The Icelandic horse is a breed of horse developed in Iceland. Although small and often pony-sized, they are considered horses by most Icelandic breed registries. The breed develops late, but is long-lived and hardy. The breed was developed from ponies brought to Iceland by Viking settlers in the 9th and 10th centuries. Horses were worshipped in Norse mythology, and these beliefs were brought to Iceland by the original settlers. The Icelandic breed is mentioned in both literature and historical records throughout Icelandic history, from the 9th century on, with the first historical reference to an individual horse appearing in the 12th century. Selective breeding has been used over the centuries to develop the breed into its current form. Natural selection has also played a role, with the harsh Icelandic climate killing many horses through cold and starvation. In the late 18th century, much of the breed was wiped out in the aftermath of a volcanic eruption. They are still used for traditional farm work in Iceland, as well as for leisure, showing and racing.

 

It is difficult to say which is my favorite shot from my trip to Iceland, however series of these shots of Icelandic horses in the mist must be one of the most mystical photoshoot ever. I remember that we drove back to Reykjavik from already amazing time at Seljalandsfoss Waterfall (where I got rather wet from the ever present spray of water). As it was nearly sunset time I was getting more and more restless about the right location for the setting sun. As we drove along the road we noticed group of horses on the field with the mist that was slowly picking up. Icelandic horses were on top of the list of shots I wanted to leave that amazing country with. I managed to get some photos with reasonably good light and background before this moment, however I could have never imagined situation like this. Some shots can be carefully planned and executed, some will never repeat itself, this is definitely one of those. Part of that amazing experience was also the chance to watch how the whole scene “grew on us”. If I was there with a person that is not into photography, I would have taken one or two shots and got back to car. The freedom to explore the whole scene and situation with someone that has the same interest (obsession) gave me opportunity to emerge into the moment and capture better and better photos (completely forgetting that I’m taking photos across sharply wired fence in rather high and very wet grass).

Iceland Waterfalls are perhaps the country's most recognizable series of attractions. They're everywhere! Its collection of waterfalls rivals any other country in sheer power and raw beauty. The falls range from powerful and wide river-type monsters like Dettifoss, Gullfoss, and Goðafoss to tall and narrow ones like Glymur, Háifoss, and Hengifoss. Moreover, the country sports classic waterfalls such as the rectangular Skógafoss as well as unique waterfalls such as the trapezoidal Dynjandi. And these are just the famous ones! There are countless other waterfalls tumbling by the Ring Road as well as many more that don't even have formal names!

 

The waterfall Skógafoss is situated in the south of Iceland at the cliffs of the former coastline. After the coastline had receded seaward (it is now at a distance of about 5 km from Skógar), the former sea cliffs remained, parallel to the coast over hundreds of kilometers, creating together with some mountains a clear border between the coastal lowlands and the Highlands of Iceland. The Skógafoss is one of the biggest and most beautiful waterfalls of the country with a width of 25 meters and a drop of 60 meters. Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days. According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a treasure in a cave behind the waterfall. A local boy found the chest years later, but was only able to grasp the ring on the side of the chest before it disappeared again.

 

I have captured this place during my previous visit to Iceland but I surely could not miss it during the last trip. This time I got the bonus rainbow and a lovely couple standing at perfect place to give the whole scene a scale.

Fresh snow clings to the ledges along the South Rim near Yavapai–Mather, while a low cloud spills into the canyon and the buttes fade blue into the distance. Warm sandstone, cool snow, and endless layers—winter geology on display at Grand Canyon National Park.

in the thick heat of midday, the pharmacy glows like a theatrical set — a portal between commerce and solitude. she steps out with shadows on her shoulders, caught between the glossy promises of youth and the ordinary gravity of age. the advertisement stares ahead with eternal smoothness, while her gaze drops, quietly human. this is the anatomy of contrast — not just of light, but of lives.

A forest bathed in mystery, where light dances and reveals the magic of the undergrowth.

