First sunset of the new year. Taken in Northern Italy with a Canon EOS 400D.

A beautiful sunset during a festival in France. I took this picture without noticing the beautiful colors of the background clouds. It was surprising to find this amazing photo!!

This photo is one of many taken on a recent photo-walk around "The City" (the financial district of London) with my good friend Frank. Formally known as 30 St Mary Axe, this building is a defining feature of London's epic skyline.

Taken on a cold winter day just west of Salt Lake City, Utah. Just west of Stansbury Island on the Great Salt Lake are evaporation ponds used to harvest salt and brine shrimp. During the winter these ponds are often full of water because the extra precipitation. The calm reflection and the salt buildup on the rocks in the foreground mixed with the clouds helps create a seamless bridge between sky and ground.

I took this picture of an Egyptian blue lily for my photography class. I raised the saturation in Lightroom to make the flower stand out.

Morning light strikes Mount Sefton, part of the Mount Cook National Park in New Zealand. Mount Sefton is one of the lesser known peaks in the area, but still rises to over 10,000 feet.
