Old and high in the Californian Sierra Nevada, Bodie is an incredible ghost town. Once one of the largest cities in the state, time has now stopped here. It is the perfect place to witness the past and the lingering after‑effect of the gold rush.

Witness of the past, still standing. Once welcoming the people of one of California’s largest towns, it is now a place where your imagination can wander freely.

We were a couple of photographers that evening. Most left as soon as the sun slipped below the horizon. Only two of us stayed. And we were the ones who witnessed the colourful show ten minutes later…

Yosemite, California. Late‑afternoon storms are classics here, often delivering dramatic sunsets. I tend to arrive early as I love the wait, hoping for the best light show. And what a reward when it happens.

Famous for its trees, Joshua Tree National Park is also a granite mecca attracting climbers from around the world. Spending a couple of days in this desert is a humbling experience. Sunsets are often magical here, especially when clouds, rocks, and desert light work together.

Wild Argentina. High on the altiplano, with no one else for hundreds of kilometres, crossing beauty I never even imagined — something you won’t find in any book. Unique, memorable.

Just north of the famous Salar de Uyuni, Tunupa Volcano is somewhat secluded and sees far fewer visitors. It is beautiful, remote, and offers the best evening one could wish for.

At the Chile–Bolivia border and rising above 6000 m, Parinacota is an ancient volcano, a white sentinel watching over both countries, often disappearing into the afternoon storms.

End of the day over Lima. Time to run down the hills and let the vast Pacific Ocean disappear into the dark. Until tomorrow.
