This was taken on a warm spring night at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Oregon. I had the angle in mind a few nights ago while driving by the farm, and while shooting I noticed the northern star coinsidently happened to be dead center in the frame. Poor scouting on my part, but happy accident!

My first successful HDR. The guy beside me had hundreds of dollars in filters. I hope his shots came out this nice!

Part of a dual monitor set I'll be uploading later. This is the first half. The original resolution is 30,400 x 9,500. Yep, you didn't misread that :).

At 2502 metres above sea level, Säntis is the highest mountain in the Alpstein massif of northeastern Switzerland. Säntis is among the most prominent summits in the Alps and the most prominent summit in Europe with an observation deck on the top. The panorama from the summit is spectacular. Six countries can be seen if the weather allows: Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, France, and Italy.

This is the peak of Mount Cook, New Zealand. I captured this beautiful view during a recent flight around the Aoraki area with its wonderful mountains, glaciers and valleys.

For me - and I guess for most of other people, too - reaching the top of one of these mountains is a lifelong but yet unreachable dream.

I took a trip down south to Monterey to go whale watching, after that I decided to take a little trip up California State Road 1. This is Big Sur California.

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.

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.

Although it was back in 2008 when I visited the Rockefeller Center the last time, it felt like yesterday. I noticed though that the skyline had changed quite a bit. The building in the front center (between 46th & 47th streets) must have popped up out of the ground, as it's not even in Google Maps. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful day and at last, I could experience how Rockefeller enjoyed a sunny day's ending.
