Last week I drove down to the Sexten Dolomites to have a look at the Drei Zinnen. I stayed up at the Drei Zinnen hut for three nights and wandered around looking for photographs that might be included in my upcoming exhibition. I took this evening panorama looking across towards the north face of the Drei Zinnen as a weather front broke up and moved away.

Last Friday I went down to the Rieserferner Mountains in South Tirol, Italy. It´s a wonderful area with some good peaks and beautiful valleys. Early on Saturday morning, the sun was just peeping over a mountain ridge and back lighting this tree.

I´ve just received the pdf proof for the forthcoming book, “Travel, Modernism and Modernity” written by Dr. Robert Burden. I´m very pleased about this because not only did I provided the main cover photograph (a Tuscany Landscape) but also did the picture search for the book´s subjects (Joseph Conrad, E.M. Forster, D.H, Lawrence, Edith Wharton and Henry James) and the photo montage. The book, published by Ashgate Publishing Limited, in the USA, will be appearing soon.

I´ve just got back from a few days in the Fanes-Sennes-Prags National Park in the Dolomites. The weather was not bad, with blue skies but a freezingly cold and blustery wind. Unfortunately there´s not much snow on the souther side of the Alps which was bad for the ski-mountaineers, but I got along better with my snow-shoes. I took this shot near the Fanes hut the night before last. It was a cold, starry night but the wind made it rather unpleasant to stand around for long – which is the what one has to do with night time photography. The wind game in great gusts which I fortunately could hear coming a way away which meant I could try and get the exposures in before it hit – sometimes without success, one very strong gust blew my camera and tripod over, I just caught it before it hit the snow!

Another photograph taken in Venice. I can understand why the place is so loved by both photographers and painters – there is a shot to be had on nearly every corner.
