This image was taken from Brooklyn Bridge Park just around sunset.

As it was December, the trees were barren and the sky very gray most days. As it cleared up one afternoon, I got set up and waited for the orange glow to hit the glass on the buildings, the trees to the side and the pylons in the water.

If you look between black and white, you'll always find life in color...

his shot was taken at the famous Yosemite National Park on Christmas day. The snow was still fresh and pure, covering mountains, trees and roads. Lot of flash flooding lately...Yosemite, please stay safe.

I received my new drone a few days before the ending of 2016 but i couldn't fly it here in the Netherlands since we were hit by some heavy fog for a few days. finally on the 30th of December it was clearing up just a little but, which ended up being just enough so i could try out the drone and hover above some trees near my living place. All of the trees were covered in ice but it didn't cover up all the grass on the floor, resulting in some nice orange/red grass coming through the icy scenery.

This photo was taken in the "Speicherstadt" District in Hamburg (Germany). On midday this place looks kind of boring but in the late evening, the lights go on and the place turns into a great photo spot.

It is said that Tolkien travelled through the landscape of Switzerland to the Lauterbrunnen Valley, a deep valley that many people now believe was the direct inspiration for the valley of Rivendell, a place instrumental to events both in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

The name Rivendell itself means "Deeply Cloven Valley" and the Lauterbrunnen, with its steep sides and many waterfalls (72 to be exact), certainly fits this description, with the mountains of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau lying beyond.
