Middle East - Turkey - Türkiye - Mediterranean coast of southwestern Turkey - Antalya Province - Alanya - Alaiye - Beach resort city located on the Turkish Riviera below the Taurus Mountains - Historical town center & harbor with Lighthouse at Sunset - Dusk - Twilight - Night
Latest development in Turkey is not the most cheerful one. It is a country where I've been on many occasions, always having wonderful time while exploring this fascinating melting pot of cultures. I do hope there will be many more visits in the future, once the situation calms down and resolves in the best possible way. Lighthouse is a symbol of hope for many, as it always was a guiding light to safety of a harbour or as a warning sign on dangerous coast. May this photo of a lighthouse be symbol of the guiding light into safety from the stormy times that Turkey is experiencing now.

Europe - Finland - Suomi - North of the Arctic Circle - Finnish Lapland - Lappland - Lapponia under fresh cover of snow during winter time
No single Northern Lights photo does true justice to what is happening on the sky during those unique moments when Northern Lights appear. After incredible experience of capturing my first ever timelapse in Iceland last year, I've headed to Frozen land of Arctic Lapland to capture Northern Lights under snowy landscape, which is often difficult to find along the coast. Average temperatures around - 25C dont make it particularly friendly experience, but the one which will always be treasured.

J'apprécie ce côté étrange où Jessy semble suivre un mouvement que nous ne percevons pas, comme si quelqu'un, ou quelque chose, venait de traverser la pièce. Son geste pourrait être celui d'une danseuse, mais il évoque aussi une apparition, une présence dont on ne sait pas vraiment si elle appartient au rêve ou à la réalité et j'aime ce petit trouble qui se dégage de cette scène.
EN I appreciate this strange side where Jessy seems to follow a movement that we do not perceive, as if someone, or something, had just crossed the room. Her gesture could be that of a dancer, but it also evokes an appearance, a presence that we do not really know if it belongs to the dream or to reality and I love this little disorder that emerges from this scene.

Europe - UK - United Kingdom - Scotland - St Monans - Village in the East Neuk of Fife named after the legendary Saint Monan - Situated approximately 3 miles west of Anstruther, this small community, whose inhabitants formerly made their living mainly from fishing, is now a tourist destination situated on the Fife Coastal Path - Breakwater can be found at end of the harbour captured at high tide
As is usual in Scotland, we had our share of really bad weather with lots of rain and gale strong wind, however this particular night was the opposite - clear blue sky, and not a single movement on the sea... I would have wished for bit more dramatic conditions here but I guess we cant always have it all ;) At least the tide was at its highest during sunset, which is a must for this shot. Unfortunately it was mid way between the New Moon and Full Moon meaning that high tide is at its lowest. If you wanna shoot at this location, you need high tide at its highest, that would add another 1m of water which would completely hide the concrete at the bottom.

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 latest one :
► POLAR NIGHT WITH NORTHERN LIGHT & MOON ECLIPSE IN ARCTIC NORWAY
or
► NORTHERN LIGHTS BEYOND ARCTIC CIRCLE, SWEDEN
► ARCTIC NIGHT & NORTHERN LIGHTS OVER FROZEN SWEDEN
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.

A stunning, high-contrast macro photograph capturing a cluster of delicate blue forget-me-not (Myosotis) blossoms illuminated against a rich, pitch-black background. The sharp focus isolates the intricate textures of the five-petaled sky-blue corollas, showcasing their vibrant yellow and white central rings. A soft, dreamlike bokeh gracefully blurs the secondary blooms in the distance, evoking an intimate and mood-filled atmosphere perfect for fine art prints, conservation designs, or emotional storytelling.

in the spaces between where we are and where we are going, children move without hesitation. they have not yet learned to fear the dark or doubt the destination. the corridor is vast, the exit small, but the direction is clear. forward, always forward, toward the light that promises something beyond these walls.

as he walks through the lattice of light and stone, his shadow unfolds like a second body — angular, quiet, uninvited. the grid beneath him holds no direction, only repetition. in this boxed geometry of street and solitude, presence is just a darker echo.

