Lunar lands, and environmental escape in Spain
Created on February 09, 2010 by Susan FurberOur environment is extremely precious, and whether you are a global warming advocate or cynic, there seems to be no doubt that our planet is undergoing many changes. As a result, our awareness of what is happening is being heightened every day, around the world. So as a 'landscape photographer in training' I like to take the opportunity to explore new landscapes whenever it arises and to be honest, I had never previously heard of this 'Natural Park', or in fact ever visited one before.

The gem in the Prague Castle crown, St Vitus Cathedral
Created on October 20, 2009 by Susan FurberWithin the grounds of Prague Castle, there are many opportunities to explore magnificent architecture and stunning buildings.

Instead, I decided that my mission would be to photograph the exterior and grounds. On this sunny winter's day, the fascinating architecture, changing guards ...
Hunt for Viking Gold Behind Skogafoss Waterfall in Iceland
Created on July 12, 2009 by Susan FurberThe Skogafoss (pronounced “skou.a fos”) waterfall suddenly appeared from the road as we drove through the barren but illuminated landscape of southern Iceland. At 60 metres high and 25 metres wide, it is easily visible from the road; and audible too. Due to the amount of spray that the Skogafoss waterfall produces, a single or double rainbow is often visible on sunny days. Even on an overcast winter’s day, when the sun is hiding, the misty powerful white sheets of glass are just as impressive, and make for a great waterfall photo. According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a chest filled with gold coins in a cave behind the Skogafoss waterfall. A local boy found the chest years ...
