A dramatic and ethereal mountain landscape on Madeira island, bathed in soft, diffused sunlight piercing through thick, moody clouds. Beams of sunlight cascade down from openings in the overcast sky, illuminating the lush green slopes and jagged peaks of the mountains below. The contrast between light and shadow creates a mystical atmosphere, as if nature itself is staging a moment of quiet grandeur. The clouds hang low and heavy, partially obscuring the summits and enhancing the sense of depth and scale. The terrain is rich with vegetation, hinting at a tropical or subtropical climate. The overall scene conveys a feeling of awe, solitude, and the sublime power of natural light interacting with a majestic landscape.

Morning friends ! 👋🏻

Memory from a gorgeous moment in the heart of Madeira Island, experiencing a vibrant light passing through the clouds 😍

Itself 😉

Thanks a lot ! There were tons of them all around !!

A dramatic coastal scene featuring a tall white lighthouse perched atop a rugged cliff, surrounded by low-lying fog and set against a deep blue sky. The lighthouse stands as a sentinel above the churning sea, with its cylindrical structure and red-topped lantern room catching the soft morning light. In the foreground, jagged, dark volcanic rocks form a natural frame around a calm tidal pool, which mirrors parts of the sky and the surrounding rocks in its still surface. The water in the pool is clear enough to reveal submerged rocks and seaweed below. A small cluster of delicate pink flowers emerges from a crack in the rocky foreground, adding a tender contrast to the otherwise harsh and weathered landscape. The image exudes a sense of isolation, strength, and natural beauty, capturing the stark contrast between the solid permanence of the lighthouse and the wild, ever-changing elements of the coast.

Morning frens 😊👋🏻

It’s just a lighthouse, but I’d lime your opinion 😊

Memory from a beautiful moment on the top of a canyon’s ridge in Iceland a few years ago.

Strong wind, gray sky, and from a minute to an other, magic happened 😍

What do you think of it ?

Wonderful color of the water 😍😮

A stunning turquoise lake between green mountains below a blue sky in the North Cascades of Washington.

I’ve enjoyed so much my time here 😍

Snow-capped, chiselled mountain peaks in dancing clouds in Torres del Paine National Park. There is a rolling green field in the foreground. It's been a full day of chasing the clouds away.

Spent my day blowing up a credit card. Heading to Chile in October for some fjord time, and more ice! Not sure we'll return to Torres del Paine NP. #scape

Does remind me some parts of my French Alps 😍

This photo was taken from the Wendelstein mountain in Bavaria, Germany, looking southward on a clear summer day. Imagine you’re standing on a high alpine ridge, looking out over a vast, sunlit landscape. The foreground is a lush green slope dotted with dark conifer trees and small rocky patches. A solitary alpine hut sits quietly near the bottom right of the image, blending harmoniously into the natural surroundings. The landscape rolls into a series of forested hills and ridges that gently descend into a broad valley, stretching far into the distance. Beyond the valley rise layers of distant mountain ranges, each ridge slightly hazier than the last, with the furthest peaks fading into a soft bluish mist. One puffy white cloud floats in the middle of the sky, catching the sunlight, while the rest of the sky is an uninterrupted, brilliant blue.

This week’s “Get outside” challenge? Accepted! Escaped to the Wendelstein in the Bavarian Alps 🇩🇪 - mountain air, sweeping views, and enough space to breathe deep and reset. So good for the mood!

Thanks a lot Markus !! 😊

Ahah she’s my girlfriend 😊 in many areas of Kyoto they do kimonos rental for the day 😊

A serene and atmospheric scene of a woman dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono walking along a narrow paved path through a towering bamboo forest. The woman is holding a bright red umbrella, which contrasts vividly against the lush greens and muted tones of the bamboo stalks. The bamboo rises vertically on both sides of the path, creating a natural tunnel that draws the viewer’s eye towards a glowing, sunlit opening in the distance. The pathway is flanked by simple wooden railings and tall, dry grasses. The composition evokes a sense of calm, solitude, and reverence for nature, with the red umbrella acting as a focal point in the tranquil setting.

Morning frens 😉👋🏻

Memories from some beautiful bamboo forests in Japan ! The tricky point : get rid of people walking on the path 🤣

Did I made it great ?

Thanks Bonnie !

Chasing tornado.. that would be such a dream to achieve one day 😍

I’m hopeful for a few more chases in 2025, but as things wind down here soon, I’ve already made peace with the success I’ve had. 20 tornadoes on the season with more photogenic opportunities than ever before.

Here’s to a few more columns of air for my camera to capture!

Sure ! 😊
