The sun dips slowly behind the rugged peaks of the Caramulo Mountains, spilling molten gold and amber across the valleys below. Shadows stretch and curl, folding the hills into quiet mystery, while the sky blazes with colors that seem almost too vivid to be real. In this fleeting moment, the world feels suspended between day and night, a gentle pause where time itself seems to breathe. The mountains stand eternal, guardians of the fading light, as if whispering secrets only the wind can carry.
Excerpt from booking.com:
The Kulm Hotel St. Moritz is a luxurious hotel with a special history. Johannes Badrutt founded the property in 1856, and laid the foundation stone for winter tourism. Since then, the Kulm Hotel has been characterized by its style and authenticity.
Every room features views of the impressive mountainscape, of Lake St. Moritz to the south, and the spectacular southern flanks of Piz Nair and other enticing parts of the Corviglia region to the north.
The Kulm Hotel has always practiced the high art of refined gourmet cuisine and features 5 restaurants with various offers, ranging from carefully prepared local specialties to international haute cuisine.
The completely renovated Kulm Spa St. Moritz stretches out over 21,500 ft², and features a lavish pool, whirlpool, children’s pool, open-air pool, Kneipp footpath, salt grotto, steam bath, a sauna world and a fitness center with the latest equipment.
The hotel has its own 9-hole golf course, including a driving range, putting green, golf academy with a pro, as well as 3 tennis courts. In winter, guests can enjoy the the hotel’s own ice skating and curling rink, and the legendary Bob and Cresta Run.

I use fine art photographic print, the sum of photography and art. Fine art use special paper and pigments that last over 100 years, without a change. Each photo is placed between a thick cardboard museum and a quality passapartout, all materials free of acids for a museum standards' archivial, to guarantee quality unchanged over time. A special protective spray is applyed on the surface, to avoid dust and moisture. A dedicated certificate of authenticity with an hologram, pairs with an other one on the back of the print, where you will find the print run and my signature, to complete the set.
A picture like this, becomes a special gift that connects entire generations, friends, distant relatives.
Hidden in the rugged mountains of northern Portugal, Peneda-Gerês National Park is a wild mosaic of granite peaks, crystal-clear rivers, ancient forests, and tiny stone villages that seem frozen in time. It’s the country’s only national park — a place where nature and tradition coexist in perfect balance.
From the misty heights of Serra da Peneda to the deep valleys of Rio Lima and Cávado, the park offers endless trails, waterfalls like Cascata do Arado, roaming wild Garrano horses, and centuries-old Roman roads still visible underfoot.
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.

This silver Proof medal is one of 52 produced by the Birmingham Mint. It is a tribute to The Queen's Royal Regiment, West Surrey. On the reverse of the coin the scene depicted is from the 1st Afghan War 1838-1842, with the Battle of Khelat 1839 in specific. On the obverse of the coin are the words ' 1st Afghan War, Capture of Khelat, 1839'.
There is obvious toning to both sides of the coin. It comes encased in its original Birmingham Mint case, and is accompanied by a Paschal Lamb pin, the badge of the 2nd Regiment of Foot from the Queen's Royal Regiment. It comes with its original Certificate of Authenticity (COA), which has a slight crease along the front.
The road winds through Portugal’s breathtaking countryside — golden plains, mountain ridges, and hidden rivers waiting to be discovered. Each turn offers a new story, a new scent of pine or ocean air. Adventure isn’t a destination here; it’s the journey itself, written across the vast landscapes and quiet villages of this beautiful land.
Standing on the ridge, watching the wind roll through the valley, it feels like the world just keeps going — horizon after horizon, cloud after cloud. The turbines turn quietly in the distance, a reminder of how far we’ve come and how much more there is ahead.
This view is more than a landscape; it’s a moment of stillness that whispers possibility — of journeys not yet taken, and ideas still forming on the edge of the sky.
The authenticity of this building is in question in my mind. It is an old building. But, was it originally the J. A. Wall Store established in 1906? I rather doubt it. If it was, it has had the unfortunate history of being called something stupid like the Old Time Store. Right now it's just a falling down repository of junk. Seen on US 704, Stokes County.

