The second‑biggest desert city in the world, Lima sits on the Pacific coast, snug between the ocean and the Andes.
To the east, the mountains rise abruptly, often offering stunning sunsets to those adventurous enough to climb those dusty hills.

Thank you so much Ronald ! 🙏😉

View from a hill overlooking Lima at sunset. A large wooden cross stands in the foreground on rocky ground. Below, the city spreads out in dense layers of buildings. On the left, a dividing wall separates a wealthy neighborhood from a poorer one. Warm orange and pink light fills the sky, contrasting with the urban landscape and highlighting the city’s inequalities.

Above Lima.
On the left, the wall of shame separates the posh suburb from the slum.
This cross offers the curious wanderer an incredible sunset and a stunning view over the city’s contrasts and inequalities.

End of the day over Lima. Warm sunlight slowly fades and turns this vast city into a cyberpunk maze of light, revealing the neblina, those thick clouds trapped between ocean and land.

Malecón de Lima. Just a thin line between the vast Pacific Ocean and Peru’s largest city. At night, both sides reveal their own contrasts and rhythms: calm and darkness over the water, vivid and restless on the land.

Stunning scene ! Great job !

Above Lima, on the first hills before the real Andes, the sun slowly dives into the Pacific Ocean. The city below remains vivid, its lights awakening as the day is far from over for most.

Iconic pier of the Malecón de Miraflores, La Rosa Náutica brings together so many layers of Lima’s life: fishermen, 24/7 surfers, people strolling slowly, and joggers tracing the coastline. A place where the gigantic city meets the Pacific Ocean.

Lima Centro Histórico. So many wonderful buildings offering both a deep cultural and historical experience, and incredible views of the surrounding hills from the tops of old churches. This modern daily life unfolding in the middle of colonial architecture creates a fascinating contrast.

Seagulls line up neatly, staring at the Pacific Ocean. Lima, an aesthetic and fascinating chaos of colors, traffic, markets, desert dust, history, and culture. You either love it or hate it.

Thanks a lot Christoph! I have to admit that I prefer more snow and more light when skiing… but the photographer in me definitely enjoy those conditions a lot! 🙏😊

That day felt unusual — I was moving between two heavy layers of clouds.
The soft, filtered light gave the place a mysterious mood, transforming those modest mountains into something from a child’s fantasy tale.

End of the day.
I love when the light begins to fade in the mountains,
when the sun slips behind jagged summits or sparse clouds.
And when a few skiers know it’s the perfect moment to be out there.

Shiny stars and remote mountains,
A show to enjoy in silence
Despite the bite of the cold
Amazing Cordillera Huayhuash.

Not far from Lima,
where city lights usually blur the night sky.
But the Milky Way was incredible,
a clear sky,
and stars shining like never before.

Last light warms the high summits.
The remote Cordillera Huayhuash slowly sinks into the dark,
pushing us toward our tent and sleeping bags.
It’s already cold in the valley.

The day is gone.
A cold night settles.
The Moon shares its light,
before the Northern Lights take over.

Merry Christmas !!!

Boats rest.
Mountains wait.
The dark night is long,

Winter holds everything still.
The river slows.
Except the sky.

Thanks ! 🙏 ah larches are incredible in this area of the Alps, sometimes not far from glaciers like on this pic !

Thanks a lot ! 🙏 I got very lucky with this shot and it was 100 % random as I was driving down on a dirt road and got stuck for a while because of the sheep… I used that time to shoot around as the light and the subject were great !

Dreamy and simply beautiful! Great shot ! 👏👏👏

The forest waits in silence,
until the sun finally arrives.

Autumn means shorter days.
That last light in the mountains always comes at a low angle, changing the landscape dramatically.
