A house surrounded by water in St. Augustine, Florida October 8, 2016 in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. The hurricane killed hundreds in the Caribbean and at least four people in Florida, and left swaths of damage and hundreds of thousands of power outages along parts of the US southeast from Florida to the Carolinas. Matthew left more than 1 million people without power in Florida alone. Water from the storm rushed through streets, making roadways look more like rivers. Photo by Marc Serota/Greenpeace

I "Fjord Mystique: A Journey Through Nordic Majesty," we invite you to embark on a visual odyssey like no other. This extraordinary series of photographs transports you to the heart of a Scandinavian fjord, where the grandeur of nature takes center stage.
With each image, you will find yourself sailing through these deep, dark waters, surrounded by towering, barren mountains that rise dramatically from the fjord's edge. The unique perspective of each photograph immerses you in the rugged beauty of the landscape, and as you explore the series, you'll notice the absence of any man-made elements, offering an unspoiled view of the untamed wilderness.
The photographs capture the drama of the moment, with heavy clouds in the sky casting a sense of foreboding. Yet, the sun's rays pierce through the clouds, bathing the fjord and mountains in an otherworldly light. Each image is a testament to the majesty and isolation of this pristine environment.
Join us on this journey through Nordic mystique, where the pure essence of nature is laid bare, and the interplay of light and shadow creates a visual masterpiece worthy of the most prestigious publications.
Get on board for the trip of your lifetime! Sail through some of the prettiest waters surrounded by over 172 islands. Close to Seattle and Victoria, B.C. A ferrytale adventure awaits!
The Penemu island group in the Fam Islands consists of a large lagoon with numerous limestone spires and mushroom-shaped islands jutting out and creating smaller lagoons within. If you can picture paradise, the blue and turquoise coral-filled waters surrounded by gray limestone spires covered with palm-trees and jungle under blue skies and fluffy white clouds would probably fit the bill perfectly.
I've finally processed the rest of the Devil's Lake monochrome images I photographed back in April. I've uploaded several here, and the rest are in this set.
Formed by the glaciers 15,000 years ago, when they filled in both ends of a great river valley, Devil's Lake has always occupied a unique place in the Baraboo hills, its still waters surrounded by brooding 500-foot quartzite bluffs. The Indians called it Spirit Lake, and that seems a more accurate description than the modern name. Devil's Lake is one of Wisconsin's busiest state parks, and it tends to get overrun in the midsummer tourist season. But catch it in the off-season, and its brooding presence comes through. It does seem to be presided over by spirits. Black and white seems the best way to capture its haunted mystery photographically on days like this.

