Life is not about how far you travel, it is about what you discover…
From an advertisement
There is truth in this statement, ad or not. Ready to start your discovery?
Why landscape photography?
You could pose the question...
If you already have an answer, what is it?
These are my thoughts on the subject.
You can find and see the beauty everywhere, but the beauty of nature is the most immediate one. It is also the most universal, but not always the most obvious.

“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