Europe - UK - Scotland - Western Isles of Scotland - Outer Hebrides - Isle Harris - Stunning white beaches of the north of the island captured during dramatic weather

 

Today is the a big day for Scotland and its possible independence. It is one of my top favorite countries where I always love to return. I'm not really sure that independence would be the right choice from economical/political point of view but I can understand the motion. I'm curious how it will end and I wish this wonderful country the best possible outcome, what ever it might be !

Coming home from Skate Creek I had to stop for the incredible drama on this peak. I definitely shot a few and they were all different. Sometimes it's difficult to decide but here it is. This view is from beside the Nisqually River near Ashford, WA.

 

Thank you for your warm and kind visits my friends as we prepare to go from autumn to winter before too long! 💖

A lone figure steps out of the shadows, framed by stone, silence, and light.

A moment suspended between past and present — where mystery walks hand in hand with destiny.

Black & white doesn’t remove color… it reveals truth.

The remote farming hamlet of Holwick, Upper Teesdale, briefly lit by a break in the clouds. Further back, paler sunshine partially illuminates part of Cronkley Fell with the Green Trod footpath standing out. Taken on a blustery and damp summer solstice, June 21 2020.

Encountering this emperor tamarin, I was immediately struck by the dignified presence and almost human-like wisdom in its gaze. That magnificent white mustache gives this small primate such distinctive character - like meeting an elderly philosopher lost in contemplation.

I chose dramatic black and white lighting to emphasize the sculptural quality of this remarkable face and to strip away any distractions from the pure essence of the moment. The low-key approach transforms what could have been a simple animal photograph into something more intimate and portrait-like.

What moved me most was the sense of quiet intelligence I perceived in this tamarin's expression. There's something deeply contemplative about the way it holds itself, as if carrying the wisdom of the rainforest canopy. The contrast between its small stature and profound presence creates a fascinating tension.

My intention was to capture not just the physical beauty of this endangered species, but to reveal the individual personality and dignity that exists within. Sometimes the most powerful wildlife portraits are the quietest ones - moments that remind us of the complex emotional lives of our fellow creatures.

Went over to Rodeo Lagoon in Marin County after work today hoping to get some pelican shots. After the fog came in a bit and the sun was low in the sky I ended up with this dramatically lit shot.

 

Hope you all have a great weekend - happy shooting!

n the hush between walls and work, she pushes forward. mop in hand, shadow in step, she becomes the rhythm that no one hears but everyone depends on. her silhouette, caught between day and duty, stands taller than most ever notice.

The sun sinks into the serrated horizon, and for a few quiet minutes, the river becomes a mirror of fire.

 

Two small boats cut through the molten surface, leaving gentle arcs in the reflection — reminders that even in stillness, life moves forward.

 

The mountains hold their silhouette.

The water carries the light.

And for a moment, the world feels suspended between motion and calm.

The little village of Elgol is one of the most photographed parts of the Isle of Skye. Elgol is an increasingly popular destination for climbers and hill walkers of all levels due to its unparalleled access to the famous Cuillin Hills and the various smaller hills dotted around wherever you look. Elgol is a crofting and fishing village in the Strath area of the Island. The small, sparsely populated village is scattered along the final mile of the road from Broadford.

 

Though you may never have heard of the little fishing and crofting village of Elgol in the Scottish Highlands, there is a good chance that you have seen photos of Elgol's famous mountain and seascape scenery in postcards, Scottish books and even film scenes and television programmes. From the larger Skye village of Broadford many visitors have turned down the enchanting Elgol road completely unaware of the magnificent scenes that await them around almost every corner. The 15 mile journey over twisty single-track roads will take you past High Pastures Cave, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the area, then sweep you around the corner to the ancient, historical site of Kilchrist church

 

Every mile you drive on your journey from Broadford to Elgol will fool you into thinking that the scenery simply cannot be bettered. However, you will be proved wrong when you arrive in Elgol and reach the shore and the little fishing harbour. There is simply nothing on earth to compare to the site of the Cuillin Hills beyond the Elgol shore - a breathtaking view whether it is sunny or stormy.

