Where to start? My father was a survivor of Bergen Belsen and other camps during WW2. His family mostly escaped unharmed. Like many people, I still struggle to understand the scope of the horrors. But no matter how well, or little I think I understand, I believe that...

What a treat. What an absolute privilege to be able to travel with my entire to Amsterdam. That is where my father was from. He passed recently and we decided to go and visit long lost family and learn about his past at the same time. We certainly did some touristy...

Despite my dislike of chaotic crowds, I was absolutely compelled to this aging tangle of wild flowers in the Keukenhof Gardens. It mattered not to me that many were past their expiry date. That somehow added to their beauty.

Prior to travelling to Holland this past May, and in particular the world-famous Keukenhof Gardens and the tulip festival, I did my homework. I wanted to see what the photo-opportunities might be. I wanted to understand what I'd face upon arrival. I expected the...

The Bloemenmarkt is a floating flower market near the centre of Amsterdam. There are always lots of tourists and lots of flowers as you might imagine. It can be a challenge to create a picture that sorts out all the chaos and confusion, and allows those who see that...

Sometimes, the story is best told in your imagination. I have no words to explain this image. I made it because it was a beautiful scene and I wanted to share it.

I don't like spiders. Or snakes. If I'm honest I only mildly tolerate lady bugs. I'm not an insect guy. But I most certainly respect them all. If our species worked as hard and meticulously as the insect world does, we'd live in some amazingly beautiful and infinitely...

Over a period of two months in Naples, Florida, I made exactly one picture. This one. It wasn't that the ocean wasn't often beautiful, or that the landscaping wasn't vivid and stunning. I suppose that it was, for me, just a lot of the same. Add to that, I never took...

Sunsets in Churchill, Manitoba are often fantastic. But this atmospheric occurrence, known as a solar pillar had everyone on the tundra buggy forgetting we were looking for bears. It was as if together we were experiencing some sort of harbinger, or a message from...

It’s impossible to visit and experience the bears without being moved to the core. It is disheartening to think that this apex predator is so vulnerable to the mess we humans have created. It’s almost embarrassing to watch them from the safety and sanctuary of a...

Awaiting your arrival in Akko, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are all the things they tell you about, before traveling to Israel. Great museums, a fish market, humus and falafel. What they don’t tell you about are these delicious nut and seed cakes, all held together...

It seemed as if the mountains and fjords that guarded the mid-west coast of Greenland pointed directly towards one of our zodiacs, welcoming us to a land of great adventure and epic vistas. (This image won International Travel/Tourism Photographer of the Year in 2003).

Camping at the very edge of the ice, were the summer thaw separates what is attached to the land, from what will soon find its way into the currents that end up travelling south past Labrador and Newfoundland, is inexplicably exciting. Every time we heard the ice...

Arctic travel is subject to extreme turns in weather. These days, even more so with rising sea temperatures. In the summer that can mean dense fog that can endanger even the most experienced traveler. Our guide used what looked like a spear to test the thickness of...

I spend much of the summer on Lake Huron, never doubting how fortunate I am to see sunset after sunset, each one different from the last. The water is so clear that even as the light falls away you can still see the rocky ground beneath the surface. Brazil seems far...

At roughly 1000 meters above sea level, the Old Man of Storr is a 4km hike on the Isle of Skye not to be missed. A mixed blessing is that it also can be busy. Busy is good because I am always happy to see so many people outdoors, taking in nature and appreciating all...

Nature helps me find an equilibrium. That might be by a lake, or the ocean. It may be on a trail near my home, or when I can, it is here at the Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, not far from Naples, Florida. This is the largest old growth, Bald Cyprus forest in North...

Sorry for the absence. I’ve been away a bit but have some new images to share. Recently I was fortunate to experience a country that is home to many of the most dramatic landscapes on earth. From the Highlands to the islands of the Inner Hebrides, each with a unique...

I took this picture roughly 15 years ago on a trip to Tunisia. I was concerned about climate change even back then but also believed that people, businesses and government would see the urgency to act responsibly and good sense would prevail, thus saving the planet...

No matter what’s around the falls, wax museums, fast food, casinos and in short enough stuff to prove that people can’t find enough interest in one of the Wonders Of The Wold that they had to amuse themselves with trash – I never get tired of the shear power on...
