I recently returned from my third trip to Scotland, leading a group of enthusiastic photographers, and I have to say that the more I visit that beautiful country, the more I want to return. For this tour I had decided to revisit some of the locations I had touched during my previous foray, hoping to get better weather and better …
There’s no doubt the Dolomites are the most photogenic mountains in Europe, if not in the whole world. Feel free to disagree, but that won’t change my opinion ;). They become even more photogenic in winter, thanks to the contrast between the whiteness of the snow and the varying colors of the rocks, under different light conditions during the day. …
The National Parks System is truly America’s best idea, as the title of Ken Burns’ documentary film says and if there is one book that manages to capture all of their stunning beauty in fine detail, it must be QT Luong‘s Treasured Lands: A Photographic Odyssey Through America’s National Parks. I have been following the work of QT for some …
by Andrew S. Gibson When you look at the work of other landscape photographers it soon becomes clear that certain locations are more frequently visited than others. Two in particular right now are Iceland and Norway’s Lofoten Islands. Both are great locations for landscape photography and there’s nothing wrong with going to either one of them. But I think there’s …
by Bethany Lloyd I’ve visited Austria a few times now and each spell has been unfortunately brief. I’ve had just enough time on each of my visits to make me want to come back for more. I’ve dipped in and out of Innsbruck once or twice during my time in the South Tyrol but it was only ever long enough …
by Bethany Lloyd. The Italian Dolomites have been my home from home for a few years now. Two summers and a winter amongst the Dolomitic limestone peaks have allowed me to see this mountain range in all of its seasons and weathers and because of this it has always stood out as my favourite. It has hugely influenced my photography …
by Mark Iandolo. Equal parts rugged and serene, Cyprus – the small island country in the Mediterranean – has something for everyone. Dive into the sea from 20-foot cliffs. Attempt to beat the rising tide as you scramble through sea caves. Relax at any of its famous beaches. Or, my favorite – explore the intriguing history. Cyprus: History For a …
With this post, I have the pleasure of introducing Bethany Lloyd, walk leader and photographer in the Alps, as a regular contributor to the Travel Stories section of the site. From now on, Beth will contribute one article every month about her adventures across the mountains of Italy, Austria, Spain, and others. Besides being an experienced walk leader and a …
The Plitvice Lakes National Park (Nacionalni park “Plitvička jezera”) in Croatia is likely the most popular tourist attraction of the country and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It contains 16 lakes, separated from each other by natural travertine dams that form a large number of waterfalls. Given its unique beauty and its popularity, it is unsurprising that the park is very crowded, …
I recently had the opportunity and the pleasure to visit Croatia for a few days, a country that is so close to Italy but that I had never been to before. I regret having waited so long to go there, since the country is incredibly beautiful and scenic. Now that I’ve discovered it, I am sure I will be back, …
