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).

How has it been almost three months again? Time has flown by and there have been quite a few changes in my life. For one, I have finally moved in together with A and we live in a much nicer and bigger place now.
Sadly, this meant I also had to part with this view (which was the only good thing about my tiny and shabby apartment). This sunrise was taken a few weeks before our move, and I miss the old view dearly. Still, it's not that far away from the new place so we can pay our visit every now and then.

A trip to the desert offers a real adventure into the magnificent landscape of the unique sands of Arabia. This safari tour takes you right into the heart of the desert where you experience the excitement of a roller-coaster tour down the astonishing high dunes. A stop for a breathtaking view of the endless desert gives an opportunity to watch the sun-set over this tranquil scenery.
Great thing about desert around Dubai is that the sand is orange with very thin layer of red sand on the top which adds additional richness to the overall color. Desert safari in Dubai is very touristic thing to do, but it is big fun too. They generally stop at some lovely place just before sunset and give you a chance to take some photos with a wonderful light too.

Kuwait City (Arabic: مدينة الكويت, transliteration: Madīnat al-Kūwait), is the capital and largest city of Kuwait. It has an estimated population of 63,600 (2006 estimate) within city limits and 2.38 million in the metropolitan area. Located at the heart of the country on the shore of the Persian Gulf, and containing Kuwait's parliament (Majlis Al-Umma), most governmental offices, the headquarters of most Kuwaiti corporations and banks, it is the indisputable political, cultural and economic center of the emirate.
The Liberation Tower (highest building on the right) is the highest structure in Kuwait. Construction of the tower commenced before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990. It was meant to be called The Kuwait Telecommunications Tower. When the invasion took place, construction, which was almost half-way complete, was put on hold. However, the structure received no damage, and construction resumed after Saddam Hussein's forces were expelled on February 27, 1991. Upon completion in 1993, the tower was renamed the Liberation Tower, symbolizing Kuwait's liberation from Iraq.
The tower contains a revolving restaurant and observation platform (in the first disc-shaped pod; now closed to the public for security reasons), and also houses radio and other telecommunications offices. The structure stands at 372 meters high (1,220 ft) at its pinnacle. The roof of the second pod on the tower is 308 meters high (1,010 ft). It is similar to the CN Tower because both contain a revolving restaurant, observation platform, telecommunications equipment and the same look.

Not the best weather during one of my last stays in Switzerland, but i had a great hotel during my stay at Lake Thun. The view from my hotel balcony was like this, only problem was the weather. But one early morning the sun tried to come out, but after this it rained for the rest of the day.
Enjoy...

Althought some people might be tired of sunrises/sunsets, I believe that it is the most dramatic part of the day, therefore I've decided to post another photo that was taken during this time of a day. Colors of this sunset remind me more of painting than photo. I've chosen this composition where the silhouette is very small and give lot of space to the sky/nature, which is exactly how it is in Mongolia - vast areas of nature and pure nothing.
This photo with amazing sky was taken in Ongiin Khiid monastery. The ruined monastery lies in two halfs on the banks of the Ongiin river. It was destroyed by the communist purges of the thirties and is being restored by a number of monks. It is an amazing site and stretches across the valley in the mountainous area around the river. There is not much left from the original place therefore I was happy to capture that beautiful sunset with the silhouette of pavilion.

Lunch on the terrace of the restaurant of the Royal Olympic hotel in Athens, where you feel you're dining on top of a cloud made of green and overlooking this majestic view of the athens national gardens.
Pure awesomeness

Svartifoss (Black Fall) is the name of this waterfall in Skaftafell National Park in Iceland, and is one of the most popular sights in the park. It is surrounded by dark lava columns, which give rise to its name. The hexagonal columns were formed inside a lava flow which cooled extremely slowly, giving rise to crystallization.
The base of this waterfall is noteworthy for its sharp rocks. New hexagonal column sections break off faster than the falling water wears down the edges.
It was a cloudy-cloudy day, so why not shoot on B&W, anyway it was the shape of the rocks and the moving water what interested to my eye. I thought a long exposition would work for the image, the bright water, the dark stones....
Miss my b&w film camera loaded with an ISO 400 film, with its grain, its contrast....

