Shiny stars and remote mountains,
A show to enjoy in silence
Despite the bite of the cold
Amazing Cordillera Huayhuash.

Not far from Lima,
where city lights usually blur the night sky.
But the Milky Way was incredible,
a clear sky,
and stars shining like never before.

Last light warms the high summits.
The remote Cordillera Huayhuash slowly sinks into the dark,
pushing us toward our tent and sleeping bags.
It’s already cold in the valley.

The day is gone.
A cold night settles.
The Moon shares its light,
before the Northern Lights take over.

Merry Christmas !!!

Boats rest.
Mountains wait.
The dark night is long,
before the sky performs.

Winter holds everything still.
The river slows.
Except the sky.

Autumn means shorter days.
That last light in the mountains always comes at a low angle, changing the landscape dramatically.

It’s raining. The sun casts a final beam, fighting its battle before the day ends, while the valley has already surrendered to the dark.

Morning light in the deep valley of Val de Bagnes. Late autumn whispers that snow is near…

Seasonal transition. Autumn is fully here: golden larches glowing, thirsty glaciers waiting. Time holds its breath. Do I want to keep these colors, or am I ready for a thick white cap?

After five days hiking in the mountains, I ventured onto the wild beaches of Olympic National Park.
An approaching storm added a dramatic touch to an already rugged landscape.
Driftwood, pebbles, starfish…

2010 - Sol Duc Waterfall - Olympic National Park.
After all the autumn rain, the falls were roaring.
Hard not to stop, set the tripod, and play with shutter speed and composition.

2010 - Olympic National Park
Black and white edit of my previous post.
I remember this place being truly unique, slightly rainy, cold, the parking lot empty, and the Hoh River rushing nearby.

Do you prefer the colour or the Black and White edit ? I’d love to hear! 🤗

2010 #OlympicNP
Every scenery is different, tinged with autumn lights and colors. When the path climbs, it crosses an alpine forest, leaving the rainforest down in the valley. Higher up some lakes are appearing, perfect links between the woods and the alpine meadows.

"#OlympicNP ...it is absolutely necessary to hike along those large rivers, to touch the mosses and the lichens in the temperate rainforest, to climb above timberline on the alpine meadow in order to catch a glimpse at the Olympic glaciers… without going too fast..."

2010 - There are those trips that make you forget everything about time and space. You begin to live at a different pace — closer to what’s truly fundamental: eating, sleeping, staying warm… and in my case, walking. Link in comment for the story.

I can’t get enough of that view, especially when heavy dark clouds sweep over Mont Blanc at day’s end, revealing the jagged Aiguilles de Chamonix. What a mood!

Moody light over Aiguille Verte. This giant summit of the Mont Blanc massif was shy that day, but it offered a perfect chance to showcase the iconic Grand Dru and the dramatic glaciers.

Moody light over Val d'arpmtte . The Aiguilles Dorées and Aiguille du Tour were sometimes showing , most of the time remaining shy and hidden. I just love those conditions.

Hiking in fall feels like wandering through enchanted woods. Every step stirs the giant leaf mattress beneath, and suddenly — you're a child again.

Autumn’s soft light is perfect for revealing those incredible colours. It brings the warmth of the season — and a touch of magic to the forest.

Autumn and its show.
Colors everywhere in Jura, each tree choosing its own palette, especially when the light softens and lets the forest speak.

Above the clouds during an inversion — warmer, sunnier, and the landscape kept changing. Clouds played with the trees, colours shifted with the light, and I could have stayed for hours watching the show.
