Lake Ohau is a glacial lake in the Mackenzie Basin of New Zealand's South Island. When I arrived at the lake, the last beams of sunlight shed across the mountain range and I had only minutes to take these photos. The strong winds in this area didn't really help. Would you like to see other New Zealand photos?

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!

A matte painting project made of different photos from all around the world. The main structures were created from the Dolomites in Switzerland.

It is said that Tolkien travelled through the landscape of Switzerland to the Lauterbrunnen Valley, a deep valley that many people now believe was the direct inspiration for the valley of Rivendell, a place instrumental to events both in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

The name Rivendell itself means "Deeply Cloven Valley" and the Lauterbrunnen, with its steep sides and many waterfalls (72 to be exact), certainly fits this description, with the mountains of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau lying beyond.

I'm currently on Iceland and was quite disappointed the last time when I travelled here (drone crash, bad weather and almost no northern lights).

This time however, my return to Iceland was awarded with the most powerful northern lights I've ever seen!

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.
