Blue Hills, Mount Washington, New Hampshire, USA
As part of many sunsets, just before the red colors start to show, there is a delicate white light that appears. I was staying at the Mount Washington Resort and walking around the lovely hills each day. I was lucky because this scene was at the boundaries of the hotel itself. I was coming from […]
Ventura Sunrise, California, USA
On winter mornings, the sun rises directly over the rugged silhouette of the Santa Monica Mountains, casting its first golden light across the Ventura, California coastline. As the sky comes alive with color, early morning surfers pause between sets, quietly taking in the beauty of the new day before paddling back into the waves. I […]
Sunrise Over Pieniny Mountains, Poland
This photo shows the sunrise in the Polish Pieniny Mountains. It had been snowing heavily for the previous few days. However, the weather forecast predicted a short “weather window” that morning, so I decided to go to the mountains with my camera. The sun, being between the cloud base and the horizon, created an interesting, […]
The West Wakes Up, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA
Summer mornings after rain in the Teton Valley bring highly photographic patterns of fog. This morning was no exception. A clear eastern horizon allowed the first light to illuminate the iconic peaks, while the warming air fostered just the right amount of fog to decorate the foreground.
Foggy Sunrise, Teton Valley, Wyoming, USA
Late afternoon rains in the Teton Valley often translate to cinematic fog the next morning. So I set out to position myself among the conditions I love to work with. Having lost track of time (and the corresponding sunrise), I trucked along a remote two-rut road. As I rolled forward, a dim, warm light bled […]
Sunset At Boot Arch, Eastern Sierra, Alabama Hills, Lone Pine, California, USA
Each summer, we return to the Alabama Hills in California’s Eastern Sierra to photograph the Milky Way and the Perseid meteor shower. The area’s iconic granite boulders and dramatic rock formations provide the perfect foreground, so arriving early is essential to scout compositions and prepare for the night ahead. As we waited for darkness to […]
Dolomites Sunset, Misurina, Belluno, Italy
When you look towards Cadini and on your shoulder, there is an epic sunset!
Edge Of Stillness, Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Maine, USA
Visiting Acadia National Park for the first time with my service dog, Diesel, was an unforgettable experience. We stopped at Thunder Hole, hoping to hear the famous roar created by the crashing Atlantic waves. Instead, we were greeted by something just as remarkable—a breathtaking sunset stretching across the calm sea, offering a rare moment of […]
Mt Ngauruhoe Sunset, Scoria Flats, Tongariro National Park, North Island, New Zealand
The picture was taken on a local camera club outing a few years back. I had just arrived at the location. The sun had set on the western horizon. The sky was absolutely clear. A beautiful Belt of Venus formed on the eastern horizon behind the peak on a cold but calm evening. I frantically […]
Finnish Belt Of Venus, Riisitunturi National Park, Near Posio Lapland, Finland
It was bitterly cold (-35 degrees C) when I and three friends hiked up to the top of a hill in this stunning national park in eastern Finland in January 2026. A breeze was blowing, causing the trees to move a bit and some snow to fall. I was keen to capture some depth of […]
