End of the World

Hundreds of years ago, this was considered the end of the world. Cape St. Vincent, the southwesternmost point of Portugal and of mainland Europe. Behind the setting sun, on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, would be Virginia Beach in the US. Besides the spectacular scenery round the lighthouse, first constructed in 1520 and raising up 250 ft from the sea, it is the play of the light that is truly magic at this special place.

Dry Falls

This week I completed a five-day expedition in western North Carolina to photograph waterfalls and fall foliage.  This post features Dry Falls near Highlands, NC.  Its name comes from the ability for visitors to walk behind the waterfall, though the waterfall mist will keep you constantly clearing your lens.  Often fall foliage is equally impactful in monochrome!
