I stayed over the night on the Hirschberg near Bad Hindelang, Bavaria, Germany. At midnight when I arrived but the sky was full of clouds. However, at the moment I woke up (at 3 a.m.) it was completely clear. It was cold so I couldn't sleep. Finally it was absolutely worth it to stay there :) I want to dedicate this to my friend Melli :) I hope you like it!

This photo was taken at the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in the Death Valley National Park - a great sandbox for all the tourists that come here. Nevertheless, at the the end of the day, all that's left of them are their footprints in the sand. So I enjoyed the wonderful colors of the sunset on my own :) By the way, all you can hear in a sand desert is your own breath and the pulse in your ear - very interesting effect...

Seeing the first light of a wonderful day reflected in a heart-shaped pond makes for a pretty good start. The picture was taken at Milford Sound, Fjordlands, New Zealand, on a chilly autumn morning. For a place that gets roughly 360 rainy days a year, I turned out to be pretty lucky!

Beams of sunset light shining through the coastal hills on the west coast of New Zealand. This shot was taken between Fox and Franz Josef glaciers by the side of the road after a long day of driving. I saw the light in the rear view mirror but couldn't see a good place to frame it. In the end I stopped just before turning the final corner into the mountains and got lucky!

Empty Valley (Pusta Dolinka) from The Valley of Five Polish Ponds. The mountains in the background are part of most dangerous trails in the Tatra Mountains - Eagle's Path. One of the last sunny days before the snow.

Morning light strikes Mount Sefton, part of the Mount Cook National Park in New Zealand. Mount Sefton is one of the lesser known peaks in the area, but still rises to over 10,000 feet.

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.