The construction of the complex began on January 4, 1477, with the laying of the first stone by Marquise Taddea Pico della Mirandola Malaspina (an Emilian noblewoman from the Mirandola dynasty, wife of Giacomo I Malaspina, who obtained papal authorization for the foundation), originally serving as a Franciscan convent.
The building features a Baroque and Neoclassic style, resulting from a seventeenth-century renovation designed by architects Giovanni Francesco and Alessandro Bergamini. The monumental white marble facade visible in the shot, defined by a loggia with three overlapping arches, was completed in 1936 based on a design by Cesario Fellini.
The official title of cathedral and the dedication to Saint Francis of Assisi were officially sanctioned between 1807 and 1821, after the destruction of the ancient church in Piazza Aranci forced the relocation of the city's sacred roles here.
A quiet moment where light meets reflection. This portrait is not about perfection, but about resilience, hope and the silent strength that reveals itself when we dare to look beyond the darkness.
Photography by Peter Meirmans.

Isle of Skye - The Quirang is a fascinating rock formation on the Trotternish peninsula on Skye. It is approximately two miles north west of Staffin and six miles south east of Rubha Hunish. The Quiraing is a spectacular landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of the Trotternish Ridge on the Isle of Skye. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips; the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving, the road at its base near Flodigarry requires repairs each year.
The Trotternish Ridge lies on Skye's northernmost peninsula known as Trotternish. The northernmost summit on this ridge is known as the Quirang which has a fantastic maze of pinnacles, cliffs and flat grass tables that were formed by an ancient landslide of biblical proportions. From below these cliffs look huge, upon closer inspection you find many intricacies - scree slopes provide entrances to reveal an intricate maze of deep chasms and huge rock walls.
Those of you that think that you'll come to Isle of Skye and you'll be welcomed by light like this, might be disappointed. You can get your share of rain rather than this wonderful light. Even thought the plan was to hike for one whole day around Quirang, the reality was that due to the weather condition we had only one early morning with such a wonderful light. I nearly didn't have enough strength to get out of bed after several days of late night shooting and early mornings. Mind you that sunset is around 11PM and sunrise around 4AM in June, you can imagine how much sleep you get when always try to capture the best light. Landscape photography is not an easy job, but with results like this it is definitely worth it.

Capturing Northern Light is always wonderful but very stressful moment (you never know how intensive it will be in few seconds, where it will go etc). Finding a good place that would nicely compliment this natural phenomen can always be tricky. This rather well known viewpoint was one of the few on my wishlist. The night before, when I was also lucky with the Aurora, it was just dancing on a very different place. Luckily this particular night it perfectly complimented the composition.

beneath the tilted no-parking sign, he walks as if boxed in by invisible limits. a hand to the head—maybe thought, maybe tension. the midday sun burns a path across his skin and the cracked white wall behind him offers no answers. just a command in red and blue: no left, no right.
he walked with hands in his coat pockets, steady, unfazed by the wind. i watched him from the promenade in can pastilla, where chairs were still flipped and the season hadn’t started yet. he didn’t stop. didn’t hesitate. i framed him right between the rows of straw umbrellas, like a character from a film with no ending. the beach was waiting, and so was the sea.
Miradouro de São Cristóvão is a scenic viewpoint on Madeira’s north coast near Boaventura, overlooking the lush valley, agricultural terraces, and the Atlantic beyond. It’s known for its calm atmosphere and broad ocean-and-mountain panorama, making it a relaxing stop for photos or a quiet meal with a view.
I was drawn to this hillside as dark storm clouds began building on the horizon, sensing that something spectacular was about to unfold. The air had that electric quality that precedes a thunderstorm, and I could see the rain curtains already falling in the distance.
What captivated me was this incredible battle between light and darkness - while the storm dominated most of the sky with its imposing cumulonimbus formations, the setting sun managed to break through beneath the cloud base, casting this golden glow across the distant hills. It was one of those fleeting moments where nature displays its full dramatic range.
I positioned myself to capture the layered composition of this rural landscape - the golden grasslands in the foreground, the dense forest canopy, and those illuminated hills that seemed to glow against the storm's dark backdrop. The contrast between the peaceful pastoral setting and the approaching tempest created this sense of anticipation and drama.
My intention was to freeze this ephemeral moment when two opposing forces of nature - the storm's power and the sun's persistence - coexist in perfect tension. These are the moments that remind us of nature's incredible ability to create scenes more dramatic than any artist could imagine.
