I took this image during a flight over the fjords next to Queenstown, New Zealand. It was a rather lucky shot as there weren't too many reflections from the windshield that had to be removed.

Lake Wakatipu is an inland lake on the South Island of New Zealand. It is famous for its scenic beauty, so it surely doesn't hurt getting out of your car and taking a quick photo to remember the beauty of this unique scenery.

Finally, my first trip to Australia and I'm blown away by the contrasts between a dark red soil, a deep blue sky and the rich fauna. Definitely worth the wait!

How various the colors of the sky can be, you can see on this picture I created from nine of my favorite shots since 2008. Enjoy!

Castle Mountain is located within Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, approximately half-way between Banff and Lake Louise. Visitors usually only pull over to take pictures of wild animals, so they were kind of distracted when they saw me kneeing in the middle of the road, aiming towards Castle Mountain. :-D

Since Barack Obama and his family visited Yellowstone National Park as well, there was just a little too much Secret Service for me and my camera. ;-) So, I decided to continue my photo safari trip to Banff National Park, where I encountered this beautiful, emerald colored lake. Technique: HDRI made using 3 of the 7 exposures (Smart object method) and then processed in PS with Nik Color Efex and curves.
