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.

The second‑biggest desert city in the world, Lima sits on the Pacific coast, snug between the ocean and the Andes.
To the east, the mountains rise abruptly, often offering stunning sunsets to those adventurous enough to climb those dusty hills.

Above Lima.
On the left, the wall of shame separates the posh suburb from the slum.
This cross offers the curious wanderer an incredible sunset and a stunning view over the city’s contrasts and inequalities.

End of the day over Lima. Warm sunlight slowly fades and turns this big city into a cyberpunk maze of light, revealing the neblina, those thick clouds trapped between ocean and land.

Malecón de Lima. Just a thin line between the vast Pacific Ocean and Peru’s largest city. At night, both sides reveal their own contrasts and rhythms: calm and darkness over the water, vivid and restless on the land.