 

There are various opinions as to the meaning of the name, 'Elgol' (or Ealaghol in the native Gaelic, some suggesting 'The Noble Dale' and others 'The Weeping Swan' (folklore details the story of a Viking captain who perished when his longboat named 'The Swan' came to attack the people of Elgol).

Europe - UK - England - East Sussex - Seven Sisters Country Park - Birling Gap - Seven Sisters Chalk Cliffs - Wild forces of the sea created unusual chalk platforms and huge heaps of gleaming white chalk cliffs

 

The Seven Sisters are a series of chalk cliffs by the English Channel. They form part of the South Downs in East Sussex, between the towns of Seaford and Eastbourne in southern England. They are within the Seven Sisters Country Park. They are the remnants of dry valleys in the chalk South Downs, which are gradually being eroded by the sea.

Observing this ring-tailed lemur in a quiet moment of rest, I was struck by the profound intelligence and contemplative quality in its gaze. There's something deeply moving about the way lemurs observe their world - those bright, expressive eyes seem to hold ancient wisdom from the forests of Madagascar.

I chose dramatic black and white lighting to emphasize the sculptural beauty of this remarkable primate and to create an intimate connection with the viewer. The low-key approach strips away distractions, focusing entirely on the character and emotion visible in those penetrating eyes and gentle expression.

What captivated me was the very human-like quality of this moment - the way this lemur seemed lost in thought, gazing into the distance with what appeared to be quiet reflection. These critically endangered primates carry such dignity and grace, reminding us of our shared evolutionary heritage and our responsibility to protect their fragile world.

My intention was to create more than just a wildlife photograph, but rather a portrait that reveals the individual personality and emotional depth of this remarkable creature, hoping to inspire greater appreciation for these extraordinary animals and their precarious future.

Lucia Carbines (performing under the stage moniker “Miss A in a Bubble”).

 

Suspended directly above the gasping crowd inside Spiegelworld’s vintage, velvet-and-mirror Spiegeltent, Australian aerialist and contortionist Lucia Carbines delivers one of Empire’s most striking spectacles.

 

Performing inside and around an aerial acrylic sphere, Carbines bends and twists her body with impossible, fluid grace, effortlessly shifting between hyper-flexible contortion and high-altitude acrobatics. Hovering just feet above the front rows in the intimate venue, the act combines daring physical control with the seductive, vaudevillian edge that defines the production.

Middle East - GCC - Qatar - Bir Zekreet Desert Landscape - Spectacular rocky limestone cliffs & formations such as desert mushroom during Full Moon night

 

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.

Kleopatra/ Damlatas beach is situated on the western side of the peninsula which splits Alanya into two. The beach is said to be Alanya’s best. It is legendary for its long, fine sandy shores and many coves and inlets that are popular with boat trippers. The sand is finer and there are not many rocks or stones but the water does deepen more quickly than at the eastern beach. When Queen Kleopatra of Egypt was given the area around Alanya as a present from the Roman general Antony, she bathed at the foot of the cliff every day. Originally there was a tunnel, leading from the castle directly to her private beach, through which she was carried whenever she wanted to swim. The 3.5 kilometre long beach is also known as Damlatas beach because of the Damlatas dripstone cave on the western side of the peninsula discovered in 1948. Today the cave is one of Alanya’s many tourist attractions.

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is the largest glacier lagoon or lake in Iceland. Situated in south eastern Iceland, at the head of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier branching from the Vatnajökull, between Skaftafell National Park and Höfn, it evolved into a lagoon after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The lake has grown since then at varying rates because of melting of the Icelandic glaciers.

 

When I got to Iceland I realized that we might have a full moon... and as it has become my tradition I want to make use of it in my photography. Being on the ice beach of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is very special on its own... but with added Full Moon... it is the perfect combination I have not seen on any photos yet ! The night was not completely clear, but luckily clouds were not too strong and let the Moon shine through.

