Thirty-Eighth Collection

Between Malga Lessinia and Castelberto, Lessinia Regional Park, trenches were dug among the ancient rocks during the First World War. Today they can be visited, with the silence and respect they deserve.

San Gimignano is a small Italian town between Florence and Siena. Surrounded by 13th-century walls, and full of towers that create the typical skyline of this medieval town.
San Gimignano è un piccolo paese italiano fra Firenze e Siena. Circondata da mura del XIII secolo, e piena di torri che creano il tipico skyline di questo paese medievale.

Lovely Crescent Lake in the Olympic National Forest in the Pacific Northwest ~
I was concerned about getting a photo as there was smoke from surrounding fires and instead, the smoke gave the lake an ethereal feel ~ very mystical. “Lake Crescent misty view -2020“

Magnifico día de playa en Punta Cana, en la isla caribeña de República Dominicana, sus excelentes playas y actividades hacen al turista gozar de todas las buenas bondades de esta parte del caribe, como es playa Bávaro.

This was the most challenging photograph ever. It was shot indoors through a glass. I had to take care of all the reflections, shadows, and dust on the glass itself. End of the day it was the first time shooting for me through the glass and the results very quite satisfactory and hope you like it as well.

The warm hues of Fall at Mono Cliffs Provincial Park in Canada. Nature in all its glory during the fall season! The woods have always amazed me with its beauty, with or without leaves.

This is my favorite walk on an early autumn morning. On this day I caught a man looking at Manhattan buildings shrouded in fog while walking his dog on the Hudson River walkway in Jersey city.

I took this photo at a beach in Adelaide – Australia. A special bit of our country with magical views, amazing sunsets, and beautiful beaches.

'Rough diamonds may sometimes be mistaken for worthless pebbles.' — Thomas Browne.

The Newt in Somerset was the setting for this bountiful display. It was their harvest weekend and we paid a visit to the wonderful gardens and farm shop. These were just a few of the offerings from the estate.

These are man-made gourds and winter squash that started the fall season on my table. We find what we can in these difficult times.

A stroll after dinner with some drizzle by the River Nairn along Harbour street on one autumn late afternoon. I thought it would be nice to put it in black and white for a better compliment of the shot.

During the beach walk in Ericeira / Portugal in October 2020 I had the opportunity to catch the stretch of a flying seagull. No doubt for me to name that picture "s t r e t c h". The image has been taken with an iPhone Xs + Hipstamatic.

This beautiful landscape was captured at Elterwater, Lake District, United Kingdom. I was in love with the lush green natural beauty adorned with amazing reflections provide by calm Elterwater lake.

This picture was taken in a small boat during my vacation in Seychelles & I just had my iPhone with me, so I framed the shot very carefully as I wanted to take the shot going close to the water also capturing the cloudy skies & this lone ship. Loved the overall blue feel to this & tried to edit in the same format.

Hard to get up at dawn in late summer, the sun still rises very early. But if you do it and you are by the sea on the Conero Riviera, with a little luck you can find this beautiful landscape.

A spectacular sunset over the Arno River, the river that runs through Florence, Italy
Uno spettacolare tramonto sul fiume Arno, il fiume che attraverso Firenze, in Italia

The Autumn Sun rises behind the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, as seen from the Exchange Place Pier in Jersey City on a recent weekend. For once, the pier was empty of people.

This photo was taken from a hotel roof top while I was doing taking some early evening shots. Using my iPhone at the time was very spontaneous & I didn't have a tripod to capture this frame so I placed my phone against a glass & took a 3-second timer shot. Post Processing was done in Lightroom Mobile.

There is nothing to do: you can no longer see the mists of the past, the ones that even in the city center prevented you from seeing a few meters away. Today, it will be due to the rise in temperatures, more mists than fogs in the center. However, they give magic to known landscapes. As in the Roman bridge Ponte Pietra.

This is a wonderful walk to catch the sunset on an Autumn evening. I took this picture near the Second World War Liberation Monument, in Liberty State Park in Jersey City.

This picture was taken from a yacht & as the world knows about this beautiful 7-star hotel - Burj Al Arab, I loved the view so much due to the pink & orange skies & wanted to capture it asap with my iPhone. Love the winters in Dubai.
