Monuments at the National Mall

I know this may be a redundant post but just wanted to throw in my photos of the National Mall. I don't think you can ever get enough of the National Mall and all of its glories. Tripods are allowed in all areas of the National Mall except for the...

War Memorials

I love coming down to the war memorials late at night because you can really feel the gravitas. Tripod is a must, especially if you're doing any sort of night photography. Please be respectful when setting up to take a shot. I've seen too many photographers exhibit an unbelievable level...

Stourhead

There is a fine eighteenth-century house here, but the fame of Stourhead does not rest on it at all but on the landscape made by succeeding generations of the house's owners. No man-made landscape in England is more beautiful; indeed, it is a place of European not solely English importance....

Stowe

The house at Stowe has been a school since the 1920s. The surrounding grounds, the first commission of the eighteenth-century's best-known landscaper, 'Capability' Brown, have been in the hands of the National Trust since 1990. With their lakes and follies, the gardens have plenty of calculatedly surprising views. Catherine the...

Upper Diabaig

The sun is setting behind the Isle of Skye (the hills in the distance). The loch in the foreground (Diabaigas Airde), was partly covered in ice, muting the reflected colours a little. (more…)

Mullaghmore Head

Ireland has many tourist attractions along the Atlantic coastline known as cliffs, the ones of Moher the most notorious to be named. Since I'm based in county Leitrim I can rather access the northwest ocean shore areas of county Sligo, Mayo or Donegal. The Mullaghmore head certainly belongs to one...

Lofoten Islands

The Lofoten Islands are a true hidden gem in northern Norway. The striking, angular mountains jut out of the Atlantic Ocean, rising to heights of over 1000m. The summit of Hermannsdalstinden (1029m) provides potentially the best vantage point in the entire Islands, with 360 degree views of ocean and mountains....

Quetrupillan Volcano

Quetrupillan Volcano (2360m) is situated within Villarrica National park, which also contains the larger but more challenging to climb, Villarrica Volcano. I was travelling through the region with friends by bike, and with just a 6km hike up to the summit, the decision to climb it was a no-brainer. The...

Horse Shoe Bend, Million Dollar Highway

Million dollar highway considered one of the dangerous and narrow scenic bypass you could take in San Juan Mountains area. As I drove this area in the afternoon scouting for locations I found this area too interesting to not miss for sunset. I wanted to show how the road turns...

Istanbul

Sunset just outside of the old town in Istanbul with an old train station to the left and multiple mosques visible in the background as the sun sets. Scenic and peaceful in what can be a hectic city.
