An extremely windy morning made in not an easy task taking this image. Light rain forced me to protect the gear with an umbrella, but the wind was so strong, that I wasn’t able to hold it with one hand. Luckily the sun came through the clouds for a few seconds.
In the east of Sikkim we got this nice view of Bidan Chu Lake, popularly known as the Elephant Lake because of the shape resembles of an elephant. This sector of Sikkim is blessed with three beautiful lakes, Bidhan Chu, Menmechu and Tsongo. Bidhan Chu comes first following the highway from Zuluk. It is located [...]
A well known mountain view of the Italian Dolomites. I always try to find a new and fresh perspective. Framing the wonderful scenery was my first intention. When I recognized a single cloud moving into the composition all I had to do is waiting for the perfect moment.

The country house, the trees (a few of them skeletal), the elongated shadows on the ground created by the rays of the sun – all these elements just seemed to [...]
Summertime in the afternoon on the small lake near Como Lake, lies between Milan and the border of Switzerland. It’s southern tip is about 40km north of Milan. It is surrounded by mountains and hills.
