I love to ramble/explore with camera in hand, both near and far; back roads are the best. Sharing beauty from around the world. All photos are mine, unless reposted. Motto: Take the day you are given and find the beauty in it! βœˆοΈπŸš—πŸ“Έ

'Malin Head'

Ireland most northern point, Malin Head, in County Donegal. Always stunning to stand on the edge of these cliffs, just taking in that beauty.

I was attracted by the mixture of leaves and foam spinning in the pool, so I put on the ND filter and took couple of long exposures. There was no wind at all and the atmosphere was completed by the thick fog 🀩

A waterfall thundering over a tall cliff, shot from the bottom and framed by trees and rocks. A cloudy, stormy sky above adds to a sense of drama.

Peak Pyrotechnics

November morning fireworks as the mid-morning sun finally rose above the inversion.

Re-edit from a photo I took in 2014 - published in Outdoor Photographer of the Year book 2015 before the copyright was acquired by VisitBritain - the official tourist board.

What a day!

Trees are silhouetted against an evening sky, after the sun has set. A wash of colors reflected in the water below and beyond the trees.

A sandy island beach at dusk. Palm trees on the left, the ocean on the right. Gentle waves lap the shore. The sky is a deepening blue with traces of pinks and yellows.

The light of the evening sky is reflected in the door and windows of a building. A tree trunk in front of the building is silhouetted in the evening dusk.

Looking down on the Smoky Mountains as the late afternoon sun sends shadows across the hills and softens the autumn hues of the foliage below.

A small wooden building lit by sunlight, along with a bit of grass and a few trees with golden foliage. A person is kneeling, hidden in the shrubbery. The surrounding forest is hidden in shadow. There is a strong contrast of light and dark.

The view from Reinebringen is breathtaking, not least because of the nearly 2000 steps to get up there!! But with moody skies and 3 billion year old rock forming these epic mountains, it’s totally worth it 🀘🀘
