Our family horse ranch has a wonderful, rolling valley for the horses to wander in. It was a dream of my folks to be able to wake up in the am and watch the horses from the deck while sipping a coffee. This is sunset, not sunrise, but the effect is similar.
What a warm colorful sunset it was in Athens, Colors of the sky fusing together with the clouds and creating a masterpiece for the eyes.
Of course a camera is not match for our own natural optical devices thus it was very hard to process.

Mongolia is an amazing country and as soon as you get out of Ulaanbaatar you are in the middle of nowhere, where you can use only dust roads with no signs and no idea where you might be heading. This was our first stop and my first Mongolian Hotel outside Ulaanbaatar. I got up very early in the morning to capture this beautiful scene during sunrise.
These structures are commonly called the ger or yurt. It is one of the two basic forms of portable housing that have been used by the nomads of Tibet, Mongolia and China since the time of Marco Polo. It remains today as the primary form of portable housing in Mongolia and Tibet. The ger of the thirteenth century nomad was a circular structure measuring twelve to fifteen feet in diameter. Its walls were a five foot tall latticework, called a khana, made of willow branches that were lashed together with yak or horsehair twine. Willow poles were lashed to the top of the wall section and were brought together at the top to form a conical shaped roof. A single upright pole supported the peak of the roof.
Gers were covered with several panels of felt made of either goat or camel hair. The gers of thirteenth century Tibet were structurally the same as their Mongolian counterparts, and were covered with felts made from yak hair rather than goat. The number of layers of felt varied, depending on the season. Felts were soaked in either tallow or milk to repel moisture. The gers of wealthier nomads were much larger, and were coated with lime or white clay mixed with powdered bone, again white being a symbol of status. Those who were not as wealthy painted decorations around the smoke hole of their natural brown-black tents. The panels were then secured to the framework of the ger with ropes. The doorway, which always faced south, was covered with a flap of felt, which was either painted or appliquéd with multi-colored designs of birds, animals, vines and trees.

Asia - Laos - Vientiane Province - Vang Vieng - Small traditional town surrounded by Limestone Hills - Nam Song River with long tail boats
Vang Vieng is a small town surrounded by mountains & rivers. The main attractions are caves, Hmong villages, and the natural mountain scenery. A favorite with travelers - many stay longer than planned. However this town became too famous for them and became a party village. Music and noise last until late night. The market is located five kilometers north of the town selling Lao textiles, household items and several stalls selling dubious foodstuffs. It is possible for stalls to sell bats, squirrels, monkeys, rats, mice and other animals as food. In the town there is a wat that is notable in looking rundown and keeping its valuables chained behind a door.
The real attractions of the area are the scenery, the limestone hills and the numerous caves and caverns. Vang Vieng is set along the banks of the Nam Song River. In the near distance towering behind Vang Vieng are the most incredible rock formations. They are jagged limestone karsts that tower above the jungle - steep walls which have somehow eluded the jungle's grasp. In the morning hours a fine mists hovers just above the jungle at the base of these formations. In the evenings they form an incredible back drop for picture taking during the "golden hour."

Second picture of the series City of Science Dawn.
Magical sunrise over the City of Science from my hometown Valencia.
The main difference from my previous photo, is that this have the reflection on the water and black and white.
Having so much light, but i wanted to make a very long exposure with painting trace in the clouds.
To reach this picture in one unique Raw, I combined a screwed neutral filter of ten steps and black card technique.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Sunday. :)

Fourth picture of the series Lonely.
(Horizontal view, a few minutes after the Sunset, just at Blue Hour).
Tired of photographing the most characteristic and saturated places in the area, I went to a zone of very bad access between rice fields.
The result was finding this lonely boat just to the side of a rural road.
I waited for sunset, and after a few minutes right at the blue hour, there was luck and some cloud came to be reflected in the water.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Wednesday. :)

