It is being away from home and exploring the natural world that makes me passionate. I have got a penchant for scenes of water that are full of mood, tone and feeling... With my recent photo adventure in Greenland where I witnessed the incredible iceberg beauties, I would like to share my photos with the world, in order to arouse a common consciousness for the protection of the natural world. Every coastal area in the world has been impacted consequentially. May the natural world stay long an untouched national park!

Story

About the photos:

- Photos: “Diamond Spree” (01 & 06), "Flying Water" :

Disappointed with the first tries as things did not fall into place as imagined, I realized that it was quite tricky to freeze the moment because the sea waves surging towards me, were either too wild or too weak and I had to be ready to run away, at the same time the first lights had already been dappling through the clouds… Luckily, after several tries, just before the sun was about to be too sharp, this dynamic scene of water trails was successfully captured…

- Photo: “The Morning Mirage" :
I must admit that I am fond of foggy and misty atmosphere…watching from afar, the mist appears faintly discernable. I run animatedly towards this fairyland and let the mist curling up around me, it seems as if I were wondering in a dream. I suddenly do not know where to go, the loneliness starts to conquer me…Until a beam of sunlight glazes on the stack of mist, immediately, the mist rising up in the backlight becomes magical. Bathed in the warm and gold lights, unreal and dreamlike, the mist is dazzling… occasionally when a breeze joins this performance of chord, the mist starts to allure, straggling up through the trees…again, I look around me, the blur areas are becoming clear and the nearby surrounding turns to be bustling … Deeply enchanted with the familiar scene, I realise that do not feel alone anymore …

- Photo: "Last Light at Jokulsarlon Lake":
Weather conditions were very unpredictable in the mountain areas…As soon as I found a scene which was full of mood, tone and feeling, a foreground which was worthy of attention, I simply set up my tripod and waited for the lights, wishing that the sunlight could bath the clouds and water with some dramatic colour…as far as the first experimental tries showed nicely as imagined, I then determined to glue to the place until the shot with all the visual splendour appeared on my screen… it was an exhilarating moment…
