Light Over Lake Wanaka, New Zealand
This spectacular view over Lake Wanaka, New Zealand, is seen from Coromandel Peak: private land on Mount Roy, a 1,578m/5,177ft peak between the town of Wanaka and Glendhu Bay.

Sierra Mountain Lake, Eastern Sierra Mountains, CA, USA
A cold morning in October. I was well-positioned before sunrise. I patiently awaited, and I wasn’t disappointed.
Alamogordo Sunset, White Sands National Park, New Mexico, USA
The endless dunes at White Sands National Park, New Mexico, stretch to the horizon, their brilliant white gypsum reflecting every subtle change in the sky. A steady 30-mile-per-hour wind swept across the dunes, sending ribbons of fine white sand racing over the surface. Sand stung our faces, found its way into every pocket of our […]
Colorful Sunset, El Canelo Beach, Algarrobo, Valparaiso Region, Chile
I took this picture on the Central Coast of Chile, more precisely at El Canelo Beach, which belongs to the Valparaíso Region. This was during a winter afternoon when clouds threatened to make the end of the day worse than expected. Fortunately, the sunset brought amazing light and colors that, in Harry’s words, really made […]

Factory On Fire, Factory Butte, Torrey, Utah, USA
I was so blown away by the Utah Badlands area that I came back out for more. This was captured during the first light of sunrise using my Mavic 4 Pro.
Devil’s Well Sunset, Wawaloli Beach, Kailua, Hawaii, USA
The west coast of Hawaii Island (the Big Island) is famous for beautiful sunsets and even frequent views of the “Green Flash.” The area between the cities of Kailua and Kawaihae is known as South Kohala and is heavily covered with lava, as a result of numerous major flows from the Mauna Loa volcano over […]
Sapphire And Stars, Trout Lake, Washington, USA
Trout Lake, Washington: An idyllic little gem in Southern Washington, which for some reason I have always just had great timing with, especially at dusk or dawn. This morning, like most mornings here if you come during Spring or late Autumn, was very cold and extremely still. It was the end of October, and the […]
