Europe

Manarola in Cinque Terre, Italy is one of the 5 towns of this region, accessed by rail or ferry. We visited in winter when the crowds weren't too crazy, thankfully! The towns are a photographers dream, and I spent the day wandering, looking for the perfect spot. We waited and waited and got a beautiful sunset, however I kept shooting through until the lights in the town came on. I preferred the blue hour shot over the sunset shot for once! We rushed to catch the last train after I decided enough was enough.

Lud's Church is a remarkable geological formation located in the Peak District National Park, Staffordshire, England. This deep, moss-covered chasm was created by a massive landslip in the Millstone Grit bedrock, resulting in a natural ravine over 100 metres long and 18 metres deep.

The Tora River flows down through the Billingin area, in the Reinheimen National Park, in one of the high interior valleys of central Norway. A bridge that was first built in the 1900's crosses here, and allowed me to see the incredible flow of this river in full melt. 

An amazing site, and precarious situation. The hike up from the base in Billingen, in the Reinheimen National Park is steep and beautiful. At this point a rock, wedged in between the cliffs allows walkers to pass from one side of the river to the other. The best spot for an image though, was perched on the side of a narrow lookout above the falls.

This Alpine lake in southern Norway sits high, and is an important source of Hydroelectric power. We were here in Mid Summer and there was still snow on the ground, it was incredible to see.

Captured at 1am during Summer, This outstanding image had me standing out with Sheep on the beach for about 2 hours, as the sun dropped just under the horizon and then bobbed back up again. The waters of the Skjelfjorden lapped at my tripod feet, and I had to ensure the water movement didn't ruin the image.