With stunning landscapes, lush, green forests, beautiful beaches and snow-capped mountains, this land of ours provides a magnificent array of natural wonders. We are proud to showcase seven of our most breathtaking natural wonders in the 2007 Scenic Definitives stamp issue.
New Zealand is known as one of the most beautiful countries in the world, and each year thousands of visitors make their journey here to enjoy our unique natural environment. As Kiwis we’re lucky to have such a wonderful environment at our doorstep – and the 2007 Scenic Definitives stamp issue allows you to showcase to the world some of our most special natural wonders.
Whakarewarewa, Rotorua - 5c
Set in a landscape of geothermal activity lies Whakarewarewa, a traditional M-aori village that has occupied the area for more than 200 years. Famed for its hot thermal springs and bubbling mud pools, Whakarewarewa boasts the largest geyser in New Zealand. Its name is an abbreviation of Whakarewarewatanga O Te Ope A Waihiao, which means ‘the uprising of the war party at Waihiao’, referring to a war party performing a war dance by the geysers before going into action.
Central Otago - 10c
Central Otago, the most inland region of New Zealand, is a place like no other. It is the driest, hottest and coldest place in the country and has a powerful landscape of contrasts – rugged terrain, tussock grasslands, fast rivers and mountains that go back millions of years. In the 19th century, Central Otago was the scene of a gold-rush – its old stone cottages and mining remains are still visible today. Nowadays, the region is renowned for its wineries, particularly its Pinor Noir.
Rainbow Falls - 20c
Rainbow Falls is one of Northland’s most spectacular sites. Based in the Kerikeri basin, this magnificent 27-metre waterfall is surrounded by native bush and birdlife, and can easily be accessed from the Kerikeri River track. Its M-aori name is Waianiwaniwa, which means ‘waters of the rainbow’, referring to the brilliant rainbow colours produced by the gushing waters that fall from above.
Lake Coleridge - 50c
Lake Coleridge is one of Canterbury’s most popular lakes, enticing visitors from near and far. Set in the eastern foothills of the Southern Alps, Lake Coleridge is a natural paradise – with glacial blue water, breathtaking scenery and abundant marine life. Located near the Raikaia River, Lake Coleridge is the site of New Zealand’s first hydroelectric power scheme, which was completed in 1914 and continues to run today.
Rangitoto Island - $1.00
Rangitoto Island, at 700 years old, is the most recent and largest of Auckland’s volcanoes. With a summit of 260 metres, Rangitoto Island is a prominent landmark that can be seen from many parts of Auckland and has often been reproduced by artists and photographers alike. With stunning views of the harbour and city, fantastic birdlife, a variety of walks and an archaeological wonderland, Rangitoto Island is a popular spot for daytrips, and can be reached by taking an easy ferry ride from Auckland city.
Able Tasman, National Park - $2.50
With golden sand and turquoise waters surrounded by lush, green forests, Abel Tasman National Park is one of the most beautiful – and popular – national parks in New Zealand. All year round, Kiwis and international visitors flock to this piece of paradise to enjoy its natural wonders, be it on land, on water or in the sky. Named after the first European discoverer of New Zealand, Abel Tasman National Park enjoys some of the best weather in the country, with a steady climate and near-perfect water conditions.
Tongaporutu, Taranaki - $3.00
The Tongaporutu area, north of New Plymouth, is one of the country’s best-kept secrets. With a spectacular coastline consisting of ancient caves, sheer cliff faces and an iron-sand beach, Tongaporutu is a changing canvas that dates back to the 1300s when the waka, Tokomaru, came ashore. At high tide, the coast can be a treacherous place as waves crash into the cliffs; at low tide, historic rock carvings become visible in the ancient caves.

High waters surround homes and businesses in the small town of Bucksport, S.C. as rivers continue to rise and flooded areas expand as a result of Hurricane Florence, Sept. 23, 2018. Local citizens are cautioned to “turn around, don’t drown” if they come across cones, barriers or flooded roads when traveling in affected areas of S.C. Assets from many agencies and military organizations are partnered and postured for Search and Rescue operations as flooding is projected to continue in the Pee Dee region of the state.

