1/x “Autumn Aspen Trees, Utah” — Autumn aspens, Dixie National Forest. This is a somewhat unusual…more: gdanmitchell.com/2026/02/06/9... #utah #fall #aspens #photo #photography #photographer #photoOfTheDay #lensCulture #landscapePhotography #photographyLovers #naturePhotography #fineArtPhotography

That day felt unusual — I was moving between two heavy layers of clouds. The soft, filtered light gave the place a mysterious mood, transforming those modest mountains into something from a child’s fantasy tale. #MountainPhotography #SkiTouring #WinterMood #FrudayFeeling

End of the day. I love when the light begins to fade in the mountains, when the sun slips behind jagged summits or sparse clouds. And when a few skiers know it’s the perfect moment to be out there. #MountainPhotography #SkiTouring #WinterLight #WednesdayWisdom

Remote isn’t just that thing on your coffee table… you may discover it closer than you think. #MountainPhotography #BackcountrySkiing #WinterSolitude #TuesdayReflections

Shiny stars and remote mountains, A show to enjoy in silence Despite the bite of the cold Amazing Cordillera Huayhuash. #MountainPhotography #CordilleraHuayhuash #StarySky #TuesdayReflections

Not far from Lima, where city lights usually blur the night sky. But the Milky Way was incredible, a clear sky, and stars shining like never before. #NightSkyPhotography #MilkyWay #StarySky #MondayGlow

Last light warms the high summits. The remote Cordillera Huayhuash slowly sinks into the dark, pushing us toward our tent and sleeping bags. It’s already cold in the valley. #MountainPhotography #CordilleraHuayhuash #StarySky #SundayStillness

The day is gone. A cold night settles. The Moon shares its light, before the Northern Lights take over. Merry Christmas !!! #LandscapePhotography #NorthernNorway #WednesdayWisdom

Boats rest. Mountains wait. The dark night is long, before the sky performs. #LandscapePhotography #WinterLight #Norway #SundayStillness

Winter holds everything still. The river slows. Except the sky. Norway, February 2020 #landscapephotography #winterlight #Norway #SundayStillness

The forest waits in silence, until the sun finally arrives. #WinterLight #MountainPhotography #EdgesOfLight #FridayMood

Autumn means shorter days. That last light in the mountains always comes at a low angle, changing the landscape dramatically. #LandscapePhotography #AutumnLight #EdgesOfLight #ThursdayThoughts

Stand proud, whatever the difference. #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Minimalism #EdgesOfLight #WednesdayWisdom

Evening in the mountains—sheep gathering between dust and the golden light of sunset. The shepherd guides them with precision, turning routine into a daily dance of tradition and movement. #Transhumance #MountainLife #SheepHerding #SunsetGlow #RuralTradition #BlackAndWhitePhoto #NaturePhotography

It’s raining. The sun casts a final beam, fighting its battle before the day ends, while the valley has already surrendered to the dark. #LandscapePhotography #AutumnLight #EdgesOfLight #FridayFeeling

Morning light in the deep valley of Val de Bagnes. Late autumn whispers that snow is near… #LandscapePhotography #AutumnLight #EdgesOfLight #ThursdayThoughts

Seasonal transition. Autumn is fully here: golden larches glowing, thirsty glaciers waiting. Time holds its breath. Do I want to keep these colors, or am I ready for a thick white cap? #LandscapePhotography #AutumnLight #EdgesOfLight #WednesdayVibes #MidweekMood

After five days hiking in the mountains, I ventured onto the wild beaches of Olympic National Park. An approaching storm added a dramatic touch to an already rugged landscape. Driftwood, pebbles, starfish… #RubyBeach #NaturePhotography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #SilentSunday #WeekendWanderings

2010 - Sol Duc Waterfall - Olympic National Park. After all the autumn rain, the falls were roaring. Hard not to stop, set the tripod, and play with shutter speed and composition. #SolDucFalls #OlympicNationalPark #WaterfallPhotography #LongExposure #NatureMood #SaturdayScenes #SaturdayStillness

2010 - Olympic National Park Black and white edit of my previous post. I remember this place being truly unique, slightly rainy, cold, the parking lot empty, and the Hoh River rushing nearby. Do you prefer the colour or the Black and White edit ? I’d love to hear! 🤗 #flashbackfriday #fridayvibes

2010 #OlympicNP Every scenery is different, tinged with autumn lights and colors. When the path climbs, it crosses an alpine forest, leaving the rainforest down in the valley. Higher up some lakes are appearing, perfect links between the woods and the alpine meadows. Link in comments for the story

"#OlympicNP ...it is absolutely necessary to hike along those large rivers, to touch the mosses and the lichens in the temperate rainforest, to climb above timberline on the alpine meadow in order to catch a glimpse at the Olympic glaciers… without going too fast..." Link on comment for the story.