Svartifoss (Cascada Negra) es el nombre de esta cascada en Parque Nacional de Skaftafell (Islandia), y es una sus atracciones más populares. Está rodeada por columnas de lava oscura, que dan origen a su nombre. Las columnas, de forma hexagonal, se formaron dentro de una erupcion de lava que se enfrió muy lentamente, mediante cristalización.
La base de la cascada destaca por sus rocas afiladas, cuyas secciones hexagonales son erosionadas en los bordes constantemente por el agua que cae.
Era un dÃa nublado, muy nublado, ¿por qué no disparar en blanco y negro?. De todos modos lo único que me interesaba era el contraste de la forma de las rocas y el agua en movimiento. Una larga exposición me darÃa esta imagen, el agua clara, la piedras oscuras ....
En ese momento eché de menos mi cámara de pelÃcula cargada con una pelÃcula de ISO400, con sus matices, su contraste, su grano ....

A series of typical shapes of Lofoten.
Lofoten is an archipelago and a traditional district in the county of Nordland, Norway. Lofoten has distinctive scenery with dramatic mountains and peaks, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands. Its largest town, Leknes, is approximately 169 km (105 mi) inside the Arctic Circle and approximately 2,420 km (1,500 mi) away from the North Pole, making Lofoten one of the world's northernmost populated regions. Though lying within the Arctic Circle, the archipelago experiences one of the world's largest elevated temperature anomalies relative to its high latitude.
Lofoten (Old Norse: Lófót) was the original name of the island Vestvågøya. The first element is ló (i.e., "lynx") and the last element is derived from Norse fótr (i.e., "foot"), as the shape of the island must have been compared with that of a lynx's foot. (The old name of the neighbouring island Flakstadøya was Vargfót, "wolf's foot", from vargr "wolf".)
Lofotr was originally the name of the island of Vestvågøy only. Later it became the name of the chain of islands. The chain of islands with its pointed peaks looks like a lynx foot from the mainland. In Norwegian, it is always a singular. Another name one might come across, is "Lofotveggen" or the Lofoten wall. The archipelago looks like a closed wall when seen from elevated points around Bodø or when arriving from the sea, some 100 kilometres (62 miles) long, and 800–1,000 metres (2,600–3,300 feet) high.

This nice rock formation in the highlands of Teneriffe is called Roque Cinchado or Thumb of God. It is part of Roques de GarcÃa and has been formed by volcanic activities. As I have a big love for bizarre stone formations, I had a lot of fun taking photos of it. Here, I used it as a central subject when I realized that the moon was right above it.

Malaysia - Kedah - Pulau Langkawi - Langkawi Island - Tropical Berjaya Beach - Relaxing location amidst tropical greenery & sun-soaked shores of Andaman Sea - Dawn - Sunrise time
Off the western coast of Peninsular Malaysia, near the border with Thailand, lies a group of over 100 stunning tropical islands the largest of which is Pulau Langkawi. These islands are part of the mainland Malaysian state of Kedah. Over the last 20 years, under the tutelage of the Malaysian Prime Minister, Dato' Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohammad, himself born in Kedah, a tourist industry has developed which has given Langkawi an international reputation as an unspoiled holiday destination. This reputation appears well deserved - Langkawi is clean, green and friendly. Tourist development, on the whole, appears to be as low impact as possible and the islands still possess uncrowded beaches, thickly forested hillsides and unpolluted mangroves where monkeys, otters, kingfishers and hornbills abound.

What an absolute amazing trip this was. Alltough it didn’t seem to get good light at all for the whole afternoon, I stayed there and hoped for the last bit of sun that day to brake the clouds. Just minutes before sunset finally the light broke through and created this absolutly stunning scenery. So happy that i was patiently enouth to get this photograph.
