Canyon Sunset

As a photographer, this is the type of light that I absolutely live for: shooting towards the sun low on the horizon, with layer upon layer of glorious hazy, golden light. I visited most of the Desert Drive viewpoints on this afternoon, but it was […]

South Kaibab Trail

The start of one of the most amazing and exhilarating experiences of my life! After having had to postpone my trip once because of flight cancellations, I was finally heading down into the Grand Canyon to spend two nights camping below the rim (both nights […]

Himeji Castle

One of the few remaining original feudal-era castles in Japan, the “White Egret Castle” is a spectacular sight from any angle. Here, I’ve tried to get a slightly different view by framing the main keep above a closer roof line. Camera: Canon EOS 7DLens: Canon […]

Gateway

The ornate karamon gate leading to the main palace complex at Kyoto’s Nijo Castle. The palaces and gardens are wonderful places to explore, although we got the “hurry up and get out, we’re closing soon!” treatment – announcements and music over loudspeakers and attendants following […]

Out of the Mist

A sombre, grey and foggy December morning in Venice. A vaporetto emerges from the dense mist, heading towards the Ferrovia ferry stop. I’m on another vaporetto – route no. 1 – heading towards St. Mark’s Square along the entire length of the Grand Canal, trying […]

Via dell’Abbondanza, Pompeii

“The most amazing thing about Pompeii is that it is an entire town, filled with all the things you’d expect to see in a big city – government buildings, places of worship, public squares, busy roads, shops, baths, stadiums and theatres, houses both big and […]