2010 - There are those trips that make you forget everything about time and space. You begin to live at a different pace — closer to what’s truly fundamental: eating, sleeping, staying warm… and in my case, walking. Link in comment for the story. #HallOfMosses #NatureImmersion #SlowTravel

I can’t get enough of that view, especially when heavy dark clouds sweep over Mont Blanc at day’s end, revealing the jagged Aiguilles de Chamonix. What a mood! #AiguillesDeChamonix #MontBlancMassif #MountainMood #CloudDrama #AlpinePhotography #BlackAndWhitePhotography

Moody light over Aiguille Verte. This giant summit of the Mont Blanc massif was shy that day, but it offered a perfect chance to showcase the iconic Grand Dru and the dramatic glaciers. #AiguilleVerte #MontBlancMassif #GrandDru #AlpinePhotography #MountainMood #BlackAndWhitePhotography

Moody light over Val d'arpmtte . The Aiguilles Dorées and Aiguille du Tour were sometimes showing , most of the time remaining shy and hidden. I just love those conditions. #ValdArpette #MountainMood #Alpinelight #Naturephotography #CloudDrama #SwissAlps #Alps

As the evening settles, the mist rises, wrapping the hills in silence. A peaceful moment in the Swiss Alps. #SwissAlps #EveningLight #MistyMountains #BlackAndWhitePhotography #LandscapeLovers

Hiking in fall feels like wandering through enchanted woods. Every step stirs the giant leaf mattress beneath, and suddenly — you're a child again. #AutumnVibes #ForestWalk #FallColors #NaturePhotography #MagicWoods #JuraMountains

Autumn’s soft light is perfect for revealing those incredible colours. It brings the warmth of the season — and a touch of magic to the forest. #AutumnVibes #NaturePhotography #GoldenHour #FallColors #VisualPoetry #JuraMountains

Autumn and its show. Colors everywhere in Jura, each tree choosing its own palette, especially when the light softens and lets the forest speak. #autumnvibes #juramountains #naturephotography #Fallcolors #visualpoetry #slowliving

Above the clouds during an inversion — warmer, sunnier, and the landscape kept changing. Clouds played with the trees, colours shifted with the light, and I could have stayed for hours watching the show. #Inversion #Mountains #LandscapePhotography #Alps #NaturePhotography #GoldenLight

A foggy morning when everything felt unreal and questions became simple. Are the trees close or distant? Will the sun win the battle today? Stay and watch, or climb through the clouds to find the light above ? #fog #lake #naturephotography #switzerland #calm #LandscapePhotography #FogPortraits

At the beginning of autumn, I reached one of my favorite summits in my area — a true belvedere over the valley. The weather was just the way I like it: moody skies, passing rain, and a few rays of sun bringing life to the landscape. #mountains #landscapephotography #alps #switzerland #moodylight

Clouds were constantly shifting — getting thinner or thicker, changing the mood, revealing colours or hiding them again. I only had to adjust the settings and let nature decide what it wanted to show. #Autumn #Fog #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #SwissAlps #Minimalism #MoodyNature

Clouds were at the level of the lake — just a thin layer, enough to let the blue of the sky shine through, yet dense enough to hold the mystery of autumn. And of course, the colours… #Autumn #FoggyMorning #LakeView #NaturePhotography #Minimalism #SwissAlps #LandscapePhotography

Fall is my favourite season for so many reasons, one being the incredible moods one can find just by venturing outside. The light is different, fog and clouds are easy to find, and of course the colours are stunning and mesmerising. #Autumn #FallVibes #FoggyMorning #NaturePhotography #Landscape

After the snowstorm, two years ago. I wasn’t out to take photos, but I had a camera in my backpack — just in case. Then suddenly, the clouds dropped below me, the sky cleared, and a single lenticular cloud drifted above Mont Blanc. #MontBlanc #FrenchAlps #Alps #LandscapePhotography

Blue hour over Mont Blanc. Deep winter — the cold settles in, the air perfectly still. Time to crawl into the sleeping bag and feel that first wave of warmth after the chill. No tent, just a bivy bag. #MontBlanc #WinterMountains #BlueHour #AlpinePhotography #LandscapePhotography #MountainPhotography

Mont Blanc, French Alps. Winter is not far. Time for cold bivouacs and quiet mornings filled with color. No need to stay up late or wake up before dawn: the glow lasts longer. Clear skies, sharp contrasts, snow underfoot… and all the memories that come with it. #WinterMountains #LandscapePhotography

Away from the main trails, the sequoias are still immense and humbling. Back in 2009, we wandered through these quiet woods, feeling small among the giants. The exposure might not be perfect, but this remains one of my favorite photos — a simple, candid moment that just happened.

Still summer 2009. 10,000 miles across the western US in just seven weeks — a wild mix of discovery, climbing, hiking… and photography. Most of the pictures weren’t that great, but this road trip gave me the spark. A camera in hand, a car, and a tent — it was the perfect starting point. #photography

Using photography from the Dolomites in Italy is a great way to decorate your space. .#Buyintoart #homedecor #homedecorating #interiordecorating #wallart #photography #art #aYearforArt #italy #Dolomites #travel #artwork #photograpy #photo #vacation buff.ly/4ePLrJL

2009. My second US road trip — from Houston to Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. Stops along the way included Meteor Crater in Arizona before reaching California’s granite walls and sunsets. A journey across deserts and mountains. #RoadTrip #SierraNevada #Yosemite #MeteorCrater #LandscapePhotography
