It was getting late in Greenland's Scoresby Sound. Our captain decided to spend the night, anchorless! Floating in the middle of a calm sea, surrounded by uncountably many icebergs, framed by giant mountains. A day we'll never forget!

Winter, a time of opposites, when a cold, frozen, foreboding world and warm, glowing light, live in perfect harmony.

Winter's end. A veil of fog covers these frozen lands. The horizon glows red, the warm light of dawn grows. In the distance, an island surrounded by frozen waters. Beautiful ice crystals have formed. The sun rises, beauty surrounds you. It may seem flat and featureless, but the frozen surface of Canada's lake Ontario is full of photography opportunities. As I was photographing sunrise, I happened to turn around to see beautiful light developing, complimented by fragments of ice sticking out of the vast, snow covered surface.

A glorious morning on the tranquil shores of the St. Lawrence river in Canada's beautiful Thousand Islands region, as the sun broke through clearing clouds and painted it all in wonderful golden light!

Light always prevails! A short lived moment of breathtaking beauty as a granite outcrop in Patagonia's Torres del Paine catches fire, in the endless struggle between light and darkness.

One of the world's most majestic granite spires, Mount Cerro Torre in Patagonia, Argentina, is clothed in intense alpen glow, its reflection broken by thin ice which formed during the cold, windless night.

I wander on an endless expanse of snow and ice. It is the end of winter, change is coming. Cracks appear, ice breaks. Water, cyan colored, seeps through. The clouds mirror. It is a pastel dream. Lake Ontario, Canada.

Patagonia's Cerro Paine Grande, towering 2.6 km above, emerges as furious winds blow off its mantle of clouds, in a spectacle of the eternal fight between light & darkness. Torres del Paine, Chile. There, where opposites meet, where light plays in the dark, that's where you find beauty. On a wild afternoon in Patagonia, blistering winds drove the clouds off not only one mountain, but an entire range of them! Although the wind was screaming in my ears it was a scene of serenity & breathtaking majesty as the Cuernos del Paine lit up in magnificent light. Light I had not witnessed in 5 years of exploring Patagonia. In East Greenland's magical Scoresby Sund, the soft light of the arctic sun breaks through clearing clouds, unveiling a distant world of majestic mountains, towering as much as 2 km above 30 m tall icebergs!

Deep in the arid lands of northern Namibia, a miraculous artery of water traces the western and central border to Angola, and graces one of our planet's most beautiful waterfalls in a desert environment.

A moment of utter beauty, as the mountains of the Canadian Rockies catch the first light of day and emerge out of dense fog on a crisp, fresh autumn morning.

It took me more than 4 years to capture a scene I could only dream of. A magnificent Condor soars above the peaks of Argentina's Mount Fitz Roy, as they are spot lit in beautiful morning light.

During our flight over the Peel Watershed in Canada's Yukon, the sun struggled to break through ominous clouds and rain showers, but when it did, the short lived splendor was breathtaking!

When the feared east winds move in, Namibia's coastal dunes are transformed into sublime paintings of blowing sand, windswept planes & barely visible horizons. Don't avoid the storm, go right in, it will reward you greatly.

As night gives way to day, there where the light moves in and the shadows recede, that is where you will bear witness to brief moments of intense beauty. First light in the grasslands of Namibia.

There is an infinite beauty to moving water, waiting to be discovered! The purple of a winter evening's twilight is softly reflected in the fast moving waters of the St. Lawrence River, Montreal, Canada. The sublime textures and shapes of Namibia's dunes spring to life with the first light of day. There is beauty in simplicity! A harmonious interplay of lines, shape, textures and tones, as the first light of day touches the ridge lines of a coastal dune. It was mesmerizing to see how the scene transformed as the light crept into the shadows. For a short lived moment, the soft light of the morning sun draws beautiful, dreamy bands of satin across the tips of these otherwise inconspicuous dunes in Namibia's mesmerizing Sossusvlei region.

It's when the clouds clear that the true beauty of mountains unveils itself. Pine trees dressed in fall's first snow, are dwarfed by the towering cliff faces of Castle Mountain, in the beautiful Canadian Rockies.

A few reasons why I love the Canadian Rockies!

#photography #bluesky #nature #naturephotography #landscape #mountains #landscapephotography #canada #sunrise #sunset #travel
t took my breath away when I stepped on a ledge and saw this mind blowing landscape below. The magnificent mountains of Yoho National Park in the Canadian Rockies cradle turquoise lakes illuminated in intense light as the setting sun colors low lying clouds. Wonder, astonishment, disbelief. To me there is nothing more beautiful than the natural world, and it as times such as these when I know that this is where I belong. Mount Assiniboine and Sunburst Peak, Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada. On an early summer morning, beautiful puffy clouds reflect in the calm waters of Vermillion Lakes in the Canadian Rockies, while the distant mountains catch the first rays of the sun. Beautiful morning light illuminates the Canadian Rockies' towering Mount Assiniboine as, ever so briefly, underlying rocks and pebbles show through before the winds pick up again.

Fierce winds drive off snow and ice from the peaks of Paine Grande in Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park. There is a whole world of drama and grandeur to be found far above in the peaks of mountains, and especially so for Patagonia! A moment of sublime beauty as heavy clouds slowly lift, unveiling the majesty that lurks behind. Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile. The last light of day touches churning clouds rushing over the jagged cliff faces of South Africa's Table Mountain. Far away and far above, you will find castles in the sky. Castles so beautiful, which appear ever so briefly before they vanish, never to be seen again. Don't blink, you might miss one! Canadian Rockies.

In late winter, along the frozen shoreline of Canada's Lake Ontario, the setting sun shines through the claws of a melting icy jewel, and sets it alight with a glittering, golden glow.

After a breathtaking morning of clearing clouds unveiling the towering mountains of Greenland's Scoresby Sound, it was all rounded off by soft light falling on giant icebergs in the calm waters of this magical land.

Beautiful dappled light dances along gently undulating dunes, creating entirely new, endlessly varying aesthetic worlds, lasting ever so briefly, vanishing, perhaps never to manifest again. Coastal dunes, Namibia.

Wilderness untamed & pure, touching every core of your being, unbridled power, furious gale force winds, churning clouds, horizontal sleet, bitter cold. I wouldn't have it any other way! Yukon, Canada.

After several attempts over a period of 6 years, patience finally paid off. For an all too brief moment, Argentinian Patagonia's vast, breathtaking Perito Moreno glacier is dressed in the most beautiful light!

Every morning & afternoon, Namibia's mesmerizing Deadvlei comes alive in a symphony of light, shapes & shadows. Two beautiful trees seem to reach out, to hold on to each other, as the shadows creep in & the last line of light recedes.

The colors and quality of light in Greenland are unlike any I have seen. Softly undulating waters reflect the sky above, while two icebergs contrast against the cyan/green horizon.
