A patch of very strong sunlight sweeps across the Hudeshope valley and creates some drama on a blustery New Year's Day. Over a month since Storm Arwen hit the region and there are still some patches of snow left on the hillside.
Lost between shadow and lamplight in Santiago’s old town. Every alley here tells a story of pilgrims, rain, and centuries of footsteps. Sometimes the path isn’t about the destination, it’s about the silence you find along the way.

A short break in the dense cloud cover allows very strong sunshine to floodlight Low Force Waterfall, swollen after a very wet day previously.
On my way back from a shooting in Umbria, I stole a few hours from time and drove up toward Castelluccio di Norcia.
The light kept changing constantly — unstable, restless. One moment everything disappeared into grey, the next the landscape was cut open by sudden blades of light.
These are difficult days to photograph, yet probably the ones impossible to forget.
Because when light stops obeying, all you can do is remain there and wait.
And in those few right moments, the landscape stops showing itself and begins to speak.
Di ritorno da uno shooting in Umbria, ho rubato qualche ora al tempo e sono salito verso Castelluccio di Norcia.
La luce cambiava continuamente, instabile, quasi nervosa. Un attimo prima chiudeva tutto nel grigio, quello dopo apriva il paesaggio con tagli improvvisi e violenti.
Sono giornate difficili da fotografare, ma forse proprio per questo impossibili da dimenticare.
Perché quando la luce smette di obbedire, bisogna solo restare lì ad aspettare.
E nei pochi istanti giusti, il paesaggio smette di mostrarsi e comincia a parlare.

I caught some nice lighting at Rowena Crest in mid September, and finished off a roll of Rollei film that I had loaded in the Spring.
Rollei RPX 400 is a tad grainy for my tastes, but I was able to handhold the 'Blad for this picture. I always have a film black loaded with a 400 ASA film just in case I need to ditch the tripod.
Camera: Hasselblad 500CM
Lens: 40mm Zeiss Distagon
Film: Rollei RPX 400 developed in Kodak HC110 dilution B
Replaced on 10/24/21 with a lightened up foreground, and camera Exif data added.

This is a view of Tupopdan mountain, one of the most amazing places along Karakoram highway.
The Karakoram is a ‘who’s who’ of the world’s tallest peaks – including K-2, second only to Everest. And its valleys deliver a glut of glaciers, the longest outside the polar regions, with some creeping right to the road edge. The 240-kilometer Hunza Valley is an ancient and remote kingdom in the northeast of Pakistan, nestled close to China and the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan. The simplicity of village life belies the valley’s strategic and economic importance. Not so many years ago, travel through its narrow gorges and high passes was treacherous as local brigands supplemented meagre agricultural outputs by raiding silk route caravans, trading slaves and capturing loot
The Tupopdan "sun drenched mountain" (translation of local name) or Cathedral Spires of Passu 6106m, visible from the Karakoram Highway. It feels like a sight straight out of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It is located in Gojal, Upper Hunza in Northern Areas of Pakistan. The KKH here crosses the raucous streams of the Gulmit and Ghulkin glaciers, then passes the town of Sesoni. In this stretch of valley you begin to see Tupopdan, a multipinnacled ridge culminating in a 20,000-foot peak. Tupopdan is a giant pincushion of sheer, Knifelike spires mountain rising straight up from the plain and dominating this section of the valley. The Wakhi village of Pasu (8,500 feet elevation, 102 miles from Gilgit)

A glimpse of the early morning sun through a break in the clouds bathes the rocky shoreline in a warm glow, whilst the retreating tide gently reveals the dark, glossy ribbons of seaweed clinging to the exposed rocks.
Quando la luce rivela.
Una fine giornata di mezza estate. Temporali veloci attraversano il cielo e, per pochi istanti, la luce cambia ogni cosa. Il paesaggio più familiare si trasforma, rivelando particolari che normalmente restano nascosti. Basta fermarsi, osservare e aspettare che la luce faccia il suo lavoro.
When Light Reveals.
Late on a midsummer day. Fast-moving storms cross the sky and, for a few moments, the light changes everything. The most familiar landscape is transformed, revealing details that would normally remain hidden. All it takes is to stop, observe, and wait for the light to do its work.
Three oriental lilies caught at full extension — their petals flung open in a moment of unapologetic colour.
The magenta edges flare into the light, creating a tension between softness and intensity.
I wanted the photograph to feel immediate — almost electric — as if the colour itself were the subject. The contrast between the velvety pink and the dark backdrop creates that “shock”: a sudden, vivid interruption of shadow by life at its most expressive stage.
A simple still life, but one that refuses to be quiet.

