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.

The Auckland's Aquarium hosts plenty of colorful creatures. But these dozens of clown fishes diving into the deep blue light offer the most beautiful show for the eyes.

Morraine Lake, AB, Canada is the starting point of the Larch Valley hike. Hoping for better weather, a friend and I set out for a light day in the mountains. The clouds happened to offer a nice light for this shot.

Shot from a very common spot to photograph. I believe this to be a very different mood and angle than the norm, though.

At 2502 metres above sea level, Säntis is the highest mountain in the Alpstein massif of northeastern Switzerland.
