Is photography art? Of course, like painting, photography is able to engage, inspire and evoke emotions in the recipient.
In the other hand, Yann Arthus-Bertrand said: “The earth is art; the photographer is only a witness.” I'm as a fine art photographer trying to capture most iconic landmarks in a unique and fresh way to inspire you to see this beautiful world we live in.
Seeing through the lens the abstract and wonderful world of Antelope Canyon, you can understand how the light reflects off the walls, filling the shadows, and the colors radiate holiness from the rocks. The captivating beauty of these sandstone canyons awakens the senses and inspires the spirit. The whole scene has a magical glow created by the light of the canyon.
Smooth, sensuous lines and vibrant abstract colors make this canyon a stunning and astonishing shooting location.
The red light of the canyon casts a glow that only the camera can capture. It's like another world in the frame. The canyon looks like it was carved out by a Master craftsman. So it really is, and this amazing masterpiece revealed to our admiring eyes!
What do you see in this masterpiece of nature and what feelings does it evoke in you?
It's a joy to share my favorite images with you as an art form and to bring peaceful feelings and good memories to your home. I do any kind of art prints and you can check it here: www.etsy.com/shop/AlexDahovPhoto
This would be greatly appreciated, and thank you for supporting the local arts.

At times Tuesday evening was beginning to feel a bit frustrating. We'd arrived a couple of hours before sunset in the hopes of catching surfers in front of Godrevy Lighthouse at high tide with the long lens, but neither of us had thought to check the sea conditions. The water was unusually flat and limpid, even for a summer evening. One or two regulars sat astride their boards in the sea chattering to each other, but nobody was surfing in the true sense of the word.
So we waited for sunset to catch more images to add to what I've rather lazily entitled my "Silhouettes on the Shore" collection. To my enduring surprise I've actually started to sell one or two of them. As the backdrop went bright orange I waited for someone, anyone to walk across the wet sand which had so recently been submerged under the now retreating tide.
Nobody had the good grace to stroll across the scene looking enigmatic, preferably carrying a surfboard at a pleasing angle for this particular onlooker. Two young lads went past with skimmer boards, but settled on a spot to the left of the best patch of light. The two young ladies who'd been entertaining themselves with a paddleboard for some time eventually emerged from the sea and walked across the scene, perfectly reflected in the wet sand. I'd been waiting for this moment for ages, but with one at each end they struggled with the enormous board as if they were carrying a heavy wardrobe. For a moment I could hear Bernard Cribbins singing "Right Said Fred" in my head as I watched them. It wasn't quite what I was looking for. Eventually I decided that I would become the subject of my own composition and left Lee to operate my camera as well as his own as I strode heroically across the viewfinder in the fading light. But it was too dark and side on I look like a duck anyway. Finally I had given up and took a photo of Godrevy Lighthouse in pastel pink shades instead.
Happily one of two earlier passers by had made eye catching subjects, especially this young chap running effortlessly at the water's edge, who was good enough to ensure that both of his feet were off the ground as I hit the shutter on my camera. That never happens when anyone photographs me running. On each such occasion I've been replaced by a grimacing middle aged man dragging his feet along the ground looking like someone needs to prop him up rather urgently - but that's another story.
Wheal Coates was busier than I’d have liked it to be. It is the start of half term I suppose, and on the previous day I’d already witnessed the evidence of a massed cavalcade of fun seekers heading along the A30 towards our far flung corner of the country as I’d tried to make my own short journey east towards a wet and windy Ladock Wood. The approach to Wheal Coates entails a stretch of single lane tarmac where it’s normal to have to pull in for the odd passing car and exchange of the quintessentially British “thank you” waves as you make your way along it. Even in summer I generally only have to stop a couple of times. Yesterday no less than ten cars decided to travel in the opposite direction as I tried to make progress along it. I even had to reverse twice. One of the beneficiaries of my generosity didn’t even bother to wave. Quietly unimpressed I continued.
When I arrived in the small car park it seemed even more full than at any time I saw it in July or August. A father chided his son for unidentifiable reasons as they approached the car right next to where I had parked. I decided to stay put until their squabble was done and they were on the way to wherever they were going as the latest of the bands of rains that had been passing throughout the day came straight over us. At least the light looked promising. Finally deciding it was safe to leave the car without involuntarily joining anyone else’s domestic troubles I headed down the main path, taking a right hand turn to a place where I fancied I’d find some space to myself.
Unfortunately, the spot I settled on for my composition guaranteed that the isolation I always look for wasn’t going to happen. Wheal Coates always attracts both locals and visitors along its web of clifftop paths, and I’d set my tripod up next to the South West Coast Path itself. I’d arrived with the intention of looking for some strong foreground interest to work with my wide angle lens, but was immediately drawn to the spray drifting over huge rocks in the sea a few miles along the coast, which found me reaching for the telephoto instead. Within moments the light changed for the better and the girl in the wellies, accompanied by an older companion with a dog yards behind her strolled into the scene. As the opportunity to catch a moment thudded somewhere between my ears it struck me that I only wanted a single figure in the foreground, and with the camera off the tripod I had to go for a quick, handheld composition before the rest of the party joined her. I soon forgot the shot as the light intensified with a dark bluish cloud complementing the sunlit orange tones in the foreground heather – that almost sounds as if I know what I’m on about.
The stream of humans continued, a young chap engaging me on the subject of art and photography before racing off to find his easel so he could paint St Agnes Beacon. Later I was joined by another local photographer, who asked if he could set up next to me. I learned to my surprise that he was a dairy farmer with a herd of 400 cows and lived next to Ladock Wood, the scene of my previous photo taken a day earlier. I was amazed that he found time for any hobbies at all. I think he was too. Sadly for him he’d missed the best of the light, the sun sinking behind a bank of ominous slate grey cumulus and with no apparent intention of reappearing for the rest of the evening.
