This is an oldie and one of my favorites. It was my first time seeing a crow, and the typical London weather made the vibes immaculate.

A gorgeous cable car ride up to 3466m rewards you with a stunning view of Mont Blanc (Monte Bianco), the highest peak in the Alps at a whopping 4807m, and the Italian Alps surrounding it. Down below lies the tiny but charming village of Courmayeur, where the cable car departs from.

One of many sculptures that adorn the Vezio Castle in Varenna. Legend says they represent the soul of Theodelinda, the Queen of Lombards in the 7th century, who initially ordered the castle to be built and whose soul is said to wander its halls on moonless nights.

Consonno was a Lombard village for over a thousand years until, in the 1960s, a wealthy businessman bought the land, bulldozed villagers’ homes (some still occupied), and began building the “Las Vegas of Lombardy” — leveling the natural landscape for better mountain views.

The resort never took off, and construction stalled. The environmental damage caught up with it: landslides in the 1970s cut off access, closing the resort for good. It briefly became a home for the elderly before being abandoned entirely.

This incredible religious complex dedicated to St. Michael began being built in the 10th century and sits on top of a mountain overlooking the valleys near the city of Turin, in northern Italy.

I was unable to capture the views of it from further below, but it’s even more majestic.

Cool people and nice views, lots of things to like in Bergamo.

An unexpected hike rewarded my wife, my dog and I with this amazing view of Lecco and Monte Coltignone.

This basilica was built in 1227 (though the cloister in the picture was rebuilt in the 1400s), and has largely stayed the same since then.

Misty day in Colico, Italy.

The lake at night is just a soothing as it is eerie.

A very cool way to spend the afternoon, just 30min away from home. Lots of kids and dogs playing in the snow!

Downtown Gramado is proof that something can be both overrated and incredibly beautiful. Nothing beats it on a rainy winter night.

Araucárias are my favorite tree. They are charming, look very unique, and their seeds make for amazing winter food.

When I saw this lighting I really wanted to try capturing it, and I think it turned out just right 👌

(I did see real mountain goats around there, but the ones in the picture are just props)

Really proud of the lighting in this one.

One of the many incredible places surrounding Lake Como, in northern Italy.

Always wanted to take a long exposure shot like this, with the water all smooth and fluffy. Taken just downstream of the Grotte delle Busserailles near Cervinia, in Italy.
