The forest waits in silence,
until the sun finally arrives.

Enjoy the weekend !

Autumn means shorter days.
That last light in the mountains always comes at a low angle, changing the landscape dramatically.

Stand proud, whatever the difference.

It’s raining. The sun casts a final beam, fighting its battle before the day ends, while the valley has already surrendered to the dark.

Morning light in the deep valley of Val de Bagnes. Late autumn whispers that snow is near…

Seasonal transition. Autumn is fully here: golden larches glowing, thirsty glaciers waiting. Time holds its breath. Do I want to keep these colors, or am I ready for a thick white cap?

After five days hiking in the mountains, I ventured onto the wild beaches of Olympic National Park.
An approaching storm added a dramatic touch to an already rugged landscape.
Driftwood, pebbles, starfish… Unforgettable memories.

2010 - Sol Duc Waterfall - Olympic National Park.
After all the autumn rain, the falls were roaring.
Hard not to stop, set the tripod, and play with shutter speed and composition.

2010 - Olympic National Park
Black and white edit of my previous post.
I remember this place being truly unique — slightly rainy, cold, the parking lot empty, and the Hoh River rushing nearby.
I stayed a while among the trees before hiking deeper into those magical woods.

Do you prefer the colour or the Black and White edit ? I’d love to hear! 🤗
