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.

Title for this photo could be : "Searching for me?"
If you are interested in nature, Iceland is a great place to visit. Terrain in Iceland is so rugged due to centuries of volcanic activity, this is where the US tested their lunar landing module that eventually drove on the moon! Also because of Norse woodcutting and volcanic activity, there are virtually no trees on the island! There is one small "forest" that is a national landmark.
Word has it that Leif Ericsson named Iceland and Greenland like he did to get explorers to go to Greenland (only to find millions of square miles of ice). Iceland, though Greenland's neighbor, benefits from the gulf and jet streams. However, the wind blows almost constantly and reaches 100 mph (sustained for a day or two)!
Weather in Iceland can be playful, there was a rain all day when I took this photo, but suddently at the end we had this wonderful sun coming out of dark clouds. Just to give you an idea of scale of this place - those small sticks in the ground are power pole supporting wires with electricity.

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.

This was one of the last photos I took during my weekend trip to Switzerland. It was late afternoon during autumn when the shadows become very long and enhanced shapes, contours and textures of the landscape. This was one of the photos that made my trip worth visit.

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.
If you plan your trip well, this might be the view that you’ll have nearly out of your window. Kings House Hotel is one of those amazing places you can stay and practice your photography as soon as you step out of the door. I have purposely booked 2 nights there and could not be happier with the results (and all that “extra” sleep I got, while not needing to drive far as you shoot till 11.30PM and should start at 4AM if the strong will gets you out of the bed). Note that during summer time, you need to book way ahead of your trip as it is extremely popular place, especially with walkers.

Peyto Lake (pea-toe) is a glacier-fed lake located in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The lake itself is easily accessed from the Icefields Parkway.During the summer, significant amounts of glacial rock flour flow into the lake, and these suspended rock particles give the lake a bright, turquoise color. Because of its bright color, photos of the lake often appear in illustrated books, and area around the lake is a popular sightseeing spot for tourists in the park. The lake is best seen from Bow Summit, the highest point on the Icefield Parkway.

Salalah and Dhofar region offers visitors an enormous variety of things to see and do. The natural beauty of the surrounding area is breathtaking. You can witness the stunning views of dramatic mountains reaching right to the edge of the sea. You can experience wadis and beaches as well as the springs. Salalah is a coastal city located on the shores of the Indian Ocean, in the southern part of Oman. Although close to the Arabian desert, Salalah enjoys a pleasant tropical climate and even in the summer the temperatures are not too hot as the coastal fringe of Dhofar and Salalah is touched by the winds of the southwest monsoon between June and September. The surface winds encourage an upwelling of colder waters in the Indian Ocean which cool the over-lying moisture-laden air. The fog cools temperatures considerably, such that Salalah is a popular destination for Gulf visitors in the summer as a respite from the relentless heat. The phenomenon of this rain-bearing fog is known locally as the Khareef.
Lush greenness and fog is the last thing one would expect in the Middle East, especially in the middle of summer when temperatures in Kuwait are reaching nearly 60C. Salalah in Oman however offers such a retrieve during Khareef season. The hills and plains are changed to a green oasis due to drizzle downfall and water springs gush in the wadis and in the fogy hills. When the sun light touches the grass, the green is brighter than anywhere I've seen. I have waited on this spot for the light the be right for a while and love the final result.

Europe - UK - United Kingdom - England - North West England - Cumbria - Lakes - Lake District National Park - Keswick - Castlerigg Stone Circle - One of most visually impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain
Castlerigg Stone Circle (Keswick Carles, Carles, Carsles or Castle-rig) near Keswick in England is one of the most visually impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain and is the most visited stone circle in Cumbria. Every year, thousands of people make the short journey from Keswick to the plateau of Castlerigg Fell and to Chestnut Hill, on which the monument stands. This plateau forms the raised centre of a natural amphitheatre created by the surrounding fells and from within the circle it is possible to see some of the highest peaks in Cumbria: Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Grasmoor and Blencathra.
The stones are of a local metamorphic slate, set in a flattened circle, measuring 32.6 m (107 ft) at its widest and 29.5 m (97 ft) at its narrowest. The heaviest stone has been estimated to weigh around 16 tons and the tallest stone measures approximately 2.3m high. There is a 3.3m wide gap in its northern edge, which may have been an entrance. Within the circle, abutting its eastern quadrant, is a roughly rectangular setting of a further 10 stones. The circle was probably constructed around 3200 BC (Late Neolithic/Early Bronze-Age), making it one of the earliest stone circles in Britain and possibly in Europe
It is not so easy to come up with unique take on a place like Castlerigg Stone Circle, one of the most visited places in Lake District. It was raining quite heavily and the result was that there was rather large water puddle inside the stone circle and I have used it in my favor to capture this place with reflection. This angle was the lowest possible as I was holding the camera just above the water level.

Europe - UK - England - London - St. Paul's Cathedral & Millennium Footbridge - Footbridge steel suspension bridge crossing the River Thames linking Bankside with the City, located between Southwark Bridge (downstream) and Blackfriars Railway Bridge (upstream).
The London Millennium Footbridge is a footbridge steel suspension bridge crossing the River Thames in London, England, linking Bankside with the City. It is located between Southwark Bridge (downstream) and Blackfriars Railway Bridge (upstream). The bridge is owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. Construction of the bridge began in 1998, with the opening on 10 June 2000. Londoners nicknamed the bridge the Wobbly Bridge after participants in a special event to open the bridge (a charity walk on behalf of Save the Children) felt an unexpected (and, for some, uncomfortable) swaying motion on the first two days after the bridge opened. The bridge was closed later that day, and after two days of limited access the bridge was closed for almost two years while modifications were made to eliminate the wobble entirely. It was reopened in 2002.
The southern end of the bridge is near Globe Theatre, the Bankside Gallery and Tate Modern, the north end next to the City of London School below St Paul's Cathedral. The bridge alignment is such that a clear view of St Paul's south facade is presented from across the river, framed by the bridge supports.

