Earth Dances

The diagonals of the surf from an incoming tide complement an amazing sunset on the Olympic Coast.

Endless Beauty

Early morning alpenglow on Mt. Hood, photographed from within a patch of balsamroot and lupine in Oregon's Columbia Hills.

Spring in the Ancients

Sunbeams burst through trees of this old growth forest with cascading natural springs, as the sun rises in early spring.

Eternity

Los Cuernos del Paine peaks through low clouds illuminated by the rising sun on a foggy morning.

Rainforest Reflection

Majestic Elowah falls reflected in a small pool of water in early spring.

Fractured

A gem of the Olympic Peninsula, Rialto beach has many such sea stacks rising from its depths. One particularly photogenic spire collapsed within the last year. The remnants from its collapse are now being interred by the sea. This particular evening, an incoming tide produced beautiful cascades across its fractured remains.

Resurgence

A natural S-curve created by ice and blowing snow lead to a beautiful sunstar and colorful sky behind Shark’s Tooth, reflected in a frozen lake beneath.

While the Earth Sleeps

An unforgettable moment as the aurora borealis lit the night sky over this frozen lake in the early morning hours in Canada's far north.

The first light of day illuminates Mt. Fitz Roy on a cold, snowy morning.

Vortex

In over ten years of photographing the world's most breathtaking and wild landscapes, some moments I will never forget. This is one of them.

Transcendence

Beautiful sunet light reflects off a large lenticular cloud, illuminating the valley and river below.

Above and Beyond

Cloud streaks rendered by a long exposure as the pre-dawn light filters through the canyon walls in Arizona.

Interlude

A lenticular cloud forms over this unnamed jagged peak in the late afternoon.

Autumn Revealed

A small grove of pond cypress emerge from the morning fog just after sunrise, dressed in fall color.

Subzero

These leading lines created by freezing conditions and snowdrift just under the surface of a frozen lakeshore provide the perfect foreground to an explosive display of aurora in the sky. With wind chill, the temperature was near -15F at night.

Sundial

I was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time to witness this breathtaking sunrise over one of the most unusual landscapes in the world.

Oceanus

Dramatic light and an incoming tide produce a brief but unforrgettable moment at sunrise one summer morning.

Almost Paradise

A picturesque waterfall through a rainforest environment in a remote area of Oregon's Columbia Gorge.

Lost Souls

A unique landscape resulting from recent weather patterns, with Joshua trees rising from the desert sand dunes as the moon sets in the early evening.

Nightfall

A view through a small tufa cave at the unique formations and mountain range in the distance.

Hallowed Ground

This landscape looks more like a moonscape... an otherworldly view of sandstone formations and runoffs photographed in the early morning light.

Reason for Rainbows

A beautiful double rainbow forms in the valley of the Columbia Hills on the edge of a storm front, framed by a bloom of wildflowers.

Fierce

I’ve visited Panther Creek Falls many times over the years, but never took a photo I was happy with. This particular morning I was all alone, in awe watching the torrential flow from waterfalls surrounding me in all directions, as the above average snowpack melts in the first days of spring. I returned here a couple of days later to find the flow of the falls less than half what it was this one amazing morning.
