Shot from the mountain "Imberger Horn" above Bad Hindelang in Bavaria, Germany.

After hiking up in the dark for about two hours I got the gift of this perfect view.

Also check out the panorama I took an hour before this shot.

I hope you like it! :)

Unique sunrise view in the mountains of Fiordland, New Zealand.

The only way to get up there is by helicopter - I had an amazing view on the sunrise over Fiordland. The Norwest Lakes were sparkling in the early morning light and the Sun dyed everything deep orange after rising over the peaks.

The Lord of the Rings producers liked and filmed beside these high alpine lakes too. One of the most stunning places I've ever been!

This composite image combines a near-infrared view from the Hubble Space Telescope, an infrared view from the Spitzer Space Telescope, and an X-ray view from the Chandra X-ray Observatory into one multi-wavelength picture.

It features the spectacle of stellar evolution: from vibrant regions of star birth, to young hot stars, to old cool stars, to seething remnants of stellar death called black holes. This activity occurs against a fiery backdrop in the crowded, hostile environment of the galaxy's core, the center of which is dominated by a supermassive black hole nearly four million times more massive than our Sun. Permeating the region is a diffuse blue haze of X-ray light from gas that has been heated to millions of degrees by outflows from the supermassive black hole as well as by winds from massive stars and by stellar explosions. Infrared light reveals more than a hundred thousand stars along with glowing dust clouds that create complex structures including compact globules, long filaments, and finger-like "pillars of creation," where newborn stars are just beginning to break out of their dark, dusty cocoons.

View of Great Wall at Jinshanling, in the early morning.

Over a Thanksgiving holiday I was spending some solitary time at the rapids. The hike was full of colourful leaves and this bright red maple tree caught my attention.

This shot is a composite of an exposure lasting several minutes using my Lee Big Stopper to blur the water, and another series of photos combined using HDR to freeze the leaves.

A friend of mine recommended I check out Hug Point on the Oregon Coast. I didn't make it in time to hike to the most popular spot so I made the most out of the beach near the parking area for sunset. I ended up getting some great shots!

Taken at the Natural Arch (Bridge) in Springbrook National Park, Queensland, Australia. A popular destination for many years it has changed since I've last been there (many years ago) with the addition of a tree that has fallen through the cave roof and, unfortunately, a viewing platform which restricts photo options. Nonetheless I'm pleased with how this came out but I feel it is most suited to a wider aspect crop.

Shot at the Grand Teton National Park. Quite hard to find an opportunity to shot as no vehicles in the picture.

Taken from the top deck on the 102nd floor. At sixteen floors above the 86th floor observatory of the Empire State Building, it gives the most spectacular views of the city and beyond.

Clouds were gathering and slowly casting over the city which gave a very intense atmosphere. Enjoy!
