1; Lake Powell Area, Glen Canyon NAR; 127 photos; Hieroglyphs of the Earth; Glen Canyon National Recreational Area. More than 1.25 million acres of incredibly diverse and beautiful land and 650 million years of the Earth's history. Lake Powell - the heart of Glen Canyon is 186 miles long and has 1,960 miles of shoreline - longer than the entire west coast of the continental United States. Lake was formed by Glen Canyon Dam and named in honor of Civil War veteran and explorer John Wesley Powell. There are 96 major canyons to explore and countless smaller tributaries. The entire area presents an unlimited potential for a landscape photographer. There are almost no roads along the shores of the Lake Powell, and the large areas of this incredible labyrinth are accessible only by air. I have organized several lend, water and aerial photo-expeditions to the area over last 12 years and have built an ultimate knowledge of its main geological features, preferable light, photogenic altitude and angles. This gallery is the result of my exploration. Enjoy!

42 Photos1;Cote d'Albatre/Alabaster Coast, Ertretat; 21 photo; Cote d'Albatre – The Alabaster Coast; Etretat is best known for its chalk cliffs, including three natural arches and a pointed formation called L'Aiguille or the Needle, which rises 70 metres (230 ft) above the sea. Some of the cliffs tower 90 metres (300 ft) over the Atlantic Ocean. These natural wonders are freely accessible, as is the white pebble beach. Claude Monet and other Impressionists famously painted the arches and cliffs in the nineteenth century. An Arsène Lupin story was based here while Guy du Maupassant spent most of this childhood in the town.;
21 photo1;Sentinels of Swamps; 91 photo; Sentinels of Swamps; Rising tall from dark, murky waters, the bald cypress tree is a stately symbol of the swamp. Associated with the bayou, Spanish moss, pelicans, egrets and alligators, the bald cypress is the state tree of Louisiana. Its feathery foliage, wide and buttressed base and irregular crown dominate many southeastern wetlands, and its range extends throughout the southeastern U.S. from southern Delaware to eastern Texas. Bald cypress are often found growing with another type of swamp loving tree, the tupelo. Cypress is one of the few conifers that lose its needles in the winter and the bare trunks and branches present a more haunted feeling. There is always something different to see in the swamp. Just imagine the fog-engulfed swamp with the knobby knees of bald cypresses sticking out the water and Spanish Moss, transforming the trees into an arboreal versions of mysterious shaggy creatures.
91 photo22; Atacama and Altiplano. Chile-Bolivia; 79 photos; Traveling The High Plain; Atacama is the driest desert on Earth and recent scientific studies demonstrated that the soil in the region is about 25-30 million years old. The Atacama landscape is characterized by highlands, volcanoes, salt lakes, lagoons, hot springs, strange rock formations and sand dunes. Famous natural landmarks include Licancabur Volcano, Valle de la Luna, Parque nacional del Valle de la Muerte, El Tatio Geysers and the Atacama Salt Flat. The Altiplano, meaning “high plain” in Spanish, is a high plateau in the Andes Mountains stretching across the borders of Chile, Bolivia, Argentina and Peru. Altiplano is a place of superlatives: It holds the world's highest navigable lake, Titicaca, and the largest salt flat, Salar de Uyuni. It is the second largest mountain plateau in the world, after that of Tibet. It also is home to many active volcanoes.
79 photos28; Symmetries and Beyond; 25 photos; Symmetry Studies; In architecture, symmetry is the reflection of shared forms, shapes, or angles across a central line or point called the axis. Basically, components that mirror each other across an axis are symmetrical. This is one of the oldest and most continuously used ordering principles in architecture. Symmetry helps bind various elements of a structure together into a single, unified whole. It is also commonly used to create a sense of rational order and calm logic. We can look at symmetry on many scales, from the relationship between single details, to the layout of the complete structure, and even to entire urban centers built on a symmetrical grid pattern. ©study.com
25 photos2; Lofoten Winter Magic; 60 Photos; Lofoten Winter Magic; At 68N, the Lofoten archipelago in the northern part of Norway well above the arctic circle, and at the same latitude as Greenland or the northern parts of Alaska. However, it enjoys a relatively milder climate due to the circulation of the Gulf Stream. With its postcard-looking small fishing villages nestled in fjords, dotting a very rugged coast with abrupt peaks rising directly from the ocean, the archipelago is often described as one of the most scenic parts of Norway and one of the most beautiful archipelagos in the world. In winter months you have a real feeling of being north of the arctic circle with short days and the few hours of daylight filled with one long transition from sunrise to sunset. Due to mild climate and incredible beauty, Lofoten archipelago became one of the top winter photography destinations.
60 Photos4; Le Mont Saint Michel Abbey; 38 Photos;; A magical island topped by a gravity-defying medieval monastery, the Mont-Saint-Michel counts among France’s most stunning sights. For centuries one of Europe’s major pilgrimage destinations, this holy mount is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as is its breathtaking bay.
38 Photos8; Mono Lake, Eastern Sierra, California; 28 Photos; Spirits of Mono Lake; Located at the elevation of about 2000 meters over sea level, the Mono Lake is one of the most beautiful and unusual lakes not only in California or the USA, but perhaps on the Planet. Eerie tufa sculptures, like fairy-tail figures rise from salty waters of the lake on the backdrop of snow-caped peaks of Eastern Sierra.
28 Photos9; Kolmanskop Ghost town, Namibia; 27 Photos; Sands of Time; Kolmanskop is situated in forbidden territory of Namib Desert in Southern Namibia. It was once the home to hundreds of German miners desperately seeking their fortune in the Namibian desert. Town was built in early XIX century as a result of frantic diamond rush and was ultimately abandoned in 1954, when the diamond-field exhausted. The stately homes have been nearly swallowed by the desert dunes and heavily demolished by the wind. In 1980, the mining company De Beers, restored a number of buildings, and established and interesting museum, which has now become a major attraction for tourists and photographers.Kolmanskop is situated in forbidden territory of Namib Desert in Southern Namibia.
