British Columbia is a very magical place where nature manifests its power and beauty in its best form. You just have to keep your eyes open and beautiful compositions will come themselves. This little island in Neilson Wetland is taking bath in wonderful lake surrounded by high mountains. Reflection you see is reflection of surrounding mountains.

The little village of Elgol is one of the most photographed parts of the Isle of Skye. Elgol is an increasingly popular destination for climbers and hill walkers of all levels due to its unparalleled access to the famous Cuillin Hills and the various smaller hills dotted around wherever you look. Elgol is a crofting and fishing village in the Strath area of the Island. The small, sparsely populated village is scattered along the final mile of the road from Broadford.
Though you may never have heard of the little fishing and crofting village of Elgol in the Scottish Highlands, there is a good chance that you have seen photos of Elgol's famous mountain and seascape scenery in postcards, Scottish books and even film scenes and television programmes. From the larger Skye village of Broadford many visitors have turned down the enchanting Elgol road completely unaware of the magnificent scenes that await them around almost every corner. The 15 mile journey over twisty single-track roads will take you past High Pastures Cave, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the area, then sweep you around the corner to the ancient, historical site of Kilchrist church
Every mile you drive on your journey from Broadford to Elgol will fool you into thinking that the scenery simply cannot be bettered. However, you will be proved wrong when you arrive in Elgol and reach the shore and the little fishing harbour. There is simply nothing on earth to compare to the site of the Cuillin Hills beyond the Elgol shore - a breathtaking view whether it is sunny or stormy.
There are various opinions as to the meaning of the name, 'Elgol' (or Ealaghol in the native Gaelic, some suggesting 'The Noble Dale' and others 'The Weeping Swan' (folklore details the story of a Viking captain who perished when his longboat named 'The Swan' came to attack the people of Elgol).

Middle East - GCC - Qatar - Bir Zekreet Desert Landscape - Spectacular rocky limestone cliffs & formations such as desert mushroom during Full Moon night
Qatar might not be blessed with the most dramatic and spectacular landscape (besides those enormous natural resources that made Qatar one of the richest countries in the world.) therefore finding something unique is not so easy. Area of Zekreet provides some lovely desert formation created by the sea in ancient times.
This wonderful place is also featured in Night Sky around the World Time-Lapse Video among many other interesting and unique locations around the world.

The European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is the most commonly cultivated, although there are few important differences between species aside from detail elements such as leaf shape. The leaves of beech trees are entire or sparsely toothed, from 5–15 cm long and 4–10 cm broad. Beeches are monoecious, bearing both male and female flowers on the same plant. The small flowers are unisexual, the female flowers borne in pairs, the male flowers wind-pollinating catkins. They are produced in spring shortly after the new leaves appear. The bark is smooth and light grey. The fruit is a small, sharply three–angled nut 10–15 mm long, borne singly or in pairs in soft-spined husks 1.5–2.5 cm long, known as cupules. The husk can have a variety of spine- to scale-like appendages, the character of which is, in addition to leaf shape, one of the primary ways beeches are differentiated. The nuts are edible, though bitter (though not nearly as bitter as acorns) with a high tannin content, and are called beechnuts or beechmast.

Kleopatra/ Damlatas beach is situated on the western side of the peninsula which splits Alanya into two. The beach is said to be Alanya’s best. It is legendary for its long, fine sandy shores and many coves and inlets that are popular with boat trippers. The sand is finer and there are not many rocks or stones but the water does deepen more quickly than at the eastern beach. When Queen Kleopatra of Egypt was given the area around Alanya as a present from the Roman general Antony, she bathed at the foot of the cliff every day. Originally there was a tunnel, leading from the castle directly to her private beach, through which she was carried whenever she wanted to swim. The 3.5 kilometre long beach is also known as Damlatas beach because of the Damlatas dripstone cave on the western side of the peninsula discovered in 1948. Today the cave is one of Alanya’s many tourist attractions.

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is the largest glacier lagoon or lake in Iceland. Situated in south eastern Iceland, at the head of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier branching from the Vatnajökull, between Skaftafell National Park and Höfn, it evolved into a lagoon after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The lake has grown since then at varying rates because of melting of the Icelandic glaciers.
When I got to Iceland I realized that we might have a full moon... and as it has become my tradition I want to make use of it in my photography. Being on the ice beach of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is very special on its own... but with added Full Moon... it is the perfect combination I have not seen on any photos yet ! The night was not completely clear, but luckily clouds were not too strong and let the Moon shine through.

