in a quiet corner of the world, away from the clamor of everyday life, a woman's smile breaks through the monochrome. subtle light dances on her face, tracing the contours of her joy. her eyes, half-hidden in the shadows, sparkle with a gentle, knowing gleam. she is draped in a scarf, the patterns of which tell tales of the places she has seen and the roads she has walked. this moment, captured in shades of gray, speaks volumes of her quiet resilience and fleeting moments of happiness.

Northern Africa - Kingdom of Morocco - Sahara Desert - Zagora Province - M'Hamid El Ghizlane - Erg Lehoudi - Er Lihoudi - Classic desert landscape with constantly changing sand dunes, lines and shapes - Large sea of dunes formed by wind-blown sand
Windy desert is always great to experience and capture, just the camera is not always happy. This part of Sahara desert might not have the biggest sand dunes, as those in Merzouga, but it is way less touristy these days, so it is wonderful to spend some time there. The sky in desert is wonderfully dark with minimum light pollution, which gives a great sight, which you can also see in the

Europe - Faroe Islands - Faroes - Føroyar - Færøerne - Island group & archipelago under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark situated between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean - Island of Viðoy - Vidoy Island - Viderø - Norðoyar Region - Viðareiði - The northernmost settlement in the Faroe Islands - Classic view of Vidareidi church with cliffs of Bordoy and Kunoy islands
This is by far my most favorite combination of light - the warm evening light against dark stormy weather with something interesting in the frame. Faroe is a such special place with weather that often changes every 5 minutes, so any moment like this was always hugely appreciated (as short as it always was !)

the room was quiet. outside, the city was a distant hum of traffic. but inside, there was only the wooden table and the light that cut through the darkness. he did not speak. there was nothing left to say. the truth had a weight, a physical presence in the air. it sat there, between them, on the polished wood.

Europe - Faroe Islands - Faroes - Føroyar - Færøerne - Island group & archipelago under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark situated between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean - Vágar Island - Sorvagsfjorour - Sørvágsfjørður - Gásadalur & its famous waterfall - Village of Gásadalur is probably one of the most popular locations for photographers in the Faroe Islands
Standing on this stunning spot was surely an unique experience, I remember the super windy conditions while we were nearly blown away while trying to take a single reasonable shot. The short window when sun was actually shining was super brief, I'm sure huge storm came shortly after that and we must have run back towards the car to hide. We used to call it "ugly" is coming again. The most frequent statement of the trip in Faroes !

Europe - UK - England - East Midlands - County of Rutland - Normanton Church on eastern shore of Rutland Water reservoir - St Matthew's Church - Grade II listed building built in classical style
In our heavily digitalized age, it is becoming more and more difficult to find less known locations to capture. This wonderful submerged church is one of my recent finds that I was not aware of till couple of months ago. The evening was wonderfully calm and the reflection was near perfect. Only downside of this evening session was the fact, that there was no artificial lighting at dusk. I asked about that in nearby hotel and they said that the lighting of the church seems rather random.

a man walks into the light and disappears again. the concrete glows. his shadow steps ahead, as if it knows something he doesn’t.
valencia, late afternoon—truth told through angles and asphalt.
Unfortunately the Flickr administration didn’t approve of this picture. To get my account reopened, i had to remove it along with most of my photos - all being against the rules of Safe pictures on a Free account. I have therefor put some AI shorts on Chris and reposted... This is neither erotic nor sexual, it is a mermaid leading a man out on deep water.
The original was my most popular photo with over 500+ views.
I love those moments in between rain showers when the sun peeks through the clouds and everything is illuminated against the blue-grey sky.

Sa tenue est une armure biomécanique noire, lisse et texturée, parcourue de veines lumineuses dorées, épousant parfaitement sa silhouette élancée et élargissant légèrement les épaules pour une aura impériale.
Arrière-plan : vaste structure monumentale sombre, évoquant un temple intergalactique ou une cathédrale alien, avec colonnes gigantesques plongées dans l’ombre. À l’arrière, une planète partiellement visible baignée de lumière chaude, avec plusieurs vaisseaux spatiaux en lévitation, silhouettes fines et menaçantes. Atmosphère chargée de particules flottantes dorées, brume légère, profondeur de champ marquée.
Éclairage cinématographique dramatique : key light chaude dorée venant de face et légèrement au-dessus, rim light intense soulignant les contours, reflets spéculaires sur les surfaces métalliques et la peau.

