This was taken on a recent drive over the North York Moors National Park. One of the finest views in England so it says on a nearby signpost.

I got lucky with my timing and the sunset being as beautiful as it was.

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.

Cool little falls along a small single lane road in the wilderness of Coos County in Oregon, USA. Creek is the South Fork Coquille River. Couple of stacked images for focus.

Shot from the summit of Smith Rock, outside Bend, Oregon. If you ever go here I can't emphasize enough to take the Misery Ridge trail.

On Wednesday I spent 14 hours and drove around 700 miles chasing storms through Kansas and Oklahoma. The "cap" prevented many of the storms from producing much, but we ended the night with a breathtaking sunset that lasted over an hour! What a sight! This is a photo I took near Enid, Oklahoma while we were enjoying the show.

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!

I took this picture in Yellowstone National Park, at around 6am. The mist had subsided partially as the Sun came up but was reluctant to leave, lingering on the surface.

Red and green aurora, Milky Way, and a passing meteor in a single composition. Taken Memorial Day weekend at Glacier National Park before Going To The Sun Road was even open. We drove the long way around in the middle of the night from Apgar to the east St. Mary entrance just to catch the Milky Way on St. Mary Lake. We were incredibly fortunate that evening.

After a day with cloudy and rainy weather, we were lucky to get a great sunset on top of the Empire State Building. The colors of the sky and of the fading city were just great!
