Banryū-tei — The garden of the coiling dragon At Kongōbu-ji, Kōyasan, Japan. In places like this, I am reminded of the value of stillness. #Japan #Koyasan #Stillness #JapaneseGardens #ZenGarden #SacredPlaces #InnerPeace

Daimon. The traditional gateway to Koyasan and for centuries, the beginning of many pilgrimages. Built in 1705 and standing 25.1 meters (82 ft) tall, it still welcomes visitors to the sacred mountain today. Me in one of the photos for scale. #Japan #Koyasan #Wakayama #Daimon #SacredPlaces #RedWed

A Swedish summer evening so still and soft it feels like nature holds its breath. #SwedishSummer #Reflections #SoftLight #Stillness #QuietMoments

Rauðibotn Rauðibotn is a volcanic crater within the Fjallabak nature reserve. You can only reach it after a hour walk. It＇s colours are shining beautifully in the Icelandic highlands. #Iceland #Landscape #Landscapes #Landscapephotography #DJI #Photography #Highland #Aerial #Rauðibotn

A truly beautiful Swedish early summer evening at Ulkeröd Farm on the west coast. Surrounded by stillness, birdsong, and the fresh green glow of nature. Sometimes, it's the simplest moments that fill the heart the most. 🌿 #Sweden #WestCoast #EarlySummer #FreshGreen #SimpleMoments

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes" - Marcel Proust - The area around Langisjór, Iceland #Iceland #Highlands #Langisjor #Landscape #MountainMonday #Wanderlust #NewEyes

The forest asked for nothing, so I stayed. ❤️💔 #nature #forest #photography

Wildlife Wednesday #WildlifeWednesday "Hummmmmmmmm" This is of a male Broad-tailed hummingbird. I was in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies. They are amazing to watch fly around and hover. #Hummingbird #BirdsInFlight #Photography #EastCoastKin

Fagrifoss, Iceland 🌿 #WaterfallWednesday Such a beautiful place…. serene, majestic and simply unforgettable. #Iceland #Highlands #Fagrifoss #Waterfalls

Another Connecticut spring waterfall scene just downstream from the one I shared yesterday. While all of the trees had not yet leafed out, the moss, hemlocks, and mountain laurel lent green color to the scene. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #connecticut

Few places feel as good as Austria’s soft, summer-green hills. A quiet calm just settles in your body when you’re surrounded by all that green. 🌿 I’ll be back late this summer for long, winding hikes and, of course, some delicious Kaiserschmarrn. #Austria #Tirol #GreenAlps #Wanderlust #GreenSat

“The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.” - Ferdinand Foch. #photography #marseille #sunrise

I wake up to this view every morning, though I don’t always see it. A gentle reminder to notice the beauty in simple things, especially on the days I forget. “There is grace in softness, strength in calm, and beauty in the everyday.” 🌿 — Seen on a tote bag in Tokyo. #ShowHeart #EverydayBeauty

At Katsuoji, thousands of tiny darumas rest among moss and stone like guardians of hope. Visitors leave them with wishes and dreams. They symbolize perseverance, the quiet strength to keep going. Here, resilience feels present in the air, not just seen. #Japan #Katsuoji #Daruma #Strength #RedWed

"Ooops I almost forgot.... to look at the sky, feel the sun on my skin, listen to the birds and feel the grass beneath my feet"🌿 - Unknown - #AfterTheRain #Rainbow #SmallNoticings #QuietMoments

Came across this during my morning jog, it really turned my Sunday into a #Stunday😯 The size of half a football, growing on a large oak tree. Honestly, it looked as if someone had tucked a sun-yellow omelette into the trunk.😆 A quick Google search told me it´s sulphur shelf.🤔 #Mushroom #Fungus

Endless landscapes of velvet-soft, lush green moss and black lava sand. I could stand there for hours, simply taking in the view, feeling deeply grateful, peaceful and quietly in awe. It's like a world that somehow doesn’t quite feel real. #Iceland #Highlands #GreenMoss #BlackSand #GreenSat #Photo

“Colours are the smiles of nature.” - Leigh Hunt. #photography

There are moments when the world feels quiet again. Not because life suddenly changes, but because something inside you softens. The light shifts gently, your mind follows more calmly, and for a moment, everything feels a little easier again. #Iceland #Westfjords #SoftLight #QuietMoments #Nature

Different landscapes, same feeling - some places stay with you quietly, always. Westendorf in Tirol, Austria #Austria #Tirol #ForestFriday #Outdoors #Mountains #Wanderlust #Stillness #Silence

Took this one in February 2025, insane what colors nature can deliver. #nature #landscape #photography #sunrise

One turn around a corner, and the city falls silent. A small shrine tucked between concrete and glass, like a hidden oasis in the middle of Osaka. I’m filled with that soft, relieving feeling of stepping out of the rush and into stillness. #Japan #Osaka #GoryoJinja #Shrine #Stillness #RedWed