And so I returned home to review my images, deciding that this one with the sea spray spreading over the cliffs was the one to share with you. The trouble was that it wasn’t level – I often struggle with horizons – and when I tried to straighten it the girl in the wellies ended up right at the edge of the frame. So I had to move her. Not bodily you understand – we hadn’t been properly introduced and there’s a pandemic on as you’re probably aware. I’d never tried this before and in truth my Photoshop skills are more or less non-existent. But somehow I blundered my way through yet another hack and lifted her up and moved her five yards along the path. I’d rather not have done this, but very occasionally you just have to. It doesn’t seem to be that much of an untruth when some people routinely use sky replacement tools in their final images – although I should add there’s nothing wrong with that if it’s what works for you. It's all about choice - it's just that I won't be doing it because to me, photos are about moments, memories and feelings.
Content that she was now more comfortably positioned I looked closer into the image and saw people everywhere. Usually I prefer to cull unwanted participants in my images, but as I was about to hit the content aware fill command on the first group I hesitated. They were part of the story after all, I reasoned. And so they’ve stayed just where I found them - enjoying a Sunday stroll on a wind blown Cornish clifftop.
Dave had already disappeared, seemingly swallowed by the forest and its secrets. Maybe he just wanted to escape the endless drizzle, but something told us otherwise. In the woods, Dave can see things that escape me entirely. We knew it would be at least an hour until we saw him again. Dave was entering Dave World, a place where everything makes sense and all is calm. He’d be just fine.
By his own admission, Lee wasn’t feeling the love. He couldn’t see the forest sprites emerging from the mist. “Everything is just a tangled mess!” he complained as he watched Carl and I creeping around the mossy boulders at the edges of this magical dark green world. Lee likes minimal, and this was anything but. Maybe he’d find a lone tree for his Leica somewhere outside the woodland. But with the filthy elements in such a persistent mood, his state of the art camera stayed in the bag.
On the walk from the car park, I mostly chatted with Carl. Carl and I had been “friends” on another platform for a couple of years by now, and although he only lives just over the border in west Devon, this was the first time we’d met. We had much to talk about, including his autumn workshop visit to Iceland, which had been interesting to say the least. We shared future plans, anecdotes on locations and even more importantly, he told us that the Fox Tor Cafe in Princetown had excellent reviews. That was lunch sorted then.
While Carl had been here a handful of times, this was just my second visit. The first time had been six years earlier, when I’d placed reasonably well in the over fifties category in a nearby 10k trail race that took us from the high ground at Castle Drogo down into the depths of Fingle Woods alongside the River Teign, another location I’ve long wanted to photograph but still not made it to. On that day my partner in crime was Emma, an old friend of many years whose race plan was always the complete opposite of mine. Whereas she’d charge off from the starting line like a bull at a gate, I’d struggle to find an early rhythm and be wheezing away like a broken accordion. Towards the end I’d be settled in, breathing evenly and feeling strong, by which time she’d be hyperventilating noisily and demanding more Haribo. We stuck together throughout the course, each taking turns to swear and curse at the other for dragging them out on a soaking March morning - all because the finishers’ medals looked so delightfully blingy. “Give ‘em a shiny thing for getting over the finish line and they’ll come in numbers,” said the organisers to themselves. The language from my companion in that last steep uphill mile was especially fruity that day.
After more than six miles of purgatory in running shoes, Emma had gone to spend the afternoon with her in-laws who lived nearby. I’d brought my camera gear with intentions to ignore the fast road and roll back across the moor. The wood had been one of the two places I planned to visit. “Now let’s see - trail running shoes, check. Compression socks, check. Waterproof winter trousers, check. Welly boots, double check.” It seemed I had everything I needed - except for the conditions. That day I carefully focus stacked a strangely symmetrical frame among the carnage, but in retrospect I’m not sure it was worth the bother. To make this place ping, you really need a bit of mist. Or a lot more skill in Photoshop than I possessed.
Today, six years later things were pinging quite nicely. I mean you can always have more fog of course, but the meteorological lottery was rewarding us well for our efforts. And we’d started very early, which you probably know isn’t my thing at all. In fact, when I later told one of you that I’d been up before 6am in preparation for this outing, he demanded to know who’d hacked into my Whatsapp and threatened to call the authorities. But yes, we’d arrived here at eight, met a few moments later by Carl, and slooshed our way through the mud to the woods, enveloped in a grungy grey curtain, just as we’d hoped for.
It might take a while to start to see things, but when you do, it’s really quite rewarding. Nick, who joined us a little later, has been here countless times, yet he told us he still often finds new shapes emerging from the mist. And now, as I stole away from the others and headed a few yards north, I found the lollipop stick, poking through a mossy “V” shaped frame. No faffing around with focus stacks this time, just a straightforward thumbprint on the main attraction and let everything else recede into a blur. There’s so much waiting here to be discovered.
Dave had that quiet smugness about him which always means he’s found a masterpiece. Carl looked happy enough too. Lee was chewing a Snickers bar. I think the Leica had come out briefly, but he was really saving it for the lone hawthorns we’d find elsewhere later. For three of us at least, the first full day had started well, but it was time to move on and find the next location.
A beautiful storm was brewing behind these unique landscapes and the light was just super moody and was lovely to experience..It was super windy and took a lot of time to remove dust spots during the edit

