Fonds d’écran Mountains (225)

On a week's holiday to north Cornwall, my wife and I spent plenty of time photographing the scenery, including a number of bays. Holywell Bay, just south of Newquay was perhaps my favourite, and we were lucky enough to see some great sunsets.

An evening twilight shot from the Mont Agel, near the Nice Air Base Station located at the top of the mountain (1,148m). Weather conditions were superb, clear, clean air, almost no humidity or wind. View is up to 80km to the terrains of Saint Tropez. 3-exposure HDR with a 14mm wide angle lens.

Morning light hits the peaks rising from Milford Sound, a fjord (yes, it really is a fjord not a sound!) in south west New Zealand. I got hugely lucky with the weather for this shot, as Milford Sound is the wettest inhabited place in New Zealand and one of the wettest in the world. New Zealand is a fairly long way south, which means in winter you can wake up at 7am and still have time to get out and catch the sunset! I drove down in the morning and caught this scene. Perfect weather, a lovely crisp -3 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, brilliantly calm water.

Taken today, a beautiful meadow where grizzlies can be seen quite often. Fortunately, we haven't. We reached this heavenly spot by hiking from the Highwood Pass parking lot, a moderate climb which was in a spot already covered with snow!

Taken early morning on the road of the Sossusvlei Park, Namibia. The contrast between the sky and the dunes is spectacular, adding to this, a little tree standing up at the edge of the desert.