A waterfall photographer might be the only person crazy enough to start on a trail in a downpour. Last Saturday, I hiked in the rain to see some new-to-me falls. Here, lush green moss was complemented by deep red fallen leaves. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall

Some places you visit and never really leave. They stay with you, quietly. 🌿 #Iceland #Snaefellsnes #Waterfalls #GreenLandscape #LandscapePhotography #Stillness #Stunday

Might have accidentally taken my new favorite photo today. 😉😊 #wildlife #nature #photography #deer #sunrise #morning

Just the water, the movement, the sound, the scent, the light – and that soft, quiet happiness that only nature seems to know how to give. Sometimes this is all we need. #Iceland #Eastfjords #Dynjandi #Nature #Waterfall #WaterfallWednesday #Happiness #Photography

Surrounded by endless beautiful hanging orchids and mirrors at teamLab Planets Tokyo. They are constantly in motion, making you feel 🎶 Upside down 🎶 #Japan #Tokyo #TeamLabsPlanet #Orchids #GreenSat #ForestFriday #Travel

With Sanjūn‑tō before me and Nachi no Taki rising 133 meters behind it, this beautiful place felt quietly special. Nachi Falls is Japan’s highest waterfall, and yes…of course I drank from the sacred water, hoping to secure a long life. #Japan #NachiFalls #RedPagoda #WaterfallWednesday #Travel

At Hakusan Jinja in Niigata, young performers bring tradition to life through taiko drumming. It's more than the wonderful sound. It’s rhythm, precision and energy in perfect sync, reaching everyone watching. Powerful and deeply impressive. #Japan #Niigata #HakusanJinja #TaikoDrums #Energy #Travel

Fantastic morning in the moorland! ☀️ Wishing everyone a wonderful Sunday. ✨️ #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #birds #moorland #teutoburgerwald #photography

If someone is missing a smile, give them one of yours. A small kindness can make someone bloom and turn their day into a #Stunday🌸 #Cherryblossom #Bloom #Spring #Smile #Kindness #Happiness

An old and gently weathered stone lantern at Okunoin in the mountain village of Koyasan, for a #GreenSat. A reminder that true beauty deepens and grows with the passing of years. #Japan #Koyasan #Okunoin #Moss #StoneLantern #GreenSat #Travel

Spring has returned to Sweden 🌿 Soft carpets of wood anemones are covering the ground between the trees, and buds and tiny green “mouse ears” are beginning to appear on branches. Such a beautiful time for outdoor training. #Sweden #Spring #WoodAnemones #Happiness

I appreciate all the support of my Vancouver Island work recently. Keeping with the theme, here’s another waterfall. A short hike and rope-assisted descent brought me face to face with this beauty. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #vancouverisland

The vermilion red of the torii feels like a gentle pulse through the landscape. In Shinto, this colour is believed to protect and purify, a soft boundary between the visible world and what lies beyond. #Japan #Tokyo #Shinto #Torii #Vermillion #ColorADay #RedWednesday #Travel

Surrounded by a sea of azaleas at Nezu Jinja in Tokyo today. Gently soaking in the softness and colours of it all.🌸 #Japan #Tokyo #NezuJinja #Azaleas #Softness #Colours #Torii #Travel

Tokyo nights… vibrant and alive, yet always carrying a quiet, gentle smile. #Japan #RainbowBridge #Waterfront #Skyline #Night #GentleSmile #Travel

The Kamakura Daibutsu at Kotoku-in. One for scale, one for stillness. The long ears symbolize wisdom and the ability to truly listen. A quiet reminder… to be more present, and listen with care. 🌿 #Japan #Kamakura #Kotokuin #Buddha #Stunday #Stillness #BePresent #Travel

This was my first time photographing a river flowing through a cave! Once inside, I knew I wanted to feature the backlit moss and somehow I managed this in a single exposure despite the tricky light. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #vancouverisland

Sitting on the train between Takayama and Nagoya, soaking in the most beautiful views… lush green mountains, blue-green water and a clear blue sky. Just quietly enjoying this moment. 🌿 #Japan #Hidagawa #Train #Travel

Drawn to your inner light. 🤍✨️ #nature #forest #photography #sun

Evening at Hiejinja in Takayama. No voices, no footsteps… alone with the stillness and the quiet calm. #Japan #Takayama #Hiejinja #Torii #Stillness #QuietCalm #Travel

In a quiet little corner of Yahiko Shrine, near Niigata, I found this peaceful place. The stillness slowly filled every part of me, and I felt I could have stayed there for a long, long time. #Japan #YahikoShrine #QuietCorner #Peaceful #Stillness #Moss #Travel

I just returned from spending a couple weeks on Vancouver Island and have new work to share. Of course, a lot of it is waterfalls. Here’s the first one to kick things off. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall

The modern and the traditional, side by side, as if they’ve always belonged together. Standing by the pillar for scale, I found myself reflecting on how effortlessly it all comes together here in Japan.⛩️ Yahiko Otorii, 30,2 m high #Japan #Torii #Otorii #RedGate #Travel
