Blue hour over Mont Blanc. Deep winter — the cold settles in, the air perfectly still. Time to crawl into the sleeping bag and feel that first wave of warmth after the chill. No tent, just a bivy bag, open to the stars. Every second was worth it.

Mont Blanc, French Alps.
Winter is not far. Time for cold bivouacs and quiet mornings filled with color. No need to stay up late or wake up before dawn: the glow lasts longer. Clear skies, sharp contrasts, snow underfoot… and all the memories that
come with it.

Away from the main trails, the sequoias are still immense and humbling. Back in 2009, we wandered through these quiet woods, feeling small among the giants. The exposure might not be perfect, but this remains one of my favorite photos — a simple, candid moment that just happened.

Altered perceptions.
Water as smooth as glass made an afternoon of paddling in Algonquin Provincial Park absolute heaven.

A few summers back my son and I had the goods fortune to share an adventure together. 10 days driving the ring road around Iceland. We were amazed by the beauty.
One evening as we were heading to our accommodation we decided to capture this image with Vatnajökull and it’s glaciers in the background. The amazing thing about this shot is that it was captured at 21:50 and the sun was shining on us from the north. Really cool!

Sunset at Long Point Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada.
This old log caught my eye as we were strolling, enjoying the sunset, because it sort of looked like a dead sea monster washed up on the beach.

Playing with fire.
It’s amazing what you can create with an old kitchen whisk, some steel wool and a 9-volt battery. (Just be sure not to set your surroundings on fire)