I am more mischievous than Dennis the Menace
Gawky cops couldn't catch me in this tunnel à la Venice
I took my pants off and show them my ugly p*nis
Wacky Chucky shout: “Hey dude you and your colleague are rube”
It’s a joy to mess with clumsy Moe five-o
And his partner silly Billy boy
They are bumpkin and dumb as a pumpkin
I sold million times near them first class weed
Their intelligence is lower than a local hayseed
They are also a very bad shooters
From their bullets I would never bleed
I shot them straight between the eyes
Oh mama I heard their cries
Hey hick your bullets always miss
Luckily they hits the brick
In the Bronx someone play song from Milli Vanilli
Hey Billy boy you are hillbilly
Bang bang I will run away
In the rhythm of the Wu-Tang Clan
Thanks for the good time Moe
But now it's time to go
Sayonara suckers
See you next time motherfuckers
Maybe I am America's most wanted public enemy
But for this cool rhymes I deserves a Grammy
P.s. Dirty popo can kiss my ass
* Your honor I don’t have nothing with this story, I was just a photographer. I helped Chuck only with few rhymes. Chucky wrote this true story from his life. He used different slang words for police (bobby, cops, five-o, popo). He also use many words to describe cops as yahoo - uneducated, uncultured country folks (rube, hick, hayseed, bumpkin).
Billy boy = a boy who makes tea and does other jobs for a group of workers. Billy Boy is also a condom brand. Other cop he called Moe because he looks like Moe Szyslak from cartoon The Simpsons.
I recommend you song Mo-Do - Eins Zwei Polizei, Chucky recommend you song Dio - I Speed At Night.
Amazing 5 minute golden hour at the sunset after a thunderstorm.

A new experience to me, exploring slot canyons of Utah, I was too big and tall and struggled to get through some of these, really a strange but awesome experience. The Mid-Day sun makes for glorious colors on the canyon walls.

Antalya (formerly known as Adalia or Attalia; from Pamphylian Greek: Αττάλεια Attáleia) is a city on the Mediterranean coast of southwestern Turkey, and the capital city of Antalya Province. Situated on coastal cliffs, Antalya is surrounded by mountains. It is not known when the site of the current city was first inhabited. Attalos II, king of Pergamon, was believed to have founded the city around 150 BC, naming it Attalia and selecting it as a naval base for his powerful fleet. However, excavations in 2008 in the Doğu Garajı district of Antalya have uncovered remains dating to the 3rd century BC, suggesting that the city was founded earlier than previously supposed. Antalya became part of the Roman Republic in 133 BC when King Attalos III of Pergamum willed his kingdom to Rome at his death. Development and investment, began in the 1970s, have transformed the city into a major international resort.
I dont know why, but when hearing Antalya before my last trip, I pictured kilometers of sandy beaches covered with one resort next to each other, sunbed next to sunbed ... simply perfect place for the mass tourism and last place I'd like to spend my holiday. Bigger the surprise when arriving to the beautiful boutique hotel in the very center of old Antalya called Kaleiçi. It is restored historical center of the city - with its hotels, bars, clubs, restaurants, and shopping. It retains much of its historical character. The city includes sites with traces of Lycian, Pamphylian, and Hellenistic -but mainly Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman- architecture and cultures. Old city is now beatifically transformed and most of the wonderful Otoman houses are now hotels with lot of charm.
This particular beach location was more of a surprise as I planned to shoot the morning blue hour in the old harbor (after checking to the hotel at 1AM, 5AM wake up call is something we all dream off !! ) Blue hour shoot in the harbor didn't give me what I was hoping for, but I didn't give up and just wondered around as the sun was rising up behind the city beautifully coloring the mountains on the horizon. I've discovered small, rather hidden beach with beautiful rocks which created perfect foreground for this shot.

