Netherlands is always a paradise but when it is spring it turns extra paradise. These beauties parade all along the field competing with each other.
This is the beginning of my series in which I take you in the Journey to visit these colorful beauties. First of the series is the WHITE BEAUTY.

Rim light on dunes near sunset, Death Valley National Park.
For the most part I avoided tourist-popular places during my recent visit to Death Valley. However, I confess that I did camp in a well-known parking lot, uh, I mean campground for one night so that I could be closer to sand dunes. On that evening and again the following morning I headed out to some places along the edges and back of the dune fields to photograph this always-fascinating subject.
This photograph comes from the evening shoot, for which I headed to a spot where I find sequences of receding dune crests that are perpendicular to the setting sun. I aimed almost exactly in the direction of the sun just as it was about to drop behind mountains, and I performed some gymnastics in order to shade the lens and minimize flare. On a technical note, this subject provided the opportunity to use a special setup — a medium format zoom lens attached to my full frame camera using an adapter that provides tilt and shift adjustments.

Taken at Boundary Bay, BC, Canada - September 2016.
While birding last weekend at Boundary Bay, I spotted some golden plovers mixed in with the abundant Black-bellied Plovers. There were 4 Pacific Golden-Plovers and 2 American Golden-Plovers. Approaching plover flocks is usually extremely difficult, and the tide was also very high, which meant that if I was going to approach the birds, I would get soaking wet. I decided to go for it, since it is very rare to see such a large group of golden-plovers in this area. The water was about 5 inches deep, meaning I got soaking wet as a crawled towards the birds, holding my camera above the surface, keeping it dry. Thankfully, the mud was hard and there was no wind or waves, so I felt my gear was very safe. After a very slow approach for a long time, I found myself around 4 metres away from these beautiful birds. In the years I have photographed shorebirds at Boundary Bay I have had many amazing moments, but this was definitely one of my favorite ones ever. I got the shots I had hoped for of Pacific-Golden, American-Golden, and Black-bellied Plovers. I got soaking wet, but it was undoubtedly worth it! After some time with the birds I moved off, leaving them to their resting and feeding.

A low-angle, monochrome view looking up at the Mercury Tower in St. Julian's, Malta. Designed by the late Zaha Hadid, this is the tallest building in the Maltese islands. The shot captures the dramatic 12-degree twist between the 10th and 12th floors, contrasting the futuristic glass and concrete against a dynamic sky.
