One of my first photos taken of a storm from home.

Taken at the Jungle Park in Tenerife while on holiday. Not an easy shot to get as it was from behind glass and this particular Leopard kept pacing around its enclosure. Not the best zoo for photographs.

Canon EOS 500D, Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM, Apple Aperture 3.

How various the colors of the sky can be, you can see on this picture I created from nine of my favorite shots since 2008. Enjoy!

Coming back into Zion National Park at sunset, we caught this bighorn on the cliff, just at the edge of the last ray of sun.

Cape Arago Lighthouse near Coos Bay, Oregon during late afternoon light on very windy day. Longer exposure to blur the sea. Had a hard time getting good shots with tripod on steep cliff and 30 mph wind gusts.

This was taken in my backyard, with one of my favorite toys. Just having fun!

Taken during on of my trips through the Italian Dolomites in the Summer of 2010. Lago di Braies (Südtirol) is located on the northern border of the nature park Fanes-Sennes-Braies and is not only one of the most beautiful lakes but also one of the deepest.

Taken on a misty morning in Waconia, Minnesota during the unseasonably warm winter this year. I spotted this scene off the road on the way to work one random morning. First submission - be kind.