"One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs
And the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls"--Saeb-e-Tabrizi
The title of Khaled Hosseini's book A Thousand Splendid Suns is based on this poem by the 17th century Persia poet Tabrizi...
Was walking around in the foggy days of November, when this scene caught my eye. The leaves are still turning, but the brown colors start to dominate. In particular, I like the almost leafless branches and how they appear as sketchy lines in a pencil drawing.

An aerial view of the mesmerizing sand dunes of Namibia, sculpted by the relentless winds over centuries. The golden hues of the sun bring life to the desert, highlighting its soft curves and intricate textures. A landscape both serene and untamed, where nature paints its masterpiece with light and shadow.
This expansive Peak District landscape captures a sweeping view across rolling hills, patchwork fields, and distant settlements, with Win Hill Pike rising subtly on the horizon. The wide composition gives the scene a strong sense of openness, allowing the viewer’s eye to travel from the textured foreground grasses into the layered valleys beyond.
The artistic concept focuses on distance, perspective, and the quiet drama of the British countryside. Soft clouds cast shifting light across the land, revealing the contours of the hills and the rhythm of rural life below. The image presents the landscape as both vast and intimate: a place shaped by weather, walking routes, and the slow passage of time.

High above the coast of Northern Norway, the evening sun breaks through a veil of clouds — a final golden salute before sinking into the sea.
Captured near Horn, just north of Brønnøysund, the view stretches all the way to the horizon where the silhouette of Torghatten gently pierces the light.
A landscape shaped by time, softened by water, and illuminated by moments like this — fleeting, yet eternal.

