Close to the village of Arsha in the Kazbegi region lies the Arsha Waterfall, about five kilometers from Stepantsminda Kazbegi. The hike to the waterfall is considered easy and typically takes three to four hours. The trail is unpaved but well-trodden, surrounded by lush meadows, and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The waterfall is one of the lesser-known natural attractions in the area, contributing to its untouched and serene atmosphere. A bit further along is the Toti Waterfall, accessible via a steep trail that passes above the Arsha Waterfall. This waterfall offers spectacular panoramic views and is an ideal spot for a picnic. Visitors can enjoy the tranquility, the breathtaking nature, and even take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear water. For adventure seekers, it's possible to continue the hike to the nearby Gergeti Glacier, making the journey a full-day excursion.
The hike to Toti Waterfall leads through a rugged mountain landscape with breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks and deep valleys. It offers a spectacular view of the imposing Mount Shino, located in the majestic Georgian Caucasus. From this vantage point, a breathtaking panorama of deep valleys, steep rock faces and snow-capped peaks unfolds. The bright blue sky and the sunlight falling over the mountains give the landscape an almost magical atmosphere. Mount Shino is a mountain with an altitude of 4,047 meters above sea level and is one of many impressive peaks in this region and is a beautiful backdrop for adventurous hikers and nature lovers. The valley below, with winding roads and scattered villages, perfectly contrasts the grandeur of nature with human settlements. This area is especially popular with hikers, photographers and adventurers who want to experience the untouched beauty of the Caucasus
Nabij het dorp Arsha in de Kazbek regio, ligt de Arsha-waterval, op ongeveer vijf kilometer van Stepantsminda Kazbegi. De wandeling naar de waterval wordt als eenvoudig beschouwd en duurt doorgaans drie tot vier uur. Het pad is ongebaand maar goed begaanbaar, omringd door weelderige weiden en biedt prachtige uitzichten op de omliggende bergen. De waterval is een van de minder bekende natuurlijke attracties in het gebied, wat bijdraagt aan de ongerepte en serene sfeer. Nog iets verder ligt de Toti-waterval, bereikbaar via een steil pad dat bovenlangs de Arsha-waterval loopt. De wandeling naar de Toti-waterval voert door een ruig berglandschap met adembenemende uitzichten op besneeuwde bergtoppen en diepe valleien. Het pad slingert langs steile hellingen en rotsachtige paden, omringd door droge graslanden en verspreide struiken. De Toti-waterval biedt een spectaculair uitzicht op de imposante Mount Shino, gelegen in de majestueuze Georgische Kaukasus. Mount Shino is een berg met een hoogte van 4.047 meter boven zeeniveau. Vanaf dit uitkijkpunt ontvouwt zich een adembenemend panorama van diepe valleien, steile rotswanden en besneeuwde bergtoppen. De helderblauwe lucht en het zonlicht dat over de bergen valt, geven het landschap een bijna magische sfeer. Mount Shino is één van de vele indrukwekkende pieken in deze regio en vormt een prachtig decor voor avontuurlijke wandelaars en natuurliefhebbers. De vallei beneden, met kronkelende wegen en verspreide dorpjes, laat de grootsheid van de natuur perfect contrasteren met menselijke nederzettingen. Elk seizoen brengt een andere charme: in de herfst kleuren de bossen goud, terwijl de winter de bergtoppen in een dikke laag sneeuw hult.

We were leaving Carlsbad Caverns National Park and we seen these "mountain goats" way off and up on the side of the mountain. It was really cool. Lots of little "kids" (baby goats) running around and playing.

Spending a day with fellow photographers is always an enriching experience—sharing techniques, exchanging ideas, and capturing moments through different perspectives. The Folly Beach Pier at sunrise set the perfect stage for creativity and camaraderie. As the first light of day stretched across the sand, our group gathered, each framing their own interpretation of the pier’s beauty.
Folly Beach Pier, an iconic landmark of Folly Beach, South Carolina, extends gracefully into the Atlantic, offering stunning views and a peaceful escape. Whether capturing the sunburst through its wooden beams, the endless reflections in the wet sand, or the rhythmic waves below, every shot tells a story. Beyond the photography, the day was about connection—bonding over a shared passion, learning from one another, and simply enjoying the beauty of the Lowcountry. It’s days like this that remind us why we love what we do.
