Setting off just before dawn, we hiked the short 1km trail up to the top of Raven Crag, which overlooks the length of Thirlmere. It was one of those bitingly cold winter mornings, but the moment the sun came up over the Helvellyn range, all discomforts are forgotten as you realise the beauty of the world.

I wouldn’t have called this a perfect day, at least not by most standards. Dark, cold, and a bit snowy for fall. It wasn’t blue skies and sunny to say the least. Despite everything being a bit “messy” it was a prefect day for photography and it led to amazing shots like this one. Sometimes just because things aren’t “perfect” doesn’t mean they can’t be perfect 😉

Caminando por un paraje verde y luminoso, a partes nublado por unas nubes que lo cubrían en la intermitencia, baja un río color cal proveniente de un inmenso glaciar colocado de forma estratégica para mandar sus caudales cuesta abajo dirección al mar. Apasionante ver cómo la magia puede invadir un lugar de estas magnitudes tan solo con unos pocos rayos de sol y un ambiente húmedo como de primavera.

I head up to Meteora the other day in hope I’ll get some good sunset but at the last minutes while driving, the whole area went dark from these massive clouds. Took a fiew shots without any sign of the sun and when I was literally about to get in my car and head back home, a tiny crack appears and this magnificent ray of light reveals. Moral: Don’t give up easy, even if the odds are against you. The tide can always turn unexpectedly in your favor.

We were on our way to Goillet Lake at 2561 meters above Breuil-Cervinia and took this shot with apparently no wind blowing on the lake. It’s 23 years since I first knew this outstanding piece of rock, italian called Mount Cervino, but all the time I see it in front of me it leaves me stunning and breathless. It’s a deep feeling you never forget.

During a stay in China, my french friend Nicolas who was living in Chengdu told me about Bi Peng Gou valley near east Tibet that we should explore. We took a bus without any foreigners, it was less than 2 years after the terrible earthquake, in Sichuan. Landscapes were really apocalyptic: all infrastructures in reconstruction, mountain down to the river… a long and hard roadway rewarded by thermal baths. A moto taxi brought us to the Bi Peng Gou lake traversing an enchanted forest. Finding the best view, I captured this shot by walking on an unstable stone dam. I really appreciated this trip.