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.

Isle of Skye - The Quirang is a fascinating rock formation on the Trotternish peninsula on Skye. It is approximately two miles north west of Staffin and six miles south east of Rubha Hunish. The Quiraing is a spectacular landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of the Trotternish Ridge on the Isle of Skye. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips; the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving, the road at its base near Flodigarry requires repairs each year.
The Trotternish Ridge lies on Skye's northernmost peninsula known as Trotternish. The northernmost summit on this ridge is known as the Quirang which has a fantastic maze of pinnacles, cliffs and flat grass tables that were formed by an ancient landslide of biblical proportions. From below these cliffs look huge, upon closer inspection you find many intricacies - scree slopes provide entrances to reveal an intricate maze of deep chasms and huge rock walls.
While looking at my photostream lately I realized I that hardly post any photos with any green color in them. No surprise I guess as there is hardly anything green in the Middle East. As I'm starting to prepare next trip to Scotland this June I went through some last year photos. Those of you that think that you'll come to Isle of Skye and you'll be welcomed by light like this, might be disappointed. You can get your share of rain rather than this wonderful light. Even thought the plan was to hike for one whole day around Quirang, the reality was that due to the weather condition we had only one early morning with such a wonderful light. I nearly didn't have enough strength to get out of bed after several days of late night shooting and early mornings. Mind you that sunset is around 11PM and sunrise around 4AM in June, you can imagine how much sleep you get when always try to capture the best light. Landscape photography is not an easy job, but with results like this it is definitely worth it.

Tree-themed songs make happiness.
you can take my body
put it in a boat
light it on fire
send it out to sea
It is a beautiful Spring evening in May .........
The Tall Bearded Iris started to come into peak season......
It is the last few minutes of the golden hour......
The setting sun started to sink into the distant horizon....
A golden shaft of magic light shine through in between the tall fir trees....
This highly regarded winner of 'the American Iris Society' light up like a star.......
For a brief moment......
It last no more than few seconds........
Just enough time for me to capture the magic light..........

Sometimes nature seems to reward you. I had spotted this storm on weather maps over the Gorges du Verdon and I drove two hours under the rain and lightnings just hoping to be there at the right place at the right time, and this time luck was on my side! Here is the most intense sunset that I have never seen, an amazing sky which later let place to a wonderful Milky Way! I had been searching for long a sky like this, with no success, I can't believe this finally happened to me!
-----------------------------------------------
Parfois la nature semble vous récompenser et vous prendre sous son aile. J'avais repéré cet orage sur les cartes météo au dessus des gorges du verdon qui devait se dégager à l'ouest le soir, j'ai roulé deux heures sous la pluie et les éclairs juste dans l'espoir d'être là au bon endroit au bon moment, après de nombreux échecs, et cette fois la chance était au rendez vous. Voici le coucher de Soleil le plus flamboyant auquel je n'ai jamais assisté, la lumière était d'une intensité inouïe, tout était orange, la route, ma peau, ma voiture, les rochers... un instant rare, un ciel magique qui a laissé place ensuite à une voie lactée étincelante!

Middle East - GCC - Qatar - Bir Zekreet Desert Landscape - Spectacular rocky limestone cliffs & formations such as desert mushroom during late afternoon warm light with lovely horizontal clouds
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.

Asia - Laos - Luang Prabang - Louangphrabang - UNESCO World Heritage Site - Ancient royal capital at confluence of Mekong River & Nam Khan river - Traditional life along the Mekong River full of long tail boats
Luang Prabang, or Louangphrabang (Lao: ຫລວງພະບາງ), Xieng Dong Xieng Thong, is a city located in north central Laos, on the Mekong River about 425 km north of Vientiane, and the capital of Louangphrabang Province. The city was formerly the capital of a kingdom of the same name. Until the communist takeover in 1975, it was the royal capital and seat of government of the Kingdom of Laos. The city is also notable as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The town of Al Wakrah (also known as Al Waqra and Al Waqrah) is located in between Umm Said and Doha. Though, originally a tiny pearling and fishing village, Al Wakra evolved itself into a small town with a population of not more than 30,000. The town has an Al Wakra museum in one of it’s old forts, that displays marine life and the history of the area. The town also has good art and architecture displays. Fishing and former pearl centre Al Wakra which is just ten minutes from Doha.
My morning shoot was planned for Al Wakra where I previously discovered a beach full of traditional dhows (boats) in front of newly built traditional fishing village, which construction is currently going on. Qatar is one of those states that tries to bring some of its traditional past back into life. Souq Waqil in Doha is a great example of it. Once this traditional fishing village is finished it will be beautiful place to wonder around. You can already find many traditional Dhows (boats) "parked" on the beach in front of the village. This photo captures one of those boats taken shortly after sunrise, not very typical for Middle East as it was rather cloudy and gave it very cold feeling.
