she moved like the light had chosen her. a perfect angle, just for one breath, one frame. the city fell silent. shadows watched, but she didn’t break stride.
Dramatic Light and Rain makes a great combination.

This mountain is one of the most captivating peaks I've ever seen. The prominent spire ringed by glacier always got my imagination going. Given the mixed weather, the peak became even more interesting as it dipped in and out of clouds over and over again. What a treat to photograph this beauty!

Middle East - GCC - Qatar - Bir Zekreet Desert Landscape - Spectacular rocky limestone cliffs & formations such as desert mushroom during late afternoon warm light with lovely horizontal clouds
Qatar might not be blessed with the most dramatic and spectacular landscape (besides those enormous natural resources that made Qatar one of the richest countries in the world.) therefore finding something unique is not so easy. Area of Zekreet provides some lovely desert formation created by the sea in ancient times.
This wonderful place is also featured in Night Sky around the World Time-Lapse Video among many other interesting and unique locations around the world.

"Guardian of tides and dreams, the Moon watches over wandering souls. Since the dawn of time, it has inspired myths and beliefs—ever-changing goddess, guide of sorcerers, mirror of sensitive hearts. Some see it as a gateway to the unknown, others as a silent witness to our deepest secrets. What story will it whisper to your heart tonight?"
"Gardienne des marées et des songes, la Lune veille sur les âmes errantes. Depuis la nuit des temps, elle inspire mythes et croyances : déesse changeante, guide des sorciers, miroir des âmes sensibles. Certains y voient un portail vers l’inconnu, d’autres un témoin silencieux de nos secrets les plus enfouis. Quelle histoire murmurera-t-elle à ton cœur ce soir ?"

This photo was taken early morning in the Lage Vuursche Forest on the way from Hilversum to Soestduinen. Lage Vuursche is a village in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is a part of the municipality of Baarn, and lies about 5 km west of Soest, in the middle of the forest. Drakestein, the former residence of Queen Beatrix, is situated just east of the village. An oasis of rest directly next to the big city life.

he mountains have stood for a very long time. this is a fact.
they carry the weight of the sky without complaint.
for a moment, the sun isolates a small piece of the world, a few houses on a hill.
it is not a miracle, it is only physics. a brief, improbable geometry of light.
the people inside the houses do not notice. they are busy with their lives.

A patch of very strong autumn sunshine lights up this isolated hillside barn near Keld, Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park
in the theatre of the street, he walks unseen — a lone figure lit by the digital glow of elsewhere. around him, the world collapses into shadow, silence, absence. the weight of disconnection is not loud; it hums quietly through the grid of our lives.

Khongor Sand Dunes are the largest and most spectacular sand dunes in Mongolia. Also known as the ‘singing dunes’, they are up to 800 m high, 20 km wide and about 100 km long. Top of the dunes can be climbed and the views of the desert from the top are indescribable.
I was wondering around and enjoying the majestic views of dunes when my eyes spotted this beautiful play of shadow and light. It is slightly different desert photo than we are used to but I am very happy with the artistic results it creates, even I've originally went there for very typical sunrise desert photos.

It is being said that a picture is worth a thousand words and it is very true statement, however what if you put thousands of pictures together ? Here are two videos that I put together from several weeks in Iceland, those sleepless nights spent in freezing temperatures in unique Icelandic landscape were surely worth it.
Timelapse movies had become my new way of capturing my travels besides regular photography.
Check out these Icelandic timelapse videos :
► NORTHERN LIGHTS OVER JÖKULSÁRLÓN - THE GLACIER LAGOON, ICELAND
or
► NORTHERN LIGHTS - AURORA BOREALIS OVER WESTERN ICELAND
I had the incredible luck to experience once in a life time Northern lights show created by huge Solar storm which brought unseen colors ranging from the usual green, yellow to red, purple or even blue, to the sky all over Nordic countries and even all the way to the south of UK. Add several other lucky nights with smaller or large Aurora Borealis appearance in unique landscape of Iceland and the result is relatively lot of footage for my first ever time-lapse video.
Europe - Iceland - South Iceland - Vík í Mýrdal during Northern lights, also known as Aurora Borealis produced by solar wind particles guided by Earth's field lines to the top of the atmosphere

This photo was taken in Beyal Camp which is a wonderful place surrounded with beautiful thick Pine forest, spellbinding views of Raikot Glacier and Nanga Parbat.
The mountain in the picture is Nanga parbat (also known as Nangaparbat Peak or Diamir) is the 9th highest mountain on Earth and the 2nd highest in Pakistan. Nanga Parbat has tremendous vertical relief over local terrain in all directions. To the south, Nanga Parbat boasts what is often referred to as the highest mountain face in the world: the Rupal Face rises an incredible 4,600 m (15,000 feet) above its base. To the north, the complex, somewhat more gently sloped Rakhiot Flank rises 7,000 m (22,966 feet) from the Indus River valley to the summit in just 27 km, one of the 10 greatest elevation gains in so short a distance on Earth. Nanga Parbat is the fastest growing mountain on Earth and it is still growing about 7mm a year (but dont ask me how they measure it!)
No digital manipulation was done here. The moon is where it really was.

