This is Mount Cook, the highest mountain in New Zealand, located in the Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park.

I took this photo a few days ago during my stay at Lake Tekapo. We traveled along Lake Pukaki while the mountain was covered in clouds. Later that day we got really lucky with the weather, as it became really sunny and the complete mountain range was cloud free, which happens not really often. After sunset, I had the great opportunity to take this photo, while the mountain was covered in the last red sunrays while the other mountains and the lake went dark. The reflections on the lake were just marvelous.

The photo is nearly untouched, I just did some minimal lens correction and color adaption, as photos taken with the 70-300mm sometimes seem to be a bit foggy.

Let your imagination drift into the cosmic void and find solace there... Serenity is waiting.

The Montenegran town of Kotor dates back to Roman times and is surrounded by 4km of city walls which encompass both the city and the mountains behind it. This picture was taken around mid day, there was still a touch of mist lingering in the mountains.

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.

A nice sunset at Cape Arago on the Oregon Coast on the evening of February 2nd, 2014.

I had to dodge a few incoming waves at this mid-tide time. My wife stands watch to yell at me when a big incoming one makes me grab the tripod and run. Finally captured the reflections I wanted.

A little bit of trespassing led me to the Rose Valley Reservoir in West Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada which is still largely frozen-over (though not traversable). Then it was just a matter of waiting for the Sun to set.

Walking through the Daintree Rainforest I stumbled back as I saw this lizard clinging to a tree at my eye level. We looked at each other for a while, he didn't move at all, and he kindly let me take his photograph before I continued through the rainforest back to Mossman Gorge.

I have been extremely busy at work, not much time for making artwork, but I managed to get a free Sunday to finish this. :) Thanks for the kind comments on my last pieces!
