Another stunning sunset in Sri Lanka, 2022.

Sunset falls over a lush green jungle in Sri Lanka. The sun is on the left side of the frame, and a storm is approaching from the right side of the frame. There is a red and white cell tower in the center of the image.

One of the colorful villages dotting the foothills of the Karakoram.

A colorful, vertically built village sits at the bottom of the frame at the foot of a giant mountain in the background. One side of the image is coveted in late afternoon lighting and the other half is covered in shade. A few trails are visible in the distance.

This river bend winds its way through one of the many remote valleys straddling the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, and this wilderness is full of some truly raw, epic beauty.

#naturephotography #landscape #photography #nature #mountains #beautiful #nature #photo
A river bends through a value at the bottom of the frame and winds its way into the distance between two steep mountainsides. The terrain is desert, and the lighting is late afternoon. One half of the image is draped in shadow and the other half is covered in golden sunlight.

The Fairy Meadows.

This is a place where you don’t really get why it has the name it has until you see it. Walking around these hills feels like wandering through a fable.

#pakistan #photography #travel #mountains #winter #fall #landscape #naturephotography #autumn #asia
Snowcapped mountains tower over a deep green pine forest dotted with aspens during peak foliage. Streaks of yellow aspens run through the forest. The lighting is early evening and the shadows are beginning to descend across the mountainside.

One of those insane sights that you’ll only see in the Caucasus. High sulfur content has turned the stream into a devilish orange color, and that creates some awesome color combos with the surrounding mountains.

#Georgia #travel #photography #landscape #nature #Sony #art #mountains #river
An orange stream created by high sulfur content in the water winds its way across the image from bottom to top, surrounded by rocks and deep green mountainsides on both sides of the stream. A white glacier and snowy peaks loom in the distance, and the sky is a cloudless blue.

The Caucasus has got to be the greenest mountain range I’ve ever seen. It’s incredibly lush all throughout.

#Travel #landscape #photography #Georgia #mountains #nature #naturephotography
Lush; deep green mountains are covered in green forest and thick grass. It’s a wide landscape view with towering, snowy peaks looming in the background. The lighting is bright and sunny, and several clouds are scattered across the sky.

Hiking through Georgia’s Truso valley. It’s a beginner-level hike, but full of some otherworldly scenery.

#photography #naturephotography #georgia #travel #nature #landscape #mountain #river #europe #asia
A silver river winds its way through a lush, green canyon. A tall cliff towers over the river on the left side of the frame. The scenery is well-lit and deep green from the intense sun, but dark storm clouds loom in the distance.

A random mountain pass in Vietnam with absolutely towering karst peaks on either side.

Taken somewhere during a seven-hour day of riding through northern Vietnam’s epic wilderness.

#vietnam #asia #travel #naturephotography #landscape #photography #mountains
A massive tree-covered peak towers over a small dirt road on the left side of the frame. The foreground is composed of grassy hills, and the camera looks deep into a lush, green valley in the distance. The weather is sunny with a few clouds in the sky, and the greens are incredibly deep.

One of northern Vietnam’s most breathtaking spots, and that’s saying something.

#Photography #travel #Vietnam #waterfall #mountains #river #nature #sony #art #outdoor #landscapephotography #forest #green
A series of waterfalls cascades down into an emerald green lake. Jungle covers the top of the waterfalls in the background, and plants and boulders dot the foreground at the foot of the waterfalls. The color scheme of the photo is deeply green.

Hunza Valley during Blue Hour is astounding. Yet another one of Pakistan’s views with an absolutely huge scale.

#Pakistan #sunset #bluehour #mountains #photography #nature #Asia #Karakoram #landscape #travel #river #Hunza
Looking down on a river that runs through the Karakoram mountain range, with gigantic mountains flanking both sides of the river. In the center of the image, a tiny bridge is visible. The sun has just set, and the shaded areas are blue. The sky is a faded yellow as the sun has dipped beneath the mountains on the right.

The valleys running between Afghanistan and Pakistan are full of breathtaking sights, and this is one of my favorite. It’s really hard to communicate the massive sense of scale of these mountains.

#pakistan #asia #travel #nature #mountains #river #photography #landscape #roadtrip #art #contrast
A blue river is flanked on both sides by dramatic desert landscape, with steep slopes rising on both sides. There are a few clouds in the sky resulting in stark, high-contrast lighting between the sunny and cloudy portions of the photo.

If I could spend all my time in the mountains with butterflies and wildflowers, I would.

An orange and black butterfly sits atop a bright yellow flower on a sunny summer day in the Caucasus Mountains. The butterfly is in focus in the foreground and the background is composed of blurry forests, flowers, and mountains.

