While having dinner on a boat, sitting in the middle of the Caribbean waters, I took this image.

This photo was taken at the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in the Death Valley National Park - a great sandbox for all the tourists that come here. Nevertheless, at the the end of the day, all that's left of them are their footprints in the sand. So I enjoyed the wonderful colors of the sunset on my own :) By the way, all you can hear in a sand desert is your own breath and the pulse in your ear - very interesting effect...

The bridge/viaduct in the picture is the Millau Viaduct in the south of France. It is the current record holder for tallest bridge by structural height (343 meters/1125 feet). When you look at the cars you get a feeling of how big this viaduct actually is. I shot this picture on the way back home from vacation. Had to make a massive detour to see it, but was totally worth it. The picture was shot on the 6th of March, 2011. As you can tell from the picture, it was a very hazy day, but with some Adobe Lightroom 4 magic it became much better.

I took this on a trip through Utah. Bryce Canyon never ceases to amaze me. Hope you like it!

Seeing the first light of a wonderful day reflected in a heart-shaped pond makes for a pretty good start. The picture was taken at Milford Sound, Fjordlands, New Zealand, on a chilly autumn morning. For a place that gets roughly 360 rainy days a year, I turned out to be pretty lucky!

(Approximately) Laguna Beach, California. The sunset was rather insipid, so I pointed my camera down instead! Taken around dusk with a polarizer to allow visibility through the water into the tide pools.

This is the narrow gorge of the Lower Antelope Canyon in Arizona, where the sunlight illuminates the Navajo Sandstone in various marvelous colors.
