- I actually didn't expect I would be photographing the Aurora Borealis during my trip to Iceland. I've hoped to see a glimpse of the Northern Lights once in my life. While being on the trip the odds became more and more favorable. So I decided to stay up late to watch the sky all night hoping there would be some activity. I already set up the photographic gear just in case. All of a sudden I saw some activity and it started to become very big! The feeling I got was like I was in a fairytale, so unreal and magical was this moment to me. I even forgot to take photographs for a moment.

- Nothing seems more powerful or stunning than a lion emerging from the darkness. This lion barely acknowledged our presence, but we held our breath as he strode quietly through the light of our torch.

- I know sunsets are a cliche, but I love this picture, which is not color corrected. The colors that night was magical stretching from deep purple to pink, reflected in the lake of Vänern, the third larges lake in Europe.

- It's training day for these two eleven day old Sandhill Colts. Mom was showing them how to dig for insects. A great experience.

- Indigenous Australians in the Outback have a proud tradition of expert Horsemanship. Every Year, around Sept, there is a series of Race Weekends held at various remote Homelands or Communities attracting Riders and Horses from all over Central Australia. Two types of horses compete. Stock Horses, of which many are caught as wild Brumbies weeks before and broken in for the event, and Race Horses. The race horses are purchased in Alice Springs. This image captures a young rider pulling up a Thoroughbred after a win at the Ltyentye Apurte (Santa Teresa) Bush races 100km East of Alice Springs.