Middle East - Sultanate of Oman - Dhofar Province - Salalah Area - صلالة - Ṣalālah - Rakhyut - Rakhyot - Beach village on scenic coastal location along Indian Ocean surrounded by rugged mountains during Khareef - Rainy Season bringing misty & foggy weather
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.
This photo is taken at Dhalkut beach during Khareef season. Dhalkut is located on the far west of Dhofar and has enjoyed its own merchant sea trade with the ports of the Gulf and Yemen, exporting leather, honey, figs and frankincense. This wilayat has many springs which burst forth from the wadis of the Jebel al Qamar (Mountains of the Moon). The caves and grottos in the area have provided shepherds and flocks with safe refuge from adverse weather conditions for centuries. Dalkut is 160 Kilometres west of Salalah. To reach it, you drive to al Mughsail, then up the steep winding Aqeeshan road to the Niyabat of Shahb As'eeb in the Wilayat of Rakhyut and from there to Wadi Seeq and Dalkut. The seas off Dalkut's rocky shore are full of fish and crustaceans.

The night of the Christmas Eve was icy with fog. On Christmas morning, the sun rose. The forest decorated itself with twinkling lights, contrasts between the white frost and the black shadows, and holding back the sun's rays it captured banks of mist in its branches till noon.
Probably my last (and best) photograph of a Northern Pike. I leave for field work and by the time I get back, the area will be too overgrown with aquatic vegetation. Regardless, it was a good year....
'Petit arc rond et Boutique' finds the perfect light. I stumbled upon this scene while walking through Orta San Giulio in Piedmont. The stones literally breathe Renaissance. A small boutique shows elegance and elevates the scene into an ensemble.

We shot this photo yesterday. The weather was sunny and a bit windy. 10 minutes after starting the photoshoot weather changed and huge black clouds started gathering above us. Suddenly rain started and hail followed. We were deep in the forest and getting out was very hard and adventurous. I even got stuck in the mud with my car and hardly got out. When we finally made it we were greeted by a beautiful rainbow. I think these girls together have some special power 🔮
You can see all the 20-minute work photos on my website. I wish I had more time to shoot the beautiful moments we had yesterday...
Yesterday I was in Emmerich am Rhein in Germany and I was trying to capture a beautiful sunset. This couple came down the road only to watch the sunset, I waited for the right moment and captured this moment.

Isfahan or Esfahan (Persian: اصفهان Esfahān, Old Persian: Aspadāna, Middle Persian: Spahān), historically also rendered in English as Ispahan or Hispahan, is located about 340 km south of Tehran and is the capital of Isfahan Province and Iran's third largest city (after Tehran and Mashhad). It is famous for its Islamic architecture, with many beautiful boulevards, covered bridges, palaces, mosques, and minarets.
The bridges over the river include some of the nicest architecture in Isfahan. One of those extraordinary bridges in Isfahan is the Sio-Seh Pol (thirty three Arches), also called Allahverdikhan Pol (Allahverdi Bridge), after the architect who built it in 1600 and who was also Abbas the Great’s Army Chief. The bridge is about 300 meters in length. A row of delicate arcades (about 100 of them) lightens its silhouette and lengthens its lines.

This is a shot of Jeddah north corniche. You can see a familiar little mosque in left top corner of the shot. This view is taken from Hilton hotel room during Friday evening at sunset time. Many of you might not know that weekend might mean something else here in the Middle East. It varies across countries, however Friday is a day of rest for everybody. Official weekend in Kuwait or UAE is Friday & Saturday, while in Saudi Arabia, official weekend is Thursday & Friday if people are lucky to get two days off. Friday therefore is a busiest day of the week when it comes to socializing and leisure activities, particularly on the beach front. You can see many cars part along the corniche and very busy roads. The day before or after at very same time you’d see only few cars here and there.

This photo was taken at incredibly beautiful and overwhelming place - Praia da Ursa (Ursa Beach). The rocks, the waves and the wind make for a mindblowing spectacle. It is considered the most beautiful beach of Portugal and one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. This picture was taken with the strongest sunset light just before the sun has disappeared for that day.
