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!

Once you see the wolf you can never un-see it.

Took a 14 hour flight and drove 10 just to visit for a couple of days. It's amazing what photography can make you do. @destinsparks

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.

After fours hours on trains and buses and a hay fever-intensive hike, we got to our destination. Sunsets in Bavaria are always a special experience and alpine sunsets are truly magical. If you ever plan to hike in Bavaria, I would highly recommend checking out the Allgäuer Alpen in the west.

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.

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.

My assistant and I recently braced -24°c in the United States. We drove 4516km (2806mi), hit 10 National Parks and crossed 4 States in just 8 days.

In preparation for my trip I closed my eyes, bowed my head and prayed for just one awe-inspiring photograph… and truly this is it - Yosemite National Park
