After the hottest and driest summer ever in Europe, with countless forest fires, crop failures and withered landscapes, I do think that we landscape photographers should take a more critical look at our own impact and do more to actually keep the balance positive more
Past masters – Part Four
What motivated a group of landscape painters to relocate to the tiny village of Barbizon in France and relentlessly paint there for most of their lives? Why did they fight to institute an “artistic reserve”, the first protected natural area in the world? more
End frame: After the Storm, Climbers on the Doldenhorn, Switzerland by Henry Bradford Washburn Jr.
"After the Storm" has that graphic quality in spades. But this image has extra “life" to it because of the climbers on the ridge. They give it scale and drama, and this is what really thrilled me when I first saw it. more

Condemned, because he did not create himself, yet is nevertheless at liberty, and from the moment that he is thrown into the world he is responsible for everything else he does.~ Jean-Paul Sartre One might expect that the philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard (a devout Christian) and the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche (famous for asserting that God is dead) more

Looking at the map and after doing some research, the only place that fit my requirements was Peneda-Gerês National Park, particularly Gerês mountain range. more
Still Waters
Loch Ness is one of the largest lochs in Scotland, and mostly, it is windy and often grey. But when conditions are good, there is no better place. Early mornings in the winter are generally when I find these incredible pockets of peace. more
Ski-ing the John Muir Trail
During the winter of 1979, my friend Jim Keating and I skied the John Muir Trail from Mount Whitney to Yosemite Valley. The 211-mile-long trip took us 33 days. more