Authenticity of character is widely admired yet rarely do we labor towards it. Many are tainted with layers of facade, as result we seldom reveal our true-self to others and become lonely and self conscious.
Are you lonely? Are you authentic?
The notion of authenticity, here, is ambiguous. Both ironic and actual a cloud is, indeed a nebula however it isn't a nebula in astronomical terms. The ambiguity extends into the process of photomanipulation, where a cloud (actual) is edited to resemble an astronomical nebula (ironic or representational).
Furthermore, from a Postmodern perspective, authenticity becomes a representation of authenticity which creates an immediate ambiguity. If something that is real, genuine, is not real and genuine then how are we to understand what is real and what is false?

A Ruela de Entrecercas, no coração histórico de Santiago de Compostela, ilustra a adaptação da arquitetura vernácula ao clima atlântico e a evolução do tecido urbano medieval. O seu nome remete à localização original entre as muralhas da cidade. Os edifícios altos em granito, com galerias envidraçadas verdes características, protegem do clima húmido e captam luz solar, atuando como reguladores térmicos. O pavimento em lajes de pedra e a presença de transeuntes mostram a continuidade da vida quotidiana num espaço classificado pela UNESCO, onde elementos tradicionais como as fachadas rebocadas, varandas e portadas coexistem com infraestruturas modernas, revelando a adaptação contínua do espaço às necessidades contemporâneas sem comprometer a sua autenticidade. Esta viela, parte de um complexo sistema de ruas em torno da Catedral, integra o quotidiano dos habitantes e a cidade de peregrinação.
The Ruela de Entrecercas, in the historic heart of Santiago de Compostela, illustrates the adaptation of vernacular architecture to the Atlantic climate and the evolution of the medieval urban fabric. Its name refers to its original location between the city walls. The tall granite buildings, with their characteristic green glassed-in galleries, protect against the humid climate and capture sunlight, acting as thermal regulators. The stone slab pavement and the presence of passers-by show the continuity of daily life in a UNESCO-listed space, where traditional elements such as plastered facades, balconies, and shutters coexist with modern infrastructure, revealing the continuous adaptation of the space to contemporary needs without compromising its authenticity. This alley, part of a complex system of streets around the Cathedral, is part of the daily life of the inhabitants and the city of pilgrimage.
Stavewood and wine complement each other optimally, mean authenticity, atmosphere and suitable storage climate. With a lot of heart blood and ability, Winzer dedicates itself to the implementation of atmospheric wine spaces.

In comparison to other ksour of the region, the Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou has preserved its architectural authenticity with regard to configuration and materials. The architectural style is well preserved and the earthen constructions are perfectly adapted to the climatic conditions and are in harmony with the natural and social environment
Taken @Ait-Ben-Haddou, Morocco, North Africa.
in the quiet ballet of barcelona's old town, the street becomes a stage set against an audacious pink wall. two figures move in the muted symphony of daily life; her patterned garment whispers tales of heritage against the unspoken boldness of the wall. his stride, clothed in the stark contrast of black with a swoosh as his companion, punctuates the scene with the contemporary beat of the city. side by side yet wrapped in their own narratives, they move past the silent witness of street art and closed doors. the scene is an unplanned choreography of old meets new, tradition dances with modernity, a vivid encounter of lives and colors.

Meine erste Foto-Einzelausstellung präsentiert im Café Berio, Berlin
Vernissage 31. Juli 2018 | Finissage 22. September 2018
In meiner ersten Foto-Einzelausstellung zeigte ich meine Berliner Portraits und einige meiner Vogel-Fotografien; daher der Titel der Ausstellung. In meinem Fotoprojekt wollte ich einmal weg von den sonst bewusst gewählten Orten, an denen man ein Fotoshooting durchführt. Ein Studio oder eine ausgewählte Location haben für die Menschen meist etwas sehr Unpersönliches. Ich wollte dorthin, wo es am authentischsten ist; an die Orte, an denen die Protagonisten (überwiegend Künstler) zu Hause und in ihrem Element sind: auf der Bühne, hinter der Bühne und vor, während und nach einem Auftritt bzw. Event. Ich möchte dem Betrachter Bilder zeigen, die er nicht unbedingt während einer Veranstaltung wahrnimmt und Außenstehende gefangen nehmen, als hätten sie es live miterlebt.
Über 70 Arbeiten präsentierte ich in der Ausstellung; darunter Portraits von Romy Haag, Henry de Winter, Hanna Schygulla, Georgette Dee, Dieter Rita Scholl, Gloria Viagra, Ades Zabel, Frank Wilde, Gaby Tupper und vielen anderen.
Vögel leben auf allen Kontinenten. Sie sind flüchtige, scheue Tiere. Auf meinen Fotografien lassen sie aber eine unwahrscheinliche Nähe zu. Das eigentlich Fremde und in der Natur nicht Sichtbare habe ich in meinen Vogel-Portraits festgehalten.
Mein Motto: "Authentizität ist das Schlüsselwort, das hinter meiner Fotografie steht. Ich ziehe es vor, mehr die menschliche Note zu zeigen und weniger die Retusche."
Die meisten der Exponate sind in der queeren Community entstanden.

