Inspiring Photography Locations

The Snæfellsnes peninsula is on the western part of the island of Iceland, and boasts Kirkjufell (literally Church Mountain) and some lesser known gems like Skarðsvík Beach.

Reykjavik is northernmost capital in the world. Walking around the city you wouldn't guess you're so far north, the city is colorful and the people are so warm you might think you're closer to the equator than the arctic.

The Gjáin valley is like many other attractions in Iceland, things look quite barren and uninteresting and as seemingly out of nowhere a spectacular canyon or valley appears. 

Sigöldufoss is a small waterfall, by Icelandic standards, however the desolate landscape contrasted against the almost pure turquoise makes it a sight worth seeing.

Known as the Heart of the southern Highlands, being in Landmannalaugar is like being on another planet. These pictures will hopefully attest, that this region is arguably the most beautiful in Iceland.

Before heading to the South Coast of Iceland, we spent a few days in the Highlands. There are plenty of highlights in the south but the Highlands were so spectacular, we wanted to stay longer. Hiking in Landmannalaugar is like being on another planet.

The south coast boasts many of Iceland's highlights, but as a result it is also one of the most popular destinations for tourists. Fortunately there are some hidden gems and some lesser known spots close to the main attractions so you can enjoy some spectacular nature without the chattering masses and buzzing of drones. 

Anyone who has visited Glasgow already knows that "People Make Glasgow". It's nearly impossible to order a round at the bar, without striking up a conversation with someone. Just reading the slogan you might think it's catchphrase to compensate for less than picturesque cityscape. On the contrary, the city has plenty of beautiful spots. 

While Kirkjufell is clearly the main draw on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, it would be a shame to overlook Skarðsvík Beach. The golden sands and turquoise water cut a sharp contrast to the surrounding dark, volcanic landscape.

Down the Makarska Riviera, from Lokrum to Hvar and Supitar, the Croatian coast and islands have a lot to offer.

See Venice and die, the saying goes. Yes, see Venice and die of old age waiting for your flight at the Marco Polo Airport is the origin of the phrase, I believe.

Dubrovnik has become a popular tourist destination, in some cases a little too popular, but it's easy to see why. Just getting there you are treated to some spectacular views.

Berlin has a wealth of old abandoned buildings, although real estate is becoming scarce and the condemned buildings, amusement parks and the like are slowly but surely being cordoned off and torn down. All the more reason to go see them before they're gone.

I spent a weekend in  Cinque Terre on the Italian Riviera - the start of the first day was wash out but the Mediterranean sun quickly dried everything and made for some great photos.