This is an older photo I took way, way back in 2009. Once a year we spend some time in Lubec, Maine, which is very near to Campobello Island. A small, beautiful island full of photographic potential, Campobello Island is home to a couple of lighthouses and Franklin D. Roosevelt's summer cottage where he caught polio and lost the use of his legs. The summer cottage and grounds are now part of a beautiful park. The summer cottage is open to tour and everything inside is original. Getting back to the photo, on the far end of the island which I guess could be considered the northeast end of the island, sits a beautiful lighthouse. The Head Harbour Lighthouse is actually cutoff from the island during high tide when waters surround the lighthouse making it its own island. When the waters retreat during low tide, one can walk across the floor of the Bay of Fundy to access the lighthouse. The Bay of Fundy is home to some very high tides and in this part of the bay the tidal changes range in the neighborhood of 20+ feet. If you make it over to the lighthouse you can tour the lighthouse and buildings and walk to the top for a small fee. Workers and volunteers have been doing a lot of renovating of the lighthouse over the last couple of years in their attempt to fix it up and possibly rent it out. When we stay in Lubec, I am always looking for sunrise opportunities so what better way than to spend it at Head Harbour. As the sun rose on this particular day, the sky turned to a warm hue of orange, pink and yellow. Behind the lighthouse is nothing but open water covered with a very thick layer of ocean fog. Soon after shooting this shot the fog rolled into me and everything became obscure. Just then I heard LOUD splashing and spraying that was close to the shore. I could not see what the sound was at first, but soon I saw a pod of Finback Whales surfacing and diving. It was my first experience with any kind of whales and I was completely in awe. I drove back to the Peacock House where we always stay in Lubec, and after breakfast I drove my wife out to the lighthouse. The whales were still there... and it was so awesome to see. Anyway, thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy the image. By the way, I stood on an overlook near the parking area to take this shot. I used my Canon 5d Mark II tripod mounted with my 400/5.6 lens (which I no longer have, but what a great lens). Nothing fancy with the exposure, just a combination of using an appropriate shutter speed for a proper exposure with an aperture of f/8.
This Great Blue Heron was hunting in the marsh at the duck pond at Colony Farm Park in Coquitlam BC. From hunting in the waters surrounded by disintegrating bulrushes, it's beak has become coated in bulrush fluff.
We started our trail to circle the Fortaleza Peninsula (a trail also known as "Bananas Cove Trail") from East Caçandoca Beach and after few minutes we reached Raposa Cove ("Fox Cove") from a large rock spit, an area of beautiful clear waters surrounded by lush Atlantic Forest, a picture perfect sample of Brazil's Green Coast region.
After 8 or 9 rough days at sea with no sightings of blue whales, we finally woke up to still waters, surrounded by blue whales. There were at least 16 of them, including babies. This was taken at the end of one of the best days of my life.
At the extreme northern end of the Kaghan Valley about 50 km from Naran on the Naran-Babusar road is Lalusar Lake, surrounded by clusters of wild flowers in a carpet of blue and gold. This is the source of the Kunhar River, which winds through the length of the valley. Lake Lalusar offers a splendid opportunity for fishing in dark blue waters surrounded by high mountains. The serene beauty and peace, which permeates the Kaghan Valley, makes this an ideal spot for relaxation and reflection.

Formed by the glaciers 15,000 years ago, when they filled in both ends of a great river valley, Devil's Lake has always occupied a unique place in the Baraboo hills, its still waters surrounded by brooding 500-foot quartzite bluffs. The Indians called it Spirit Lake, and that seems a more accurate description than the modern name. It's situated in Wisconsi's busiest State Park, and it tends to get overrun in the midsummer tourist season. But catch it in the off-season, and its brooding presence comes through. It does seem to be presided over by spirits. Black and white seems the best way to capture its haunted mystery photographically on days like this.

I "Fjord Mystique: A Journey Through Nordic Majesty," we invite you to embark on a visual odyssey like no other. This extraordinary series of photographs transports you to the heart of a Scandinavian fjord, where the grandeur of nature takes center stage.
With each image, you will find yourself sailing through these deep, dark waters, surrounded by towering, barren mountains that rise dramatically from the fjord's edge. The unique perspective of each photograph immerses you in the rugged beauty of the landscape, and as you explore the series, you'll notice the absence of any man-made elements, offering an unspoiled view of the untamed wilderness.
The photographs capture the drama of the moment, with heavy clouds in the sky casting a sense of foreboding. Yet, the sun's rays pierce through the clouds, bathing the fjord and mountains in an otherworldly light. Each image is a testament to the majesty and isolation of this pristine environment.
Join us on this journey through Nordic mystique, where the pure essence of nature is laid bare, and the interplay of light and shadow creates a visual masterpiece worthy of the most prestigious publications.

Impalila Island is in Namibian waters, surrounded by the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers . It’s about 12km long and 6km wide with a mixture of Tswana people (from Botswana) and Subia (from Namibia) living in numerous villages scattered around the island. Cultural activities include village visits and an ox-cart trip with old soldier Charles Matengu who tells stories about his dangerous antics here during the wars of independence, are fascinating. Impalila Island is only accessible by boat, unless staying at one of only two safari lodges on the island.