Europe - UK - United Kingdom - Scotland - Western Isles of Scotland - Outer Hebrides - Isle of Lewis - Island's West Coast - Callanish Standing Stones - Standing Stones of Challanish (Calanais or Chalanais in Gaelic) - One of the most spectacular megalithic sites in Scotland at Dusk - Twilight - Blue Hour
We all have those special places we always wanted to visit, Callanish Stone Circle was definitely on top of my list of such places. As you can guess, no visit to Scotland comes for free and weather can be at its most playfull.... as it was for last 3 days - near gale wind and constant drizzle, which is so famous for these islands but nothing should stop very devoted photographer from capturing what he/she had in mind... and therefore the gale and drizzle didnt stop us from taking photos at this unique location - that is also explanation for the EXIF data... I would have much rather used ISO 100, f11 and 30 sec but than the lens would get way too many drops... and I might have been blown away with the camera and tripod ;)... still despite those conditions I'm really pleased with the result ;)

Jordan - Hashemite Arab Kingdom of Jordan -Dead Sea - The Lowest Point on Earth - Spectacular Natural & Spiritual Landscape - Sea of Salt
I wanted to have this kind of photo from the Dead Sea for quite some time and although I have made multiple visits to this amazing place through the time, it never came close to this result. Luckily this particular visit finally delivered kind of results I was hoping for.

Photo was taken early morning in July on a phone while fishing. Sun began to rise and light flooded the lake. Unfortunately, there was no camera to capture all the splendor with you. So I'm sharing a snapshot from my phone. Slightly cropped.

Buachaille Etive Mòr (Scottish Gaelic: Buachaille Eite Mòr, meaning "the great herdsman of Etive"), generally known to climbers simply as The Buachaille or The Beuckle, is a mountain at the head of Glen Etive in the Highlands of Scotland. Its almost perfect pyramidal form, as seen from the A82 road when travelling towards Glen Coe, makes it one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland, and one of the most depicted on postcards and calendars. Buachaille Etive Mòr takes the form of a ridge nearly five miles (8 km) in length, almost entirely encircled by the River Etive and its tributaries. The ridge contains four principal tops: from north-east to south-west these are Stob Dearg (1022 m), Stob na Doire (1011 m), Stob Coire Altruim (941 m) and Stob na Bròige (956 m). Stob Dearg and Stob na Bròige are both Munros; the latter was promoted to Munro status by the Scottish Mountaineering Club in 1997.
The steep, craggy north-eastern face of Stob Dearg forms the classic aspect of the mountain as seen from the Kings House Hotel, and constitutes the most direct route of ascent for climbers and scramblers. Buachaille Etive Mòr is separated from its sister mountain of Buachaille Etive Beag to the west by the valley of Lairig Gartain. To the east lies Glen Etive, which provides an alternative route of ascent, heading up steep grassy slopes to the summit of Stob na Bròige.
Those of you that know Scotland well, know that this is rather classic view of this place. Even though I have been to Scotland many times by now, this was the first time I have actually found this location. The only trouble was that this summer was extremely dry across Scotland so when I finally found this place for the first time, there was nearly no water flowing through the stream/river. I was very disappointed as I was really looking forward to capture this view myself. Luckily on our way back from Isle of Skye, some rain has fallen which brought the water back to where it belongs. This shot was taken late evening (22.15PM) with sun setting behind the mountain. 60 sec exposure time allowed to take enough light and smooth the waterfall with clouds really nicely.

-1 foot tide. Hmmm, where to go with a -1 foot tide? I thought perhaps the rocks in front of the bluff at Hole in the Wall / Panther Beach might be interesting with water this low. Having never been down to see them before, I was struck by how much the rocks on the right reminded me of the rocks I've seen in photos from Adraga Beach in Portugal.
I found a comp that included them and waited for a wave to come up. This was only one of two waves the entire evening that came this high. Luckily it did so during the peak light. My sincere condolences to everyone who missed out on shooting this evening, as it was quite an inspiring sunset.

Europe - UK - United Kingdom - England - North West England - Cumbria - Lakes - Lake District National Park - Derwent Water Lake in Borough of Allerdale - South of Keswick town
Derwentwater (or Derwent Water) is one of the principal bodies of water in the Lake District National Park in North West England. It lies wholly within the Borough of Allerdale, in the county of Cumbria. The lake occupies part of Borrowdale and lies immediately south of the town of Keswick. It is both fed and drained by the River Derwent. It measures approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) long by 1 mile (1.6 km) wide and is some 72 feet (22 m) deep. There are several islands within the lake, one of which is inhabited.
I think that probably every photographer that goes to Lake District comes home with at least one photo of a wooden jetty on the lake. This one in particular is rather popular. I have tried to make it little bit my own by using torch and lighting it up against dark and stormy sky.

Have been on a hike on the southwest slope of the lava fields of Teide. Was fascinated about the canary pines there growing on the lava fields. So, I was pretty convinced there must be photographic scenes but had not the time for a really good scouting. Finally, the sunset was amazing and while right behind me the sky was glowing insane, I decided to keep on working on this composition. Thanks to my dad, which dropped me off on the trailhead and picked me up long after sunset.

