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.

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.

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.

Europe - UK - United Kingdom - England - Dorset - Jurassic Coast - UNESCO World Heritage Site - Durdle Door Beach - Famous rock formation & natural limestone sea arch near Lulworth - One of the most iconic landmarks in Great Britain
Durdle Door is one of the most photographed landmarks along the Jurassic Coast. This rock arch in the sea was formed as a result of the softer rocks being eroded away behind the hard limestones, allowing the sea to punch through them. Eventually the arch will collapse to leave a sea stack such as those that can be seen at Ladram Bay in East Devon. Below the cliffs lies a sweeping beach that was once three separate coves.
Of all of Dorset's beautiful and varied coast, the stretch from Worbarrow Bay to Osmington is supreme. Whitenose, Durdle Door, Lulworth and Mupe Bay are contained in this area. Green fields, rugged chalk cliffs and pebble beaches dominate this stretch of the coast. The Dorset Coast Path, part of the South West Way, leads you up hill and down dale along these beautiful Dorset Cliffs. Durdle Door is one of Dorset's most recognisable features. On a clear day you can see along the Jurassic Coast westwards towards Portland and eastwards towards Man of War Bay and Lulworth Cove.

Middle East - Iran - Isfahan Province - Abyaneh - Abianeh - One of the oldest villages in Iran with ancient houses built from peculiar reddish hue mud
Photo of Karkas mountains taken from hill next to Abyaneh village. Karkas mountain chain or Karkas (Persian رشته كوه كركس Reshteh kuh-e Karkas) is located in Central Iran. It ranges from Kashan to Ardestan over more than 100 km and is mainly composed of igneous (plutonic and volcanic), pyroclastic and somewhat sedimentary Tertiary rocks. In the central part, this mountain chain consists of a Precambrian-Paleozoic basement. The highest peak of the Karkas Mountains is 3895m which is close to Natanz.

It is being said that a picture is worth a thousand words and it is very true statement, however what if you put thousands of pictures together ? Here are two videos that I put together from several weeks in Iceland, those sleepless nights spent in freezing temperatures in unique Icelandic landscape were surely worth it.
Timelapse movies had become my new way of capturing my travels besides regular photography.
Check out these Icelandic timelapse videos :
► NORTHERN LIGHTS OVER JÖKULSÁRLÓN - THE GLACIER LAGOON, ICELAND
or
► NORTHERN LIGHTS - AURORA BOREALIS OVER WESTERN ICELAND
I had the incredible luck to experience once in a life time Northern lights show created by huge Solar storm which brought unseen colors ranging from the usual green, yellow to red, purple or even blue, to the sky all over Nordic countries and even all the way to the south of UK. Add several other lucky nights with smaller or large Aurora Borealis appearance in unique landscape of Iceland and the result is relatively lot of footage for my first ever time-lapse video.
Europe - Iceland - South Iceland - Vík í Mýrdal during Northern lights, also known as Aurora Borealis produced by solar wind particles guided by Earth's field lines to the top of the atmosphere

Khongor Sand Dunes are the largest and most spectacular sand dunes in Mongolia. Also known as the ‘singing dunes’, they are up to 800 m high, 20 km wide and about 100 km long. Top of the dunes can be climbed and the views of the desert from the top are indescribable.
I was wondering around and enjoying the majestic views of dunes when my eyes spotted this beautiful play of shadow and light. It is slightly different desert photo than we are used to but I am very happy with the artistic results it creates, even I've originally went there for very typical sunrise desert photos.

Hvítserkur is the last remains of a central volcano, it is an injection of magma directly to the sea about 15m high. Legend states that this is a troll turned into stone when he was surprised by the sun while attacking a nearby abbey with rocks.
The sea erosion has carved holes through its foundations and sculptured it in the unique shape it is today. Some say it is in the shape of a petrified monster.
It was the sunrise time at 3 a.m., after shooting the horses under the Midnight Sun, I decided to take a photograph of Hvítserkur just when the sun was behind the rock, so I could watch some light crossing it through its holes...a long exposure would give a nice mood to the image.
Hvítserkur, Vatnsnes, Iceland. 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Hvítserkur es lo último que queda de un volcán central, y es una roca que emergió de un brote de magma directamente en el Océano que tiene unos 15m de altura. La leyenda dice que se trata de un troll que se convirtió en piedra cuando fue sorprendido por el sol, mientras atacaba una abadía cercana al mar.
La erosión del mar ha esculpido sus agujeros en la base de la roca y ha esculpido, lentamente, la forma única que tiene hoy.... parecida a la de un monstruo petrificado.
Era el amanecer a las 3 de la mañana, y después de fotografiar a los caballos bajo la luz del sol de medianoche, decidí ir a Hvítserkur y tomar una foto justo cuando el sol estaba saliendo por detrás de la roca, creando un halo a su alrededor y viendo el reflejo de su luz cruzando a través de los agujeros ... una larga exposición podría darle más ambiente a la imagen.
Hvítserkur, Vatnsnes, Islandia. 2010.

