Cathedrals Of The Desert, Capitol Reef National Park, Utah, USA
In Cathedrals of the Desert, I sought to capture the quiet grandeur of Capitol Reef National Park’s landscape. The monumental sandstone formations of the Temples of the Moon & Sun rise from the earth like ancient temples, their striated faces recording millions of years of geologic memory. Against the vast, open sky, these natural cathedrals […]
Mt Wilson In Autumn, Wilson Mesa, San Juan Mountains, Colorado, USA
In 2020, my wife and I had planned to visit New Mexico in the fall to see the national parks and other scenic areas, and to attend the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. That fell apart with Covid. In 2022, we made it to New Mexico in the spring, but that did not cover the balloons. We […]
Vast Landscape, Moonscape Overlook, Utah, USA
The stark, lunar landscape stretched to the horizon, showcasing an endless array of eroded valleys and plateaus. This scene captured the vastness of the area with exceptional clarity. The expansive, undulating rock formations gradually gave way to pastel plains illuminated by the warm light of the setting sun. The cool, graphite ground contrasted beautifully with […]
Wooden Cabins And Meadows, Alpe di Siusi, Dolomites, Italy
Late in the day, light gathered across the open meadows of Alpe di Siusi in the Dolomites. A few small wooden cabins glowed faintly against the vast backdrop of the massive cliffs, above a dark line of spruce and larch that bordered the valley.
Grand Canyon Moonrise, Coconino County, Arizona, USA
On the 3rd day of an 11-day trip with friends, touring and photographing the national park. In the southwest USA, we visited the Grand Canyon. The drive from Sedona was very interesting. The varied topographies along Route 89A were amazing. I have never seen so much change in a landscape in just a 2.5-hour trip. […]
Mighty Karakoram Mountain Range, Ladakh, India
Several mighty mountain ranges crisscross the Indian state of Ladakh. One of them is the Karakoram, which extends in India, Pakistan, China, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. It is the home of the second-highest peak, K2, with a towering height of 8,611 meters (28,251 feet). Karakoram, in Turkic, means black gravel. The mountain’s unmistakable blackness reflects this. […]
Majestic Vestrahorn Panorama, Hohn, Stokksnes Peninsula, Iceland
If there’s one place where you could spend a full day, or even two, photographing, it would be Vestrahorn in Iceland. Unfortunately, I only had one evening there. This location was highly anticipated during our 12-day ring road tour. In honesty, almost every stop along the ring road offers at least half a dozen photography […]
Gasadalur Village Waterfall, Faroe Islands
Gasadalur, a village located above an ocean-side waterfall, is one of the most iconic scenes in the Faroe Islands. In recent years, this location has gained popularity among tourists, largely due to social media. I visited the Faroe Islands in October to avoid the peak tourist season and to see the landscape transform from summer […]
Red Roof House Below the Ridge, Picos de Europa, Spain
I came across this scene during a quiet afternoon walk. The small red-roofed house stood alone under the heavy clouds, dwarfed by the rising slopes behind it. There was nothing unusual about the moment, yet the scale between the man-made and the natural felt absolute.
West Mitten Butte, Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Arizona, USA
My friends and I took an eleven-day trip through the southwestern USA to tour and photograph various national, state, and Navajo parks. The Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park was a must-see, and it certainly did not disappoint. Touring this park involves driving on a ring road that winds through the valley. The road is unpaved […]
