Crater Lake, Oregon, USA during sunset hour.

Rock island is called "ghost ship".

Morning at the Tetons in Wyoming, USA. I hiked down a closed road to this iconic spot to catch the morning sun on the mountains and the reflection in the beaver ponds.

The easily accessible "Park Ave." in Arches National Park near Moab Utah, USA.

Yeah, I know, a little overcooked but I liked the look.

A nice sunset at Cape Arago on the Oregon Coast on the evening of February 2nd, 2014.

I had to dodge a few incoming waves at this mid-tide time. My wife stands watch to yell at me when a big incoming one makes me grab the tripod and run. Finally captured the reflections I wanted.

Lighthouse at Gregory Point in Charleston Oregon with evening light basking the cliffs.

Upper Falls on East Fork Coquille River in Oregon. Standing in water with tripod on a small rock to get this view.

The locally famous "Face Rock" in Bandon, Oregon, USA. Lots of photographers flock to this small coastal town these days. You see ads for tours to Bandon in magazines such as Outdoor Photographer. This small town has changed much from the 1980s when I went to high school there.

The famous barn at the Grand Tetons in Wyoming USA.

I spent the earlier part of the morning at a different location and missed the classic morning shot of the barn.

Sunset at Cape Arago near Charleston, Oregon.

I wanted to capture the intense green and red of the seaweed on the rocks in the foreground during sunset. The sunset did not materialize as I had hoped. Black clouds consumed the sky.

The east side of Lake Tahoe looking south towards Bonsai Rock. The water was pretty rough so I used a 1/4 second exposure to capture the flow over a nearby rock. The emerald colors in this lake are amazing.