Europe - UK - United Kingdom - England - North West England - Cumbria - Lakes - Lake District National Park - Crummock Water - Lake situated between Buttermere & Loweswater
The Lake District, also known as The Lakes or Lakeland, is a rural area in North West England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous for its lakes and its mountains (or fells), and its associations with the early 19th century poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the Lake Poets.
Lake District is by far my favorite destination in England. It is very magical place that has such a great potential for landscape photography. However as it is always with landscape photography, you need to be lucky for the weather (especially in UK) and the light. When these two are right Lake District offers great possibilities.

This photo was taken during very early and very windy morning. I particularly like those sunrays coming from the blowing sand and soft layers of the dunes. There are two men, one standing and one of trying to hide from blowing sand.
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 :

Qatar is a small (11,000 sqkm) but indubitably important Persian Gulf nation; aside from oil, more natural gas reserves are found here than anywhere except Iran and Russia. It is nearly totally surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf. The country is flat with some rocky outcrops up to 130 feet (40 m) high, with the desert landscape ranging from rocky shrub-land to beautiful sand dunes, and some bleak salt flats in the centre of the country.
On my way from Nepal I've decided to have half a day stop over there too. Rented a car and went directly to desert to be rewarded with some stunning desert shots which I didn’t hope for. This one was taken just before sunset. The wind was blowing strong and dust was flying in the wind with wonderful evening light. I particularly love this shot for its timeless feel.

I was mid-nap in a coffin lined with disco ball fragments when someone hit me with a spotlight like I owed them rent. Now I’m squinting through zebra-stripes of illumination, shielding my eyes like I just saw my own tax return.
You! Yeah, you with the flashlight of judgment - I see you. I’m reaching out, not for help, but to offer you a haunted timeshare and maybe a coupon for cursed lasagna.
I’m not here to be subtle. I’m here to be loud, striped, and slightly confusing.
If you shine a light on me, expect interpretive gestures, unsolicited advice, and possibly a tap dance performed entirely in reverse.
Side effects may include:
- Sudden urge to redecorate with cobwebs
- Inexplicable craving for beet salad
- Temporary possession by the spirit of a lounge singer named Carl
--Beetlejuice 💚 (Now 40% more photogenic under duress)
A high-stakes clash between hero and thief — light, motion, and gold colliding in one frozen moment.

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.

Panoramic presentation (5 shots) of a view from my balcony; looks incredibly moody and dramatic. Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
With gusts over 45mph it's a hang on to your hat kind of day. I was lucky to get this shot in before the wind really began to crank it up.

Standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon during a late October evening, I witnessed an extraordinary moment as the season's first snow met the canyon's fiery sunset glow. This rare combination of autumn's first winter kiss and the warm desert light created a scene I'll never forget.
I positioned myself to capture this incredible juxtaposition between the fresh snow dusting the foreground rocks and the warm, golden light painting the distant mesas and buttes. The setting sun cast this magnificent orange and copper glow across the layered rock formations, making them appear almost molten against the cooler blue tones of the sky and shadows.
What struck me most was how this early snowfall transformed the familiar canyon landscape into something magical and unexpected. The pristine white patches on the rim rocks provided a stunning contrast to the warm desert tones below, creating a scene that perfectly captured the transition between seasons.
My intention was to freeze this fleeting moment when autumn's first snow meets the timeless, fiery beauty of the canyon - a reminder of nature's ability to surprise us even in the most familiar places.
Long alternating bands of clouds made for a spectacular sunset on October 22nd. I managed to capture this dramatic going away shot of 255 complete with vehicles on old Route 36 and a combine kicking up dust harvesting soybeans.

Vágar, together with Mykines, is geographically the westernmost part of the Faroe Islands. Bøur is a small traditional village on the west-side of Vágoy on the north side of Sørvágsfjørður, in the Sørvágs Kommuna of the Faroe Islands, 4 km west of Sørvágur, with a population of 70 citizens, located roughly 20 mi (or 32 km) West of Tórshavn, the Faroese capital. If you wish to visit Gásadalur, which is an even smaller village than Bøur, then you have to pass by this village before you reach the road tunnel to Gásadal.
