Iceland - the land of trolls, fairies and hobbits. Breathtaking volcanic landscape, endless lava fields, high snow covered glaciers, turfed houses and churches, picturesque fishing villages and floating icebergs. The list is endless as to why every photographer should go at least once to Iceland with the camera. Iceland is so different to any other country, it will surprise you again and again.

Malta and Gozo - two islands in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Not quite Italian, not quite English, not quite North African - but a bit of all of those cultures. A buzzing mix and plenty of great photo opportunities. Elegant cities like the "Three Cities" and Valletta, the medieval Mdina and Cittadella and then again rocky and rugged coastal landscape, fascinating caves and arches and interesting salt pans.

North Wales is a region full of mystery. Historic castles like in fairy tales, mist over the lakes in the morning, purple heather, mountains, coastline, lighthouses and Celtic culture.

The Lake Maggioer is unique. One part is in Switzerland but the biggest part of the lake lies in Italy. See Stresa and its splendid hotels from a time past. Stroll through typical Italian Cannobio with its charming little alleys and get some amazing views of the hermitage Santo Caterina del Sasso. The Swiss site also has a lot to offer. The very charming village of Ascona with its colourful houses, lively Locarno, Bellinzona and the three castles and last but not least - the Valli - the valleys of Ticino where time has stood still for 100 years.

The Lake District is for a photographer a treasure chest full of photo opportunities. Colourful trees, misty mornings, fog over the lakes, moody long exposures with rocks in the water...

The beautiful fishing villages located at the Ligurian Coast in Italy are like five pearls. Colourful houses, breathtaking architecture along the steepest cliffs, small alleys, long stairs, wonderful paths with jaw dropping views over the coast. Cinque Terre is Italy at its best.

Dorset in the South West of England has some amazing coastlines to offer. The coast is called the "Jurassic Coast" because of the many fossils one can still find in the rugged beaches and cliffs. Many photo opportunities are waiting for you like the spectacular arch "Durdle Door", the old castle ruin Corfe Castle, a charming seaside resort Lyme Regis with the famous "Cobb" and the typical Dorset village of Abbotsbury with spectacular views over Chesil Beach and so much more.
