Favorite Views of the World View: Roque Nublo

Aug 112011

View from the Roque Nublo [Gran Canaria, Spain].

One of my favorite views has got to be the top of the Roque Nublo, or the “Cloudy rock”. One of the highest parts of Gran Canaria, one of the Spanish Canary islands west of the Moroccon coast, can be reached with a pleasant 45 minute hike. Just stepping onto the plain top with the two massive volcanic remnants is amazing. They still look so small but after walking the last bit you just are in awe because of their sheer size.

I hope this photo does it justice.

The Chedi Muscat

Feb 112009

Set against a backdrop of magnifice nt mountain scenery on the edge of the Arabian Sea, The Chedi Muscat is a sophisticated, chic resort located on its own private beach. Designed in the style of traditional Omani architecture, modern rooms and private villas feature dark marble floors offset by clean lines, warm lighting and white fabrics. A really spectacular hotel and a pleasure to photograph, especially at sunset. I could have spent hours happily fiddling around with my camera but as there was limited time it turned into a simple but effective general idea of the place. If you’re in the area: make sure to visit!

Port Ghalib – Marsa Alam (Red Sea, Egypt)

Port Ghalib is a newly constructed resort and marina very close to the airport of Marsa Alam in the South of the Egyption Red Sea. In 2007 and 2008 I had the opportunity to stay and photograph the immense project as it just opened its doors. Incredible to imagine that before these buildings there was only sand and rocks. The Palace Hotel has the largest manmade saltwater pool area in the world.
