me, but when they met up with this portion of the trail, they turned back, much to my delight! :)

Snowdon Mountain in Wales is rugged and magnificent. I love the views throughout Wales but I'm really drawn to the rugged mountain terrain of Snowdon. Better yet, take the train up the mountain and be amazed. (Edited in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz)
Not all Australia's "outback" is flat. The rock formation on the left of the photo is known by locals as the Great Wall of China. I think you'll be able to see why. It is located in the west of the Northern Territory, Australia, near the border with Western Australia,
Happy weekend!

Finally i found some time to go through my latest photos, almost 1,5 month after I took them. It was a weekend with nice weather so I felt like Maine's shoreline was calling me. And I answered. After spending a day at Ogunquit's beach, I headed a little north to visit Kennenbunkport and walk around its cute little downtown area. As I was enjoying a slice of pizza from a local restaurant, I read about a Blowing Cave park, a place with rocky shore and crushing waves. Didn't have to think twice since I had all my photo gear with me. I devoured the pizza and 10 minutes later I was there, enjoying this magnificent place. The waves were rumbling below me as I could feel salty droplets on my face. The mansion you see in this photo, named Walker's Point Estate, is the summer retreat of Bush family. During Georg H.W. Bush presidency, this mansion was considered to be the Summer White house. The coastline is beautiful and the view along Ocean ave is very scenic.

After the not so spectacular sunset at the Seceda (maybe I have one image which I do like which I might upload later), we went down to our cabin to sleep a few hours before hiking up again for sunrise. Waking up at 4 a.m. we started our steep hike to the top through thick mist and I started to think that the sunrise also won’t be great. As it turned out, I was completely wrong since the mist started to disappear very quickly right before reached the top. Even though I was out of breath, I started to run the last bit to the top to catch some of the last mist, but there wasn’t much left when I arrived. The sun was also still behind the mountains in the distance and so I took a few images and waited for the sun to peek above the mountains. Although the dense fog had disappeared, there was still some thin mist hanging in the air that looked really nice once the sun shone through, where I also closed the aperture in order to get a sunstar. It’s hard to convey the beauty of this impressive location, but I hope this image somehow does it justice. I hope you like it!
“We need wild places because they remind us of the world beyond the human…the experience of landscapes can give people a sense of bigness outside themselves that has now in some way been lost.”
Wallace Stegner.
ITALIANO
““i luoghi selvaggi ci sono necessari perchè ci ricordano di un mondo al di là dell’umano. Foreste, pianure, praterie, deserti, montagne: l’esperienza di questi paesaggi può ispirare alla gente il sentimento di una grandezza esterna all’uomo, un sentimento che oggi è andato quasi del tutto perduto.”
Wallace Stegner, La lettera del deserto