**Prompt:**
Ultra-realistic portrait of a regal extraterrestrial entity, blending mystical elegance with overwhelming cosmic power, tight chest-up framing, direct hypnotic gaze. Delicate, symmetrical face with smooth pearlescent skin, embedded with multicolored micro-luminous particles resembling a living nebula. Enormous, deep black eyes containing entire galaxies, swirling constellations and drifting stardust, with translucent irises shimmering in prismatic reflections.
She wears an ornate, organic baroque crown crafted from dark metal and molten gold, inlaid with pulsating energy gemstones. Surrounding her head, multiple floating luminous rings orbit like planetary halos, emitting intense golden light that creates a sacred yet futuristic aura. Her attire is a sleek biomechanical black armor, intricately textured, threaded with glowing golden veins, perfectly contouring her elongated form and subtly enhancing her shoulders for an imperial presence.
Background: a विशाल, shadow-drenched monumental structure resembling an intergalactic temple or alien cathedral, with towering columns fading into darkness. In the distance, a partially visible planet bathed in warm light, with several hovering spacecraft—sleek, ominous silhouettes suspended in space. The atmosphere is filled with floating golden particles, faint mist, and strong depth of field.
Lighting: dramatic cinematic setup with a warm golden key light from the front and slightly above, strong rim lighting outlining her silhouette, sharp specular highlights on metallic surfaces and skin. High contrast with deep blacks and radiant highlights. Color palette dominated by gold, amber, black, and subtle cosmic iridescence.
Style: hyperrealism, 8K resolution, extreme micro-detailing, ultra-precise textures, epic science fiction aesthetic blending sacred iconography and futuristic design.
Mood: majestic, mysterious, divine extraterrestrial power, charged with silent cosmic tension.

Desert has always been my passion, I love to play with its shadows, shapes and views it offers. Morocco has something additional to that - man in blue ! :-) I just love the contrast of the deep orange color of the sand and the bright blue color of the traditional local dress.
Morocco and especially Sahara desert with its very dark skies is perfect for seeing and also capturing the night sky with the glorious Milky Way. The sky in the desert is wonderfully dark with minimum light pollution, which gives a great sight, which you can also see in the :

Seen from Borge in Fredrikstad, Østfold, this image captures the striking boundary between two contrasting weather systems. To the left, a dense wall of dark clouds signals rain, hail, and thunder, while to the right, calmer skies open into soft light and patches of blue. The line between instability and calm is almost tangible, revealing the dynamic nature of spring weather in southeastern Norway. Moments like this highlight how quickly conditions can change, where multiple seasons seem to unfold within the same horizon. It is a brief but powerful reminder of the atmosphere in motion constantly shifting, balancing between chaos and clarity.
Fun fact:
Sharp weather boundaries like this are often caused by a convergence of different air masses, where cold and warm air collide, creating dramatic cloud formations and sudden shifts in weather conditions.
Exploring the rocky shores around Saint-Malo at low tide, I was captivated by this dramatic perspective of the famous corsair city under threatening skies. The retreating waters revealed these weathered granite formations that have witnessed centuries of maritime history, creating a perfect foreground for the imposing ramparts.
My intention was to capture Saint-Malo in its most authentic element - as a fortress built to withstand both human enemies and oceanic fury. The stormy atmosphere seemed fitting for this city that was home to pirates and privateers, while the dramatic lighting emphasized the robust stone architecture that has protected the inhabitants for over 800 years.
This image represents what draws me to Brittany's coast - these moments when weather and history converge to reveal the true character of these maritime strongholds. Saint-Malo wasn't built for fair weather tourism; it was forged by storms, sieges, and the relentless Atlantic. Sometimes the most compelling photographs of historic places emerge not on perfect blue-sky days, but during these moody moments when you can almost feel the weight of centuries.

Corps suspendu, pur
un souffle peint dans les airs,

Body held mid-air,

grace becomes a ring.

I've been sat on this since I shot it in September last year on Kinder Scout's northern edge, my favourite place in the whole of the Peak District. With the weather being equally as moody so far this July, I thought I'd publish it.
The day started out very sunny but bands of weather were forecast to sweep in from the north, which they did. These bands of weather brought with them some incredible dappled light and very dramatic looking skies.
The heather had well truly passed it's best in this part of High Peak, leaving the landscape in hues of coppery-brown, muted greens and pale yellows that provided a really Earthy palette complimenting the raw feeling that the elements had that day.

Captured during the Sibiu Theatre Festival, this striking performance by Aainjaa, the electrifying percussion ensemble from Colombia, brought the stage alive with thunderous rhythm and fierce energy. Their signature mix of drumming, dance, and theatre pulses through every movement — raw, precise, and defiant. Under the lights, the drummers' warrior presence turns rhythm into ritual, sound into spectacle, and a festival moment into something unforgettable.

The weather in Faroe Islands keeps reminding me one funny T-shirt they sell in Iceland - "If you dont like the weather, wait for 5 mins" It is exactly how our days are like... this was literally 5 mins break before huge rain fell on us. Luckily the car was nearby.

Watching the sun rise or set over the sand dunes of Merzouga may be the most spectacular experience you have on your trip to Morocco. The Erg Chebbi, the name of these sand dunes, is said to have some of the highest dunes in Morocco. Indeed, the dunes and the desert wildlife are impressive.
The dunes of Erg Chebbi is a strikingly strange natural formation. On the top of the flattest area you could imagine, suddenly a long mountain of sand rises. This mountain is surrounded by flat and desolate nature on all sides, and you could end up wondering if it really is real. But so it is, even if its existence is so weird that it has given rise to lengeds and myths among the locals. One legend tells us that the dunes of Erg Chebbi were created by God as a punishment to the locals of nearby Merzouga after they refused to give shelter to a woman and her child during a local festival. A sandstorm came, and buried the village of Merzouga is it was then.
