This shot was taken on an incredibly windy, cold evening after work. I was headed home over Coleman Valley and pulled over and got stuck in the mud. So while waiting for a tow truck I hiked up a hill and found a nice viewpoint. Luckily it took the tow truck a while so I was there for the perfect moment just after sundown to get that incredible golden light in the shot!

It was raining all day but I decided to go out shooting... This kind of weather usually creates beautiful lighting conditions when the Sun is setting. I was very lucky because it stopped raining just about five minutes before this shot was taken.

I shot this during a recent 15,000 km drive across the United States. It was taken just off I-84 in the hills above Pendleton, Oregon.

The beach of Milos on Lefkada is only accessible by boat or a 20-minute hike over a mountain. This means you can enjoy the sunset all by yourself.

Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, California. This is a popular spot for photographers during the winter. I counted thirteen tripods at sunset.

Stansbury Island is the second largest island in the Great Salt Lake. The heavy pollution in the Salt Lake Valley is responsible for the spectacular sunsets. During the winter Salt Lake City is frequently ranked the most polluted city in the U.S.

After a 12-hour drive we got this amazing view as a reward. The landscape around Geiranger is simply stunning. If you're planning a trip to Norway, this is the place to go.