My first solo photo exhibition presented at Café Berio, Berlin
Opening July 31, 2018 | Closing September 22, 2018
In my first solo photo exhibition, I showed my Berlin portraits and some of my bird photographs; hence the title of the exhibition. In my photo project, I wanted to get away from the usual deliberately chosen locations for a photo shoot. There is usually something very impersonal about a studio or a selected location for people. I wanted to go where it is most authentic; to the places where the protagonists (mostly artists) are at home and in their element: on stage, backstage and before, during and after a performance or event. I want to show the viewer images that they don't necessarily see during an event and capture outsiders as if they had witnessed it live.
I presented over 70 works in the exhibition, including portraits of Romy Haag, Henry de Winter, Hanna Schygulla, Georgette Dee, Dieter Rita Scholl, Gloria Viagra, Ades Zabel, Frank Wilde, Gaby Tupper and many others.
Birds live on every continent. They are elusive, shy animals. In my photographs, however, they allow an improbable closeness. I have captured what is actually alien and invisible in nature in my bird portraits.
My motto: "Authenticity is the keyword that lies behind my photography. I prefer to show more the human touch and less the retouch."
Most of the exhibits were created in the queer community.

Venice Rialto Fish Market. Campo della Pescheria, Rialto, Venice, Italy
Rialto No Se Toca means "Don't touch the fish market" in the local Venetian dialect.
The fishmongers erected this Angry Venetian Lion banner in protest against (in 2011) plans to move this historic fish market away from its prime site at the Rialto/Grande Canale to some backwater (and hence destroy trade). Fortunately, they won!
A triumph for authenticity and history over plastic tourist trash.
A plain notebook with the above words on the front cover passes from one person to the next in a roundabout way and in doing so it changes lives.

Beautiful, epic , vast .. a loving work of art and one of my favourite places to go photograph .. hope you enjoy these beautiful views of Portugals stunning countryside x
capturing an unguarded moment, this black-and-white portrait tells the story of individuality and expression. his tattooed arm, proudly displayed, becomes part of his self-expression, while his smile reveals a warmth beneath his edgy appearance. the muted background allows his personality to shine, making him the undeniable focal point. against the urban textures of palma, he stands out as a character full of contrastâsoft and fierce, carefree yet deliberate. itâs a glimpse into a life lived freely, with humor, ink, and authenticity.

Cao Bằng is one of those places you never forget. Endless mountains, a landscape that seems to breathe, pure authenticity... and people who still look at you with that mixture of surprise and curiosity of those who are not used to seeing tourists.
Of all the places I visited—and there were many—this was the one that left the deepest impression on me. I returned again and again: And the reward came in the end... because those who persevere, succeed. That morning, the fog cleared between the valleys as if the world were awakening from a dream: a scene worthy of Dragon Ball, with mountains floating among the clouds and light opening the sky like a revelation ⚡️
This image is a 360º panorama, an attempt to capture all the beauty of this corner suspended between myth and reality... a place that is not only seen, but remembered.
Would you return to a place like this... even if only to feel this once more? ✨
Where water meets land, moments linger between the ebb and flow. The shore holds stories—of tides, wind, and time—that whisper to those who pause and listen. This image captures the quiet poetry of nature, a place where reflection and serenity meet, and where every grain of sand seems alive with memory.
Burning Sky and its reflection in a rocky shore tide pool. Viewing the scene, feeling the waves, breathing the mist, watching this epic moment was much more fun than taking this shot. It was a priceless experience. To preserve the authenticity, very minor editing was made to the photo. What you see here is substantially what was in the sunset.
This site is my frequently visited one - for the ocean scene as well as for a nearby seafood restaurant - a one-stone-two-birds solution :) This scene inspired me to produce a youtube video shared with youngsters in my community.
