The Earth Story

• Spent most of the day on narrow trails that snaked through giant-strangely shaped stones. Occasionally opening up to long drawn out hills that reminded me how fast my girl cherry could run, and we ended up here.... which my riding partner Ferhat could only describe in broken english as “an old place... a place where you and your horse would come from far to rest”. Thanks for getting the shot @nainoalanger and thank you @moonlighthorseranch for introducing  me to cherry 🐎🍒 I’ll miss her.

Breathtaking Bora Bora Bungalows 😍

During the night of the 28th July 2017, the island of Stromboli - one of the planet's few continually active volcanoes - unexpectedly began to have a series of extremely violent eruptions. I was observing it from the roof of our house on the adjacent island of Panarea, and had set up my camera to capture this event. I spent much of the night in utter awe at this extraordinary spectacle unfolding, with a gibbous crescent moon (out of sight on the left) and the eruptions seemingly illuminating the night sky. The sky was very clear that day, and above Stromboli, the delicate plume of the Milky Way rotates in its graceful arc, until the first light of dawn begins to appear. There is very little light pollution in the Aeolian Islands, and the stars can clearly be seen all night. This timelapse sequence consists of over 600 individual images, captured over a 4 hour period from 00:20 until 04:20, using a Nikon D810 camera with a Zeiss Milvus 18mm lens.