A humble exterior disguises the out-of-this-world interior of this small church in rural Germany.

Looking down the aisle of a small German church covered in paintings from wall-to-wall. The wall is covered in paintings depicting the life of Christ, and sunlight is pouring through the church windows.

Sighnaghi might be one of the most colorful places in Georgia, and it’s especially gorgeous in summer.

A batch of pink and red flowers sits in a pot hanging off a wrought-iron fence. In the background, a red-roofed village sits on a hillside, drenched in sunlight.

Hiking outside the idyllic Georgian village of Sighnaghi. One of Georgia’s best spots to spend a few days relaxing, drinking wine, and enjoying this stunning countryside.

A red-roofed village sits atop a hill covered in lush green forest. The sky is sunny, with clouds partially covering the high mountains in the distance on the far side of the valley.

One last look at cherry blossoms in a small Korean town, on a dreary Easter morning.

#blossoms #spring #photography #nature #Korea #asia #cherryblossoms #art #sony #forest
Pink cherry blossom petals are scattered on a wooden bench, with hundreds more covering the ground in the distance. The skies are grey and moody, and a few statues and trees are visible in the background.

It’s a rare treat to see cherry blossoms at their peak in such stark lighting.

It’s been awhile, so here’s some cherry blossoms.

One of my favorite groves I’ve ever spent time in.

#photography #spring #travel #cherryblossoms #naturephotography #sunset #art #sony #korea
A traditional Korean pavilion sits in front of a few massive, tall cherry blossom trees towering over a grove. The sky is clear and sunny, with the sunset just beginning to come on. The grass is a vibrant green and cherry blossom petals are gently falling to the ground.

It was cold as hell in Hallstatt and that house with the fire going looked unreasonably cozy.

#hallstatt #austria #winter #travel #snow #photography #landscapephotography #nature
On the left side of the frame, the wooden buildings of Hallstatt descend down the hill into the lake on a frigid winter morning. Snow falls over the lake, and mountains across the lake are covered in snow, with grey clouds hanging low over the landscape.

A phone screen isn’t the best option for viewing shots like this, but I still love it. Winter gives opportunities for high-contrast shots like this that other seasons simply can’t.

#photography #blackandwhite #b&w #winter #abstract #art #snow #architecture #nature #streetphotography
The shot is a closeup picture of snow freshly fallen on a park bench at night. Bright light from a street lamp illuminates the snowflakes and the focus of the shot is in the foreground, and blurs in the background.

Snowy mornings in the Austrian Alps.

A high, snow-covered mountain looms over a dark blue lake on a cold winter morning in the Austrian Alps. The trees on the mountain are devoid of leaves, and the sky is grey and cloudy.

This is still one of my favorite night shots I’ve gotten in a snowstorm. From a freezing evening spent inside a 1400 year old Baekje Dynasty-era fortress in Gongju, Korea.

#photography #snow #landscapephotography #nightphotography #storm #korea #asia #nature #art
A wood and stone pavilion sits on the edge of a stone wall in an ancient Korean fortress. The setting is at night, and snow is pouring down and covering the entire landscape. A bright light behind the pavilion lights up the entire scene, creating a dramatic contrast between the snow, the pavilion, and the dark sky.

This may look like a serene moment at a temple, but the wind was blowing so fast that the snow was coming down sideways! I had to shoot this at 1/2000 of a second to get each of those countless thousands of snowflakes falling in the shot.

#korea #travel #winter #bluesky #photography #snow
Countless thousands of tiny snowflakes falling into a courtyard of a Buddhist temple. A small wooden pavilion center-right of the frame, and the dark brown wood and bright green paintings of the doors stands in stark contrast to the snow-covered landscape of the surroundings.

Wandering down the streets of a charming Hannok village in rural Korea after a decent snowfall. This street was covered in ice and it was actually a huge challenge balancing to get this shot!

#photography #korea #winter #snow #travel #naturephotography #bluesky #nature #village #history
The focus of the camera lingers on a wall on the left side of the frame, with pointed rooftops lingering in the blurred background of a Hannok village in rural Korea. The entire scene is covered in snow and ice, and the skies are obscured by grey clouds.

Fresh snowfall covering a 1400-year old pavilion where the kings of Korea’s Baekje Dynasty would hold court. An awesome experience to have this place all to myself during a snowstorm.

#korea #travel #bluesky #photography #snow #mountains #history #nature #winter #storm
A wooden, green and brown pavilion stands in stark contrast to the snowfall on the ground and the icicles covering the trees in the surrounding forest. The sky is cloudy and snow continues to fall in front of the camera lens.
