This was taken on a recent drive over the North York Moors National Park. One of the finest views in England so it says on a nearby signpost.

I got lucky with my timing and the sunset being as beautiful as it was.

After a day with cloudy and rainy weather, we were lucky to get a great sunset on top of the Empire State Building. The colors of the sky and of the fading city were just great!

Shot at sunset from the roof of a Nido Tower in London. A breathtaking view. It was a bit of a mission, seen as heights are not my comfort zone, to balance a camera over a glass barrier, whilst looking down at the view below, was a little nerve wracking but definitely worth it. Due to lack of a tripod I had to go higher with ISO but the end result was not bad at all.

Lake Lucerne (German: Vierwaldstättersee, literally "Lake of the Four Forested Settlements") is a lake in central Switzerland and the fourth largest in the country.

I'm standing on top of the Fronalpstock, 1,921 metres (6,302 ft) above sea level, above the meadow of the Rütli, the traditional site of the founding of the Swiss Confederation. Happy National Day Switzerland!

Ben Lomond (Bob's Peak) is a mountain in New Zealand which offers a great aerial scenic view over Queenstown, a resort town at Lake Wakatipu. A Skyline Gondola ascends Bob's Peak on Ben Lomond, making it easy to lift your 20 pound camera gear up to the 1,631m summit.

Discovered this beach while camping at El Capitan State Beach in Santa Barbara, California. I recently upgraded my camera system to the Sony A7 and I was testing all types of scenarios.

I'm currently on Iceland and was quite disappointed the last time when I travelled here (drone crash, bad weather and almost no northern lights).

This time however, my return to Iceland was awarded with the most powerful northern lights I've ever seen!
