A quick snap of the famous view from the Pont Sant Angelo bridge. Not going to lie, had to fight to get this photo through hoards of photographers with tripods that had been camping for the "perfect moment"!
The largest global sailing competition
The Barcolana is a historic international sailing regatta held every year in the Gulf of Trieste on the second Sunday of October. Known for being one of the most attended regattas, from the 2018 edition, the Barcolana, with 2689 registered boats, is at the top in the ranking of the most crowded regattas in the world, a goal achieved and reached with commitment by the whole Sailing Company Barcola and Grignano. Currently the Barcolana is the largest regatta in the world. [3] The particular formula that distinguishes it makes it a unique event in the international sailing scene: on a single starting line in fact they find themselves competing alongside professional sailors and simple enthusiasts, on boats of various sizes that are divided into categories depending on the length all out.
La Barcolana è una storica regata velica internazionale che si tiene ogni anno nel Golfo di Trieste nella seconda domenica di ottobre. Nota per essere una delle regate con più alta partecipazione, dall’edizione 2018, la Barcolana, con 2689 imbarcazioni iscritte, si pone in vetta nella classifica delle regate più affollate al mondo, un traguardo ambito e raggiunto con impegno da tutta la Società Velica di Barcola e Grignano. Attualmente la Barcolana è la regata più grande del mondo.[3] La particolare formula che la contraddistingue la rende un evento unico nel panorama velico internazionale: su una singola linea di partenza infatti si ritrovano a gareggiare fianco a fianco velisti professionisti e semplici appassionati, su imbarcazioni di varie dimensioni che vengono suddivise in categorie a seconda della lunghezza fuori tutto.
The Shoes on the Danube monument is a harrowing reminder of the atrocities that once occurred on the banks of the Danube. Having visited in 2017 originally it was one of the sites that made the most impact in Budapest and one I knew I would return to. The second visit hit home just as much as the first and is one I will not forget.
The Red Panda was being particularly illusive when I was trying to photograph it....then when I could it stuck its damn tongue out! The cheek of it!
The St Mary's Cathedral in the Old Market Square of Krakow from underneath one of the stone arches of the Cloth Hall.
This is a bucket list item for me. In fact, this is one of the places that inspired me to get into serious landscape photography. When I first saw this geyser, I could not beleive it was real. It is!
This is not an easy place to get to. To catch sunrise, I left my home at midnight and drove through the night. I really wanted to show this in a way that has not been seen before. I shot a few hundred images here, and none show the typical views of this wonderful place. It was so hard to pick the first release from this great sequence!

So there we were on our 2nd day in Iceland in February, about to embark on a trip to Þingvellir national park in hope of seeing the aurora borealis. The leader of the group indicated our chances seemed minimal as they hadn't been seen for the best part of 10 days. Despite the opinion there was still part of me that held out hope. We embarked from Reykjavik at about 19:45 on what felt like a journey into the darkness. The further behind Reykjavik was, so was the light pollution and the darkness embraced us.
Upon arriving in the national park, a little wooden shack with a cafe was all that was in sight, behind it a large vast meadow covered in snow. I wondered out into the snow and waited for what felt like a lifetime. Nearly 3 hours into sub-zero temperatures my 10 second captures started picking up a glow. I wandered a little further as crowds of tourists started to appear trying to photograph them with their flashes on -_-. Before I knew it I was stood knee deep in snow, in sub-zero temperatures risking hypothermia for the shot I was praying would happen.
Before I knew it the sky seemed to explode in green and pink tones and dance around in front of me and over my head. 10 minutes I will never repeat nor ever forget.
One of my very first attempts with my macro lens. Plenty of hard work to be done to master it, but I love capabilities already.
The stunning drive along the Sea to Sky highway (Highway 99) from Whistler down to Vancouver. Too much scenery to just drive the road, multiple stops required to enjoy the sights and take pictures.
Whilst down on a weekend in Newquay, being able to sit on the decking and take in the sunshine with a nice cup of Cornish Coffee really was an opportunity to relax.
The SS Soldek, part of the National Maritime museum located opposite the old crane on the Motława river.
Some of the bunks prisoners were forced to stay in whilst awaiting a rather bias trial at the hands of the SS.
The “Arbeit Macht Frei” or "Work Shall Set You Free” gate stands at the entrance of Auschwitz I. This was the first lie told to the prisoners of Auschwitz on arrival. Walking under this felt eerie and somewhat uncomfortable knowing how many people had done so for their first and last time just 75 years ago.
One of the twin fountains in the Piazza Farnese. This one had some retro bicycles which made it all the better...
