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.

Reflection of Mount Cook and the surrounding peaks on Lake Pukaki. The mountain was touched with the last sunrays of that day. Endless tranquility.

This was shot from my campsite at Paulina Lake, Oregon, October 2015. Its the last week the campground is open, so it a great time if you want the place to yourself. Really cold though!!

A winter sunset clouds panorama over the Principality of Monaco, taken in February 2015. The original 433 megapixel ultra high resolution photograph is a 180 degree panorama taken from a cliff above Monaco.

Beautiful pink and purple clouds appear mostly during the sunsets of autumn, winter and early spring, when the Sun sets far out West, lighting up the sky in fabulous colours.

During post processing I tried to hide all except the bridge and reduce it to the minimum.

A 3-light-year-long pillar, bathed in the glow of light from hot, massive stars to the top of the image. Scorching radiation and fast winds (streams of charged particles) from these stars are sculpting the pillar and causing new stars to form within it. Streamers of gas and dust can be seen flowing off the top of the structure.

Nestled inside this dense structure are fledgling stars. They cannot be seen in this image because they are hidden by a wall of gas and dust. Although the stars themselves are invisible, one of them is providing evidence of its existence. Thin puffs of material can be seen traveling to the left and to the right of a dark notch in the center of the pillar. The matter is part of a jet produced by a young star. Farther away, on the left, the jet is visible as a grouping of small, wispy clouds. A few small clouds are visible at a similar distance on the right side of the jet. Astronomers estimate that the jet is moving at speeds of up to 850,000 miles an hour. The jet's total length is about 10 light-years.

Composed of gas and dust, the pillar resides in a tempestuous stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula, located 7,500 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina.

We almost missed this sunset due to snow and clouds rolling in and creating a complete blanket of gray skies. However, we decided to wait, standing in the cold wind and snow flurries, just in case. After a couple hours of waiting, we were treated to one of the more vivid sunsets I have seen in quite some time. The sky exploded with a fiery glow as the winds calmed and the snow stopped.
