In the heart of Northern Europe, I've been discovering the wonders of the world, one frame at a time. For nearly eight years, my Nikon camera has been my loyal companion. We've shared countless sunrises and sunsets, braved storms, and celebrated the quiet peace of a snowfall. This camera isn't just a piece of equipment to me; it's an extension of myself, a tangible piece of my soul that lets me capture the world as I see it.

The little, lone tree watched from its fated spot as seasons came, and seasons passed; crops were planted, and crops were harvested. Humans would come, and humans would go. Birds would keep the little tree company, only to fly away as the seasons changed. Clouds would drift overhead, only to disappear over the horizon.
Seasons came, and seasons passed; and came, and passed. And the little, lone tree watched silently, rooted and permanent in the tiny, ever-changing field it knew as home.

this is my favorite spot - besides riding my Harley it's a place in Mayport FL where I can tune out and find peace- this day in Feb 2014 all the visuals came together- when I got home to edit this photo- it helped me decide to make a better life for myself - life changing!
There's nothing more magical than dawn. The early morning sunlight that invades the skies and spreads throughout the world.
Every sunrise is a poem written on the Earth with words of light, warmth, and love. A glimpse of hope for a better day and a more peaceful world.
A tranquil black-and-white analog photograph capturing a misty rural landscape. The scene evokes a sense of mystery and solitude. Shot on APX 100 / Fomapan film with a Minolta Dynax 700si, the image is unedited, highlighting the timeless beauty of analog photography.
(I upped the camera's ISO setting for this shot.)
We recently returned from a trip to Southeast Asia, with our first stop in the vibrant city of Kuala Lumpur. We had only two nights there, so I was determined to make the most of my chance to photograph the majestic towers. Not too long ago, they held the title of tallest buildings in the world. That time has firmly passed, but interestingly—though not visible in this photo—Kuala Lumpur is now home to the second tallest building in the world.
I decided to leave the neighboring building in the photo... just for some framing and context. perhaps in later versions i will only show the city scape... what do you think?
KL, like many major cities, offers a fascinating mix of cultures and energies. I highly recommend stepping away from the dramatic, majestic business district to explore the neighborhood markets, where the city’s everyday rhythm truly comes alive.
“I SEE YOU” was used as a greeting on Pandora in the movie Avatar.
A unique and phenomenal meeting with a great white egret is a memorable encounter.
Sharing the beauty of such a wonderful natural trekker and graceful creature, in a moment of peace.
This evocative black-and-white image captures the raw energy and heritage of a traditional camel race in the UAE. Riders, poised with purpose, guide their camels along the dirt track under the desert sun. Camel racing is more than a sport in Arabia — it’s a cultural institution that reflects centuries of Bedouin tradition, endurance, and deep-rooted pride. These races once symbolized tribal prestige and are now celebrated in modern arenas with robotic jockeys and global spectatorship. Your photo beautifully preserves this transition between past and present, paying tribute to the region’s enduring connection with its desert-born legacy.
Yesterday started with torrential rain and then the sun shone. At about 4 pm there was an enormous storm with lightening flashing across the marina followed by loud claps of thunder and then the sun came out again. The day ended with the above angry orange and black clouds over Brighton and calm blue skies over the marina. A bit like the state of politics across the UK!
A quiet, foggy road disappearing into the mist, surrounded by dark silhouettes of trees. Captured on Minolta Dynax 700si with Agfa APX 100 film for a timeless, moody atmosphere.
In the heart of Tbilisi’s Liberty Square, time seems to slow. Pigeons perch gracefully upon an ornate fountain, their stillness contrasting with the quiet murmur of life unfolding nearby. Golden lion heads and intricate carvings tell stories of grandeur, while lush greenery frames the scene like a living canvas. On a bench, two souls share a tranquil moment, embodying the harmony between history and everyday life. This square, once the stage of revolutions and celebrations, now whispers serenity. Here, the essence of Georgia reveals itself—resilient, graceful, and forever flowing like water from its timeless fountains.
Scenic framing of a prominent sand dune and desert hill sloping down towards the water, showcasing the vast and arid nature of the surrounding desert, which extends close to the river in this region. The water reflects the clear blue sky above, which dominates the upper portion of the image.
On the crest of the hill, a series of rock cut tombs - the Tombs of the Nobles - usually called the tombs of Qubat El Hawa, are
carved into sandstone cliffs overlooking the Nile River. An historical and archaeological significant landmark. This meeting of the desert and the river has historically been crucial for Egyptian civilization.
A bird in flight, possibly a seagull, adds a dynamic element to the scene, providing a sense of scale and natural life within this unique ecosystem.
Shot from Aswan west bank, capturing the dramatic juxtaposition of water and desert, fertility and aridity, that defines the landscape along the Nile. A striking contrast between the verdant banks of the Nile River and the arid desert landscape.
A walk along Englands Coastal Path this morning. I intended walking to Rottingdean but I decided I’d have to swim back so turned round and went home.
This morning Black Rock beach was busy with fishermen, brightly coloured tents and rods on stands. I'm told the plaice are a great catch at the moment.
