This place is a medieval city, and you can go there anytime you want. I have enjoyed the November month for the fall colors, however other seasons will bring other opportunities. You can bring a tripod if you want, but I would mainly bring a wide-angle lens. (more…)

Houtribsluizen
The Dutch and the sea, an never ending struggle. One place where this becomes visible is at the Houtribsluizen which happen to be an interesting photo location. One can argue whether or not constructions made of concrete and steel are beautiful or not. I guess it’s taste. On the other...
National Mall
The National Mall area remains very active from dusk to after dark, with many visitors enjoying the views of the memorials and surroundings well into the night. It is a great time for photography as well with the warmer colours and low angle of the setting sun, backlighting opportunities, and...

Chobe National Park
To describe Chobe in a short paragraph is akin to draining the Zambezi River with a straw. This park, and in particular the opportunities for game viewing near the river (or on the river) are among the best anywhere in the world. Not only do you have massive herds of...
Point Lobos State Reserve
Cypress tree trail is the most popular. Free tours with volunteers are available during the day. Also famous spot especially for photographers is China cove where wild life rests. Zoom lens will be useful to spot whales and wild life. There are some volunteers with large scopes that will spot...
