view across Lake Hawea, New Zealand, just before sunset. I had hoped for some nice reflections here but the wind was just too strong.

I love this place to see the sunset.

This happened October 26th, 2008 on a cloudy afternoon. I'm an aviation enthusiast and I was waiting for Iberia's Airbus A340 to arrive as I do many other days past 3pm but this particular afternoon, even if the sun was shinning, there was a big cloud blocking the way so I stayed alert for a cloud-breaking moment but never for one of this magnitude. It was breathtaking.

This photograph was taken with a Canon EOS 40D + EF 100-400mm L lens. I used Apple Aperture for editing and Adobe Photoshop CS3 for resizing.

Taken in Yosemite Valley National Park at Mirror Lake.

Probably the best levada walk that you can do on Madeira island.

The Otuataua Stonefields are a reminder of Auckland's volcanic past, full of stones flung out in successive volcanic eruptions. I was lucky enough to experience a beautiful sunrise there and captured this shot just before leaving. (And yes, these were the actual colours).

I was lucky to have this great view over the mountains of Franschhoek valley in Western Cape, South Africa. When the last sun rays gave the valley its warm colours I took this photo.