Autumn tints and dramatic strong sunshine as the dark low cloud clears in this view across to Holwick.
In the gentle silence of the waters, a flamingo bows its head, alone yet not lonely.
Light dances across its feathers like whispers, while shadows embrace its quiet pride.
A moment suspended, where stillness speaks louder than sound.

A hole the dark low cloud cover allows strong autumn sunshine to light up Middleton in Teesdale, in the classic view from Whistle Crag. Crossthwaite and Park End quarries stand out as bites out of the hillside, Holwick in the far distance.
A quiet moment suspended in time. Sunlight filters through the old glass, carving patterns onto the wooden floor. The day fades. The house stands empty… A solitary figure remains in silence, holding the weight of thought and memory. Or perhaps planning something new? Every ending is often the beginning of something else.
Stormy weather creates a very dramatic lights. Walking with a camera. Panasonic GX8 with Lumix 12-60mm lens.
As I entered this devastated hall, I was immediately struck by the dramatic power of the scene. My intention was to capture the very essence of desolation while preserving a certain beauty within the chaos. I chose to work with the faint natural light filtering in, creating these warm tones that contrast with the blackness of the debris. The perspective framing, guided by the rows of charred seats, draws the eye towards the back of the room, suggesting the immensity of the destruction.
I wanted every detail to tell a story - the twisted metal structures on the ceiling, the seats frozen in their final position, the walls bearing the scars of the disaster. This photograph isn't just a document of destruction; it's also a reflection on the fragility of our living and cultural spaces. By working with a long exposure and choosing this precise angle, I sought to create an almost surreal atmosphere, as if suspended in time, where beauty paradoxically emerges from chaos.
For Fence Friday and 100x2015 Elevated theme for the week.
A building on campus I pass daily. Was an old high school once and is now a university building hosting lots of different departments and a few classrooms.
Captured with iPhone and the Contrast the high contrast, black and white, square shooter app.
HFF to all the fence spotters and have a great weekend everyone.

Patches of very strong sunshine on the remote Upper Teesdale farming hamlet of Langdon Beck with Cronkley Scar behind it.
A snow-dusted mountain looms over sun-kissed, russet hills, casting deep shadows. This stark contrast evokes a feeling of majestic solitude and raw, untamed beauty.
Some feelings are too large for small hands, and still the hands try to hold them.
This black-and-white child portrait feels like one of those private seconds when childhood becomes suddenly full of weather. The face is framed by both hands, not in a pose of performance, but in a gesture of instinct, as though the child is trying to keep a thought, a worry, or a whole rushing world from spilling out. The eyes meet the camera directly, wide and questioning, carrying more than the mouth can say.
The darkness behind the child does not explain anything. It simply removes the noise, leaving only light, skin, curls, fingers, shadow, and expression. In monochrome, the portrait becomes less about appearance and more about feeling. The curls seem restless. The hands become a small shelter. The gaze becomes the centre of the room.
This is the power of fine-art child portraiture when it refuses easy sweetness. Childhood is not always laughter, innocence, and soft light. Sometimes it is confusion. Sometimes it is intensity. Sometimes it is a small person trying to understand a world that has suddenly grown too big.
And in that overwhelmed little face, the silence finally speaks.
Il ne fait que regarder.
Mais il voit. Tout.

Peniche peninsula is very interesting place with very unusual limestone formation which shows morphological aspects resulting from the interaction between karst and sea erosion. Joints crossing the rock have been largely karstified producing grikes and anastomosed disso\lution hollows. Along them not only sea levelling but also mechanical destruction of sea cliff and karren occurs. Caves are intersected and deep fissures enlarged creating promontories and isolated towers..
