Klöntalersee is a natural lake in the Canton of Glarus, Switzerland. Since 1908, it has been used as a reservoir for electricity production. The dam's construction substantially increased the lake's volume.

This is certainly one of my favorite lakes in Switzerland!

This picture has been taken in 2013 in Corsica. It shows Ajaccio on the opposite shore, the main capital of this French island. Originally I wanted to further abstract the sky with falling stars but gave it a pass as most people probably don't like that. If you're still interested to see it, head over to my website and have a look.

Skógafoss is a waterfall situated on the Skógá River in the south of Iceland at the cliffs of the former coastline and is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country with a width of 25 m (82 feet) and a drop of 60 m (200 ft).

According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area buried a treasure in a cave behind the waterfall but I couldn't find it...

Taken from Gornergrad, a rocky ridge of the Pennine Alps, overlooking the Gorner Glacier south-east of Zermatt in Switzerland.

I was like standing there and then like woah, all of a sudden there was this cloud reaching out and then it was like lit from below and I was like SNAP boom into my camera.

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.

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
