The name of this magistral place is Park Avenue.

The silence here was impressive.

The headlands at Cape Arago State Park on the Oregon Coast in the United States.

Several large cracks exist in the rocky headlands. At times giant waves crash in and out making the area fairly dangerous. My wife stands watch as I focus on the shot. Waves hit your feet at times.

The Racetrack (Moving Rocks) - Star Trails - Death Valley

This was shot at The Racetrack in Death Valley. It was a time-lapse for about 3 hours in the late evening. I then combined those images in Photoshop to create this star trail image. The Moon is what is lighting the rock and the foreground.

Taken in Joshua Tree National Park during last month's new moon. Visible with the naked-eye, the Milky Way can be seen stretching far overhead. Cheers.

Another composition of my shot taken from the top of Mt. Warning with a beautiful view towards the Gold Coast, Australia. The two and a half hour hike up to the top was definitely worth the effort! Enjoy!

If you want to see how it feels like standing at the edge of the 604 meter drop, have a look at a video we made from the hike. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufrqtU90aP8

Angel's landing is one of Zion National Park's most famous hikes. This photo was taken off-trail and you can see in the bottom right corner, the path leading to the Virgin River valley below. Down center is the road where the bus shuttle drives. It is only authorized vehicle in the park past its lodge. It is an amazing park to visit, only a two-hour drive from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Sandstone formations and concretions at Shore Acres Park on the Oregon Coast, USA. Winter waves crash 100 feet into the air and land on this sandstone, speeding up the weathering action.
