Arch Cape Sunset, Oregon Coast, USA
We came to Oregon to visit our kids in Portland, but the coast has a way of calling you farther. Just south of Haystack Rock, at Arch Cape, the evening light began to soften, and the tide moved in slow rhythm against the sea stacks. As the sun slipped toward the horizon, I wandered down […]
Toroweap Fire, Grand Canyon, Arizona
On my second visit to Toroweap—the first being more of a scouting mission and a getaway from the hustle and bustle, and less about photography—I made this image at my final sunset. I spent the following hours catching many large scorpions, to the disgust of nearby campers. Learning that massive scorpions are lurking just feet […]
Amongst The Clouds, Giau Pass, Dolomites, Italy
It was cloudy all morning. Then, all of a sudden, a brief shaft of light struck the Dolomites for a few seconds, and the landscape changed rapidly, revealing the full beauty of those mountains.
Ice Pile At Dusk, Lake Superior, Minnesota, USA
A calm, subtle, uncontrollable force is displayed along Lake Superior—the sounds of ice being piled up along the shoreline. I spent a few days trying to capture this raw natural beauty, and this particular evening had to be the best day to capture its beauty. When I came upon this particular area, I was blown […]
Milky Way And Shooting Star, Olmsted Point, Yosemite, CA, USA
I planned an early fall visit to Yosemite. I chose a moonless night and aimed to photograph the Milky Way. The best view would be from Olmsted Point. PhotoPills gave me the timing, so I planned the trip for the weekend. Arriving at Yosemite on Friday, I noted that the road to Olmsted Point was […]
Misty Beach, Galle Near Albufeira, Portugal
Morning walk along the beach at Galle on the route to Armação de Pera. It was a very misty and foggy morning, although the sun was trying to break through. The rocks and beach were being washed by the tide, creating interesting patterns and shapes throughout, and the Atlantic was producing nice waves.
Multnomah Falls, Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, USA
Multnomah Falls had long been on my list of must-photograph locations for one of my gigapixel wall mural photos. We specifically planned our Fall 2025 RV tour of the Pacific Northwest to pass by this location. The weekend we arrived, rain was predicted for all three days I had scheduled to be in the area. […]
Blue Hour, Lake Serene, Adirondack Mountains, New York, USA
The Adirondack Mountains are my spiritual home, a place I return to whenever I can. Each July 4, my big, extended family gathers here to celebrate. That evening, our RV was parked at a local campground overlooking this lake. As the air cooled, fog began to lift from the warmer water, creating a quiet inversion […]
Bull Dog Cliffs Panorama, Phoenix, Arizona, USA
I had been to this location multiple times before, and I waited until there were clouds in the sky to make the drive. In Phoenix, there is plenty of sunshine, and at this location you have to be lucky for the sunset light to bring out the color of the rocks and the clouds. I […]
Mount Teide Sunset, Teide National Park, Tenerife, Spain
After photographing a beautiful sunset in Teide National Park, I lingered a while longer. I turned back toward Mount Teide, now painted in soft, beautiful tones of reflected light.