The film: youtu.be/Qjq47Wiyko8
I've always been quite pleased with the fact that Nancy Sinatra topped the charts in the UK with the song that I've used to name this image in the week I was born. Top of the chart for four consecutive weeks she kept "Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown" by the Rolling Stones at bay in the number 2 slot, with the Mindbenders at number 3 with "Groovy Kind of Love." When she was eventually toppled, it was by the Walker Brothers with "The Sun Aint Gonna Shine Anymore." Darn, music was good in 1966. If I'd been born a few years later my entry into the world might have been heralded by Joe Dolce, or Rene and Renato, or even St Winifred's School Choir. So I'm glad that I arrived in 1966, just in time to witness England win the World Cup and the Beatles take things up a notch with the release of the still fresh sounding "Revolver." Cool Britannia indeed.
The reason for the name of the image comes from the fact that I was hiking when I took this image in the spring of 2018. The West Highland Way is one of the most popular long distance trails in the UK and runs from Milngavie, just north of Glasgow, to Fort William at the gateway to the western isles and the highlands of the far north of Scotland. Officially measured at 96 miles (although two of us with GPS trackers both recorded 108), it will probably take you between 4 and 8 days, depending upon how much you want to enjoy it or whether you're in a hurry to get to the pubs in Fort William before closing time. It will take you across some of the most stunning and remote scenery in Britain as you gradually accumulate the miles, leaving edge of town parkland and passing through gentle pastures towards 20 odd miles along the unsullied east bank of Loch Lomond. Once your time along the famous loch is done, the scenery ahead of you becomes ever more imposing and dramatic as you make your way through the Scottish Highlands towards lonely Rannoch Moor. the largest wilderness in Britain. And then you will arrive here, beneath the Great Herdsman, Buachaille Etive Mor at the gateway to the mythical Glencoe pass, where the Three Sisters stand opposite the Aonach Eagach ridge, towering above you on either side and reminding you how small and insignificant you really are.
We'd been here before more than once, the first time on our first West Highland Way hike three years earlier, and then a mountain walking expedition when I'd stood on its summit before visiting four months earlier than this moment for what remains the most rewarding and productive photography trip of my life. Each time this mountain, possibly the most photographed in the entire UK, has dominated the visit. Its sheer enormity and darkly brooding presence demands attention. This image was a bit of a grab and go affair as I quickly strayed from the path while my fellow hikers ignored me and carried on striding purposefully towards the famed and feared Devil's Staircase. I liked the "mini me" conical rock in the middle of the River Etive that mirrored the giant in the background. Not the sharpest photo I've taken, but one that brings back special memories of a wonderful few days when the usually damp and fickle Scotland basked inexplicably under sultry Mediterranean skies..
I've enjoyed making the most of what I have around me during this difficult year and I know I'm luckier than many in being surrounded by some of the most dramatic coastal scenery anywhere. But when we can travel more widely again, the distant northern echo of the Scottish Highlands is going to be tugging away at the imagination. I can't wait to be able to return.
Something different, in 1-1. I'm not using that format often, but I think it fits this portrait perfectly.

Never saw this before and most probably, that's why I'm likely to call this my "Picture of the trip", without really looked through a lot of shots.
He was standing at the end of a small water-crossing, blocking our way back and taking his time to drink, having a little mud-shower and itching himself on the dead tree stumps around.
When he sat down, I couldn't believe it and I'm so happy to get a few good shots of that moment. :)
The quaint village of Vernazza in Cinque Terre is known for its picturesque scenery and charming atmosphere. This stunning seascape photograph captures the beauty of Vernazza at sunset, with the soft purple hues of the sky perfectly complementing the tranquil blue waters. With its colorful buildings and peaceful seaside location, Vernazza is a true gem of the Italian Riviera. This photograph is a perfect reminder of the tranquility and beauty that Vernazza has to offer.

Looking back... she was sitting on the river bench, but I didn't found out, what caught her attention.
This incredible spot is like a time capsule where an old woman lovingly collects and preserves treasures from the past. From vintage clothing to antique paintings, handmade dolls to classic straw hats – every item tells a story of days gone by. ️👒🎻
Walking through this place feels like flipping through the pages of history, with each object whispering secrets of a simpler time.

“Part of the urge to explore is a desire to become lost.” ~Tracy Johnston
Bryce Canyon National Park
We almost didn't make it to this one. As I explained on my second chance Monday post, a big winter storm hit the area on the day we were going to drive to Bryce. The park even closed. So we headed to Zion where the weather wasn't as bad. On our last day the storm suddenly ended, so we decided to get up early and head out to Bryce, then come back to Zion and hike Angel's Landing before driving back to Vegas that night. It was a big day, but completely worth it. Bryce looked amazing covered in a pristine blanket of fresh white powder. It brought out the beauty, color, and details of the amazing rock formations.
And once again, no crowds. :)
