Approaching sunset on Kauai's Na Pali coast. As seen from near the end of the 11 mile long Kalalau trail.

In Death Valley, even in the Spring with the air only warming to 87 degrees Fahrenheit, one must pack plenty of water. This was my lesson as I found myself parched after walking 45 minutes to the middle of the sand dunes just outside of the Stovepipe Wells area with only one liter of water on me. A lesson learned the hard way. You can literally lose yourself in this vast and wondrous landscape. The shapes continually shift as you wend your way through this amazing place. If I had enough water on me I could have stayed many more hours than I did. As it calls me back, I am in hopes to return in the Fall... with lots of water.

Taken from the top of Mount Diablo, CA. The shadow of the top of the mountain can be seen stretching South East to the city of Livermore.

I captured this lovely image while traveling through Skagit County, Washington on a day teetering between sun and rain. The final Photoshop file is a composite that weighs in at about two gigabytes!

Created in Adobe Photoshop CS4.

Yes, the obligatory picture from the 4th; taken from a bridge crossing the Red River of the North. 17mm @ f/8, 5s, ISO 400.

This is that moment when something clicks and suddenly turns you on.

This was taken at Kelland Ponds, a small lake near Twizel, New Zealand. I found a spot I was happy with and set up my tripod, waiting for the right light. As the sun was setting, it would break through the clouds every now and again and light up the trees, showing off their incredible autumn colours.
