The Sunset Show, Coulee Grou Beach, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I captured this photograph on August 9 at 8:22 PM in Montreal, at La Coulée Grou Beach. Montreal is a big city. However, I have found many places free of visual distractions that are ideal for capturing sunrises and sunsets. From experience, I know that the few minutes around sunset or sunrise can produce gorgeous […]
Cascadian Glow, Bend, Oregon, USA
A summer thunderstorm passed through the town where I live earlier in the day. As early evening progressed, weather radar and satellite imaging showed clearing to the west. This meant to me that there might be some dramatic post-storm light as the sun dipped below the Cascade Range of Central Oregon. I immediately got in […]
Arctic Light, Kvalvika Beach, Lofoten Islands, Norway
The hike to Kvalvika Beach is one of the most popular treks in the Lofoten Islands and is also considered an excellent spot for wild camping (thanks to the incredible view from the beach). A stunning golden sandy beach with crystal-clear waters, nestled between towering sheer cliffs on the Lofoten Islands in Norway, is probably […]
Bow Fiddle Rock, Portknockie, Scotland
Bow Fiddle Rock was high on my list for my second Scotland trip. When I arrived, the weather wasn’t being very cooperative, but I decided to stick it out and was eventually rewarded with a few moments of good light.
Hidden Dune Sunset, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado, USA
Cradled in a nook of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Hidden Dune rises like a perfect pyramid more than 700 feet from the valley below. The tallest dune in Great Sand Dunes National Park, the hike to get here was a grueling off-trail journey. As I began, looming storm clouds hovered over the dunes. Soon […]
Mono Lake Tufas, Northern CA, USA
I always wanted to photograph the tufas at Mono Lake. I knocked this one off my bucket list.
Morning Has Broken, Badlands National Park, South Dakota, USA
Getting out of bed early in the morning, in total darkness, is never something I get too excited about. But when you are in a place like Badlands National Park and are looking to capture an image of an amazing sunrise over this incredible landscape, you just do it. Since this was in late May, […]
Sunrise Over Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA
Sunrise over Grand Teton, as seen from the summit of Middle Teton in late August 2025. I set out for Middle Teton a little after midnight. There were several groups I ran into early on that were still coming down from their late afternoon and sunset summits, but otherwise, the trail was empty. As I […]
At The Edge Of Morning, Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Maine, USA
Long before sunrise, we made our way over the granite shoreline of Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine, arriving in the darkness to photograph one of the first places in the United States to greet the morning sun. The Atlantic Ocean stretched endlessly before us, its rhythmic waves breaking against the rugged rocks as […]
Moonrise At Sunset, Grand Canyon, Coconino County, Arizona, USA
While at Pima Point along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, waiting for the sun to set, one of the other photographers along the railing said, “Look behind us!” We all turned around to see that the moon was quietly rising in the sky, opposite the sun setting in the west. So, this was […]
