White Sands is a photographer's dream. There are so many different shapes and shadows to use and it's fun trying to find the right layering and yucca plants to make a compelling image. The dark shadows two hours or so before sunset help define the dunes against all the white sand.

This is Mount Cook, the highest mountain in New Zealand, located in the Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park.

I took this photo a few days ago during my stay at Lake Tekapo. We traveled along Lake Pukaki while the mountain was covered in clouds. Later that day we got really lucky with the weather, as it became really sunny and the complete mountain range was cloud free, which happens not really often. After sunset, I had the great opportunity to take this photo, while the mountain was covered in the last red sunrays while the other mountains and the lake went dark. The reflections on the lake were just marvelous.

The photo is nearly untouched, I just did some minimal lens correction and color adaption, as photos taken with the 70-300mm sometimes seem to be a bit foggy.

Early morning near Timothy Lake on Mt Hood in Oregon. I went for a sunrise, but it rained, and I ended up being happy with that.

Jökulsárlón is the most famoust glacier lagoon of southeast Iceland.

Floating ice, stagnant water and a blue overview. Very popular with tourists and photographers, and if you have time... make a journey to the lagoon.

This shot was taken in September 2014 at the edge of the lagoon.

An early morning just outside Madras, Oregon. A friend of mine has a ton of land here, and each time I go I discover another amazing view!

A little bit of trespassing led me to the Rose Valley Reservoir in West Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada which is still largely frozen-over (though not traversable). Then it was just a matter of waiting for the Sun to set.

Walking through the Daintree Rainforest I stumbled back as I saw this lizard clinging to a tree at my eye level. We looked at each other for a while, he didn't move at all, and he kindly let me take his photograph before I continued through the rainforest back to Mossman Gorge.

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.
