Black‑and‑white photograph of an abandoned car in a dry, open landscape in Bodie, a ghost town high in the Sierra Nevada. Weathered wooden buildings stand in the background, with patches of snow on the ground and distant hills. Dramatic clouds fill the sky, enhancing the sense of isolation and the frozen‑in‑time atmosphere of this former gold‑rush town. This photograph was part of an exhibition in Athens, Greece, at the Blank Wall Gallery.

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, the lingering after‑effect of the gold rush.

Black‑and‑white photograph of an old wooden church standing in a dry, open landscape in Bodie, California. The weathered building has a steeple and bell tower, with a few other abandoned wooden structures scattered in the background. Dramatic clouds fill the sky, emphasizing the ghost‑town atmosphere and the sense of a preserved past.

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.

That day felt unusual — I was moving between two heavy layers of clouds.
The soft, filtered light gave the place a mysterious mood, transforming those modest mountains into something from a child’s fantasy tale.

A mountain landscape at sunset seen from Olmsted Point in Yosemite National Park. Rugged granite peaks and forested slopes fall into shadow while vivid clouds glow in shades of pink, purple, and orange above. Half Dome is visible in the distance, silhouetted against the dramatic post‑sunset light.

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…

A fiery orange sky glows above a rocky landscape in Yosemite, with tall silhouetted trees standing against the intense sunset. The ground is dark, emphasizing the dramatic color gradient in the sky as storm clouds break open to reveal vivid light.

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.

A desert landscape at sunset with large rounded granite boulders and a few small trees scattered among them. Warm golden light illuminates the rocks while the sky above fades from deep blue to soft clouds. The scene captures the quiet, rugged beauty of Joshua Tree National Park.

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.

Black‑and‑white photograph of the Argentinian Altiplano. A vast, high‑altitude plateau stretches into the distance, with rolling hills, sparse dry grasses, and rugged terrain. Dark storm clouds gather overhead, creating strong contrasts of light and shadow across the landscape. The scene conveys isolation, wildness, and the immense scale of the region.

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.

What a light ! Awesome shot ! 👏👏👏

The clouds are definitely bringing better light and contrast ! Very well done !!!! 👏

Stunning shot ! Love those lines !

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.

Thank you so much Ronald ! 🙏😉

View from a hill overlooking Lima at sunset. A large wooden cross stands in the foreground on rocky ground. Below, the city spreads out in dense layers of buildings. On the left, a dividing wall separates a wealthy neighborhood from a poorer one. Warm orange and pink light fills the sky, contrasting with the urban landscape and highlighting the city’s inequalities.

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 vast 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.

Stunning scene ! Great job !

Above Lima, on the first hills before the real Andes, the sun slowly dives into the Pacific Ocean. The city below remains vivid, its lights awakening as the day is far from over for most.

Iconic pier of the Malecón de Miraflores, La Rosa Náutica brings together so many layers of Lima’s life: fishermen, 24/7 surfers, people strolling slowly, and joggers tracing the coastline. A place where the gigantic city meets the Pacific Ocean.

Lima Centro Histórico. So many wonderful buildings offering both a deep cultural and historical experience, and incredible views of the surrounding hills from the tops of old churches. This modern daily life unfolding in the middle of colonial architecture creates a fascinating contrast.

Seagulls line up neatly, staring at the Pacific Ocean. Lima, an aesthetic and fascinating chaos of colors, traffic, markets, desert dust, history, and culture. You either love it or hate it.

Thanks a lot Christoph! I have to admit that I prefer more snow and more light when skiing… but the photographer in me definitely enjoy those conditions a lot! 🙏😊

End of the day.
I love when the light begins to fade in the mountains,
when the sun slips behind jagged summits or sparse clouds.
And when a few skiers know it’s the perfect moment to be out there.