This photo was taken in Beyal Camp which is a wonderful place surrounded with beautiful thick Pine forest, spellbinding views of Raikot Glacier and Nanga Parbat.
The mountain in the picture is Nanga parbat (also known as Nangaparbat Peak or Diamir) is the 9th highest mountain on Earth and the 2nd highest in Pakistan. Nanga Parbat has tremendous vertical relief over local terrain in all directions. To the south, Nanga Parbat boasts what is often referred to as the highest mountain face in the world: the Rupal Face rises an incredible 4,600 m (15,000 feet) above its base. To the north, the complex, somewhat more gently sloped Rakhiot Flank rises 7,000 m (22,966 feet) from the Indus River valley to the summit in just 27 km, one of the 10 greatest elevation gains in so short a distance on Earth. Nanga Parbat is the fastest growing mountain on Earth and it is still growing about 7mm a year (but dont ask me how they measure it!)
No digital manipulation was done here. The moon is where it really was.

Europe - UK - United Kingdom - England - North West England - Cumbria - Lakes - Lake District National Park - Crummock Water - Lake situated between Buttermere & Loweswater
The Lake District, also known as The Lakes or Lakeland, is a rural area in North West England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous for its lakes and its mountains (or fells), and its associations with the early 19th century poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the Lake Poets.
Lake District is by far my favorite destination in England. It is very magical place that has such a great potential for landscape photography. However as it is always with landscape photography, you need to be lucky for the weather (especially in UK) and the light. When these two are right Lake District offers great possibilities.

This is the midnight sun. It is just past midnight 00:30 AM and the sunset never disappears and merges with the sunrise. What an amazing light, it is just breathtaking.
The glowing mountain is probably Stangnesfjellet.
At the fourth attempt I got the conditions I wanted at this little woodland scene. The last glow from the sun hitting the snowcapped trees, and a soft layer of mist/clouds reflecting the sunlight down on the foreground, giving it some life. Tried to preserve as much of the softness to the scene as possible while working with the contrast in post!

Tyre is a beautiful town on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It is located at the meeting point of three continents and, as such, has been the crossroads of many civilizations whose traces may still be seen today. Tyre was a major Phoenician seaport from about 2000 BC onwards through the Roman period.

This photo was taken during very early and very windy morning. I particularly like those sunrays coming from the blowing sand and soft layers of the dunes. There are two men, one standing and one of trying to hide from blowing sand.
Morocco and especially Sahara desert with its very dark skies is perfect for seeing and also capturing the night sky with the glorious Milky Way. The sky in the desert is wonderfully dark with minimum light pollution, which gives a great sight, which you can also see in the :

I was hoping for a nice sunrise with some fog below and it looked like this would work our during blue hour. but a few minutes before the sun peeked above the rocks the scenery literally drowned in the fog rising from the valleys below.
Not quite what I hoped for but this makes up for a nice mood anyway. After all this is autumn already.

Qatar is a small (11,000 sqkm) but indubitably important Persian Gulf nation; aside from oil, more natural gas reserves are found here than anywhere except Iran and Russia. It is nearly totally surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf. The country is flat with some rocky outcrops up to 130 feet (40 m) high, with the desert landscape ranging from rocky shrub-land to beautiful sand dunes, and some bleak salt flats in the centre of the country.
On my way from Nepal I've decided to have half a day stop over there too. Rented a car and went directly to desert to be rewarded with some stunning desert shots which I didn’t hope for. This one was taken just before sunset. The wind was blowing strong and dust was flying in the wind with wonderful evening light. I particularly love this shot for its timeless feel.

Watching the sun rise or set over the sand dunes of Merzouga may be the most spectacular experience you have on your trip to Morocco. The Erg Chebbi, the name of these sand dunes, is said to have some of the highest dunes in Morocco. Indeed, the dunes and the desert wildlife are impressive.
The dunes of Erg Chebbi is a strikingly strange natural formation. On the top of the flattest area you could imagine, suddenly a long mountain of sand rises. This mountain is surrounded by flat and desolate nature on all sides, and you could end up wondering if it really is real. But so it is, even if its existence is so weird that it has given rise to lengeds and myths among the locals. One legend tells us that the dunes of Erg Chebbi were created by God as a punishment to the locals of nearby Merzouga after they refused to give shelter to a woman and her child during a local festival. A sandstorm came, and buried the village of Merzouga is it was then.
