I took this macro photo while on a trip to Thailand last Winter. I saw the fly land on the leaf and got my tripod out and set up. I took some shots from a distance away and approached gradually, but the fly remained on the leaf. This photo is the closest I got before he flew away. The most photogenic fly I ever met.

From the terrace of the castle gardens in Heidelberg, you can enjoy a view over the old town and the castle ruins. In late September and October, the Sun will set in a perfect spot between the mountain Heiligenberg and the castle, illuminating the city. It is one of the most visited spots for tourists and natives.

This picture is cropped from a much wider panoramic shot that extends further to the right.

Near Mt. Charleston, just outside Las Vegas, NV. The storm was following my Jeep out of the mountain. For a brief moment, the Sun broke through the dense cloud cover and cast a light on this mountain to my side. Luckily I pulled over and snapped the shot before the storm reclaimed the land.