Europe - UK - United Kingdom - Scotland - Western Isles of Scotland - Outer Hebrides - Isle of Lewis - Island's West Coast - Callanish Standing Stones - Standing Stones of Challanish (Calanais or Chalanais in Gaelic) - One of the most spectacular megalithic sites in Scotland at Dusk - Twilight - Blue Hour

 

We all have those special places we always wanted to visit, Callanish Stone Circle was definitely on top of my list of such places. As you can guess, no visit to Scotland comes for free and weather can be at its most playfull.... as it was for last 3 days - near gale wind and constant drizzle, which is so famous for these islands but nothing should stop very devoted photographer from capturing what he/she had in mind... and therefore the gale and drizzle didnt stop us from taking photos at this unique location - that is also explanation for the EXIF data... I would have much rather used ISO 100, f11 and 30 sec but than the lens would get way too many drops... and I might have been blown away with the camera and tripod ;)... still despite those conditions I'm really pleased with the result ;)

Buachaille Etive Mòr (Scottish Gaelic: Buachaille Eite Mòr, meaning "the great herdsman of Etive"), generally known to climbers simply as The Buachaille or The Beuckle, is a mountain at the head of Glen Etive in the Highlands of Scotland. Its almost perfect pyramidal form, as seen from the A82 road when travelling towards Glen Coe, makes it one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland, and one of the most depicted on postcards and calendars. Buachaille Etive Mòr takes the form of a ridge nearly five miles (8 km) in length, almost entirely encircled by the River Etive and its tributaries. The ridge contains four principal tops: from north-east to south-west these are Stob Dearg (1022 m), Stob na Doire (1011 m), Stob Coire Altruim (941 m) and Stob na Bròige (956 m). Stob Dearg and Stob na Bròige are both Munros; the latter was promoted to Munro status by the Scottish Mountaineering Club in 1997.

 

The steep, craggy north-eastern face of Stob Dearg forms the classic aspect of the mountain as seen from the Kings House Hotel, and constitutes the most direct route of ascent for climbers and scramblers. Buachaille Etive Mòr is separated from its sister mountain of Buachaille Etive Beag to the west by the valley of Lairig Gartain. To the east lies Glen Etive, which provides an alternative route of ascent, heading up steep grassy slopes to the summit of Stob na Bròige.

 

Those of you that know Scotland well, know that this is rather classic view of this place. Even though I have been to Scotland many times by now, this was the first time I have actually found this location. The only trouble was that this summer was extremely dry across Scotland so when I finally found this place for the first time, there was nearly no water flowing through the stream/river. I was very disappointed as I was really looking forward to capture this view myself. Luckily on our way back from Isle of Skye, some rain has fallen which brought the water back to where it belongs. This shot was taken late evening (22.15PM) with sun setting behind the mountain. 60 sec exposure time allowed to take enough light and smooth the waterfall with clouds really nicely.

On a chilled December morning the quiet peace of Frobisher Bay is torn apart in the thunderous roar of a missile launch. Rocket light burns bright against the cool pastel colours of an Arctic winter. For weeks, the crew of the surfaced Ohio-class submarine had navigated the unforgiving, ice-choked waters of the northern frontier—a silent ghost patrolling the edge of the world. This morning, as the sun barely scraped the horizon in a wash of pale amber and rose, the quiet ended.

 

Part of a high-stakes naval exercise in Arctic defense preparedness, the launch was a flawless demonstration of strategic readiness. With a concussive boom that rippled across the frozen expanse, the hull shuddered as a Trident missile erupted from its silo. It punched through the freezing sea spray, riding a pillar of blinding fire and churning white exhaust into the sub-zero air. For a fleeting moment, the stark, snow-dusted islands and jagged mountains were illuminated by the artificial sun of the rocket’s wake, casting long, dramatic shadows over the ice. As the missile vanished into the upper atmosphere, leaving only a drifting plume of smoke against the dawn sky, the Arctic reclaimed its silence—but the message of vigilance had been clearly written across the horizon.

From a little over a year ago. One I have not processed until this eveing from Canyonlands National Park. The way the cliff face closest to me lit up while shadows played with others lasted only a few minuets so I worked fast to compose and capture this shot.
