Traditional Fishing

I took this photo of the cormorant fisherman by the Li River, near Yangshuo. I did some research before I went so I had a pretty good idea how cormorant fishing worked, but had no idea how fast those birds are. They’ll dive after a fish to catch it, but since the fishermen ties a snare around it’s throat it cannot swallow a large fish. Rather, it holds the fish in its throat and coughs it up when the fisherman brings the bird back to the boat. It was pretty cool to watch!

Stormy Days

Even on dark and stormy days, Ruby Beach is dramatically beautiful. Here some atmospheric drama unfolding shortly before sunset in the pacific northwest. On days like this you see very few human visitors. Such environments provide a sense of perspective that is truly ineffable and is very much worth the effort to experience it — at Olympic National Park, WA, USA

Mountains Of Rio

The view of the skyline of Rio de Janeiro from Niterói is in my opinion the most impressive. It’s the only place that allows you to get all of the famous mountains of Rio on the same shot.
