Svalbard, 2023. Moody skies can really make a photograph. Other than the black and white conversion, this image is almost straight out of camera. ~KD

As might been noticed from the updated homepage gallery, I recently completed a trip to Svalbard in the Arctic circle, my second trip to the archipelago, the first trip being back in 2013. Landing in the only town of real size there, Longyearbyen, it appeared that there’s been considerable development in the intervening decade. Unlike my previous visit, this visit was to be mostly ship based exploration of the northern parts of the islands with the emphasis on […]
Early morning in Kahna Tiger Reserve in India, not a breath of wind and the pond has a glass-like reflective sheen.

The early light picks out the foliage of the trees on the far shoreline and is evident in the refection of course. There is a blackened dead tree, standing stick-like and reflected perfectly in […]
The River Nile near Aswan, Egypt, and the water gives a near-perfect golden metallic reflection.

Excuse me as I revisit some of my photographs from the March, 2007, trip through Egypt and Jordan when I was fortunate enough to travel through Wadi Rum. World Heritage listing. Wadi Rum in Southern Jordan is a desert region of sandy valleys and dramatic sandstone and granite mountains some over 1700 metres in height. Covering an area of 720 square kilometres, there has been human habitation here for thousands of years, UNESCO recognizing its cultural significance by adding it […]
