In 2011 I visited various gorgeous places in Iceland. This cave near Dyrholaey was one of them.

One of my favorites from a great sunset evening at Cape Arago on the Oregon Coast, USA. This area has amazing geological formations, incredible sunsets, and dangerous seas. It is close to home so I go there often. A 3.2-second exposure for the water and a 0.6-second exposure for the sky with a 0.9 ND Hard grad filter.

Taken in the Warehouse District in Hamburg, Germany. This perspective is well known and very popular for photographers, nevertheless, I do hope you enjoy this wallpaper anyway! Happy new Year!

A short little side cliff hike accessible during low tide opens up to a large shelf with numerous tide pools. Sneaker waves can catch you as the tide comes in if your not careful.

For Christmas this year my family and I took a trip up to Jackson Gap (near Dutchman Peak) with some friends. When we left home it was foggy and cold, but up on the mountain there was nothing but glorious sunshine. It was warm too, t-shirt weather. Just before packing up to head home I snapped this shot of the Red Buttes Wilderness. Enjoy!

I took this photo in the heart of London town, December 2013.

Maybe this is the "Gotham City Police Department". They sure have the Bat-Signal on top!

Had to wait until after dark for all the people to leave to get this view I wanted without having to do a ton of work editing people out.

One of the crevasses at Cape Arago on the Oregon Coast, USA. Super cool area to watch the tide and waves. Can be super dangerous as well. The waves rush into these large cracks and slam into the shallow caverns with a resounding crash and percussion. Sneaker waves can make where you stand under water in seconds.