Dun Briste, a spectacular sea-stack, estimated to be approximately 50 metres in height, stands 80 metres off Downpatrick Head, in the town-land of Knockaun, east of Ballycastle, Co. Mayo
Downpatrick Head is where the Atlantic has gouged a huge bay from the mighty cliffs and their summits scoured of all vegetation except grass by the ceaseless ocean winds. It is habited by many different species of birds which take up positions on the stratified face of the stack as the seasons change.
There are several stories in folklore as to how the sea-stack came to be cut off from the mainland.
One tells of Geodruisge, an ogre, who lived on the spot where the stack now stands. He was a most unpleasant character, often making life difficult for St. Patrick, who prayed frequently at the church on Downpatrick Head. The saint became exasperated, and prayed to God to put some barrier of separation between this tyrant and himself. The following morning the stack with the tyrant’s residence was found to be separated from the mainland. Geodruisg had no means of escaping and so he perished.
A long exposition shot, just to capture the fight f this static rock against the dynamic ocean. The sunny day made the emerald grass to glow.

This photo was taken early morning in the Lage Vuursche Forest on the way from Hilversum to Soestduinen. Lage Vuursche is a village in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is a part of the municipality of Baarn, and lies about 5 km west of Soest, in the middle of the forest. Drakestein, the former residence of Queen Beatrix, is situated just east of the village. An oasis of rest directly next to the big city life.

Grundarfjörður is a small town, situated in the north of the Snæfellsnes peninsula in the west of Iceland. The town is situated in front of an impressive mountain range which has a slightly alpine look. On the sea side, there is a beautiful mountain called Kirkjufell which is a diverted piece of the mountain strip Mýrarhyrna. The mountain forms a small peninsula.
The town itself is a charming, quiet, nice fishing village. Another awesome hidden corner in Iceland.
This one was shot at 1.30 a.m., with the sun pointing at North, lighting all the town and the mountains nearby. It was quite cloudy, so, again, a long exposition would spread that fantastic light through the image.

Grundarfjörður es en sí mismo un encantador y tranquilo agradable pueblo pesquero. Otro rincón escondido e increíble de Islandia.
Ésta foto fue hecha a las 1.30h de la madrugada, con el sol apuntando al Norte, iluminando todo el pueblo y las montañas cercanas. Estaba bastante nublado, por lo que, de nuevo, una larga exposición extendería esa fantástica luz a lo largo de la imagen.

Samhain V1
Samhain is an ancient Celtic festival celebrated from October 31 to November 1, marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. It is a spiritual time for pagan traditions and the Celtic New Year, believed to be when the veil between the spirit world and the human world thins, allowing spirits to cross over. Modern celebrations often involve bonfires, feasting, honoring ancestors, and reflecting on the past year to plan for the future.
What does the Bible say about Halloween? There's no mention of the holiday itself since it came into existence centuries after the Bible was written. (The holiday falls on the Gaelic festival of Samhain, considered the earliest known root of Halloween, and Halloween as we know it today became popular in the 1930's.)

Faroe Islands - Island of Viðoy - Norðoyar Region - Viðareiði - The northernmost settlement in the Faroe Islands - Classic view of Vidareidi church with cliffs of Bordoy and Kunoy islands
Although I was happy with my shots from this place during afternoon light, we still decided to come back for sunset time as it is a perfect spot for it during this time of year. This amazing light lasted for only about 10 mins after huge snow/rain/hail storm and before another one came in while the gale strong wind was trying to blow us away, however the final result is what I call the divine light...

For the first time in seven month I've been sleeping ("boofen") in our National Park again. So after crawling into my sleeping bag right at midnight I set my alarm to 4 am to be awake for sunrise. Another 30 minutes hike brought me to this spot, right above the Lorenzwand.
I did not expect to have any fog at all - the night was pretty warm - but at the lower elevations in the distance some fog stayed until a while after sunrise. I'm a little tired right now though.
Nikon D800, AF-S 20/1.8, Tripod, five exposures.

Europe - UK - United Kingdom - England - Northumberland - North East of England - Mary's Lighthouse - Whitley Bay - Tyne & Wear Coast - Tidal island linked to mainland by concrete causeway which is submerged at periods of high tide
St Mary's Lighthouse, near Whitley Bay, is on a tidal island which is linked to the mainland by a concrete causeway which is submerged at periods of high tide. The lighthouse and adjacent keepers' cottages were built in 1898. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1984.
Reached between the tides via a short causeway from the car park, St. Mary's has all the fascination of a miniature, part-time island. Visitors can climb the 137 steps inside the tower to the lantern room to enjoy spectacular views along the North East coast of England. If you cannot manage the steps, a live video facility allows you to experience the same panorama at ground level.
