We continued up a bit higher past camp for new vistas of the Patagonian area. Then we bushwhacked up the side of a hill and settled in the brush and trees watching this scene unfold. Tough light, but it was still exciting to see this glacier create multiple intimate waterfalls that fed this...
I post this image of my fine friend Ben Egbert with sad eyes today. Here he is at a place that was close to his heart, Skyline Overlook, Utah. Ben and I shared a strong background in mechanics and engineering, having had similar experiences in our careers. I never knew him in his wilder...
Switching from landscape mode to wildlife mode quickly is not a formula for success. Recently, while in Patagonia, we encountered a pair of Puma and I had my medium format camera in hand, with lousy tracking and dicey autofocus. Took me over a month after my return to get the courage to look...
Perhaps I should be tired of looking at this mountain range already. I am, kind of, but new views get me going again! Here the big peak is shrouded, but the rest is just fine.
Thanks for your kind comments on my Patagonia images. Seems that you might like to see more as I get them presentable. This is the creek. So clean you can drink from it. Oh, and that mountain in the background again.....
For a landscape photographer visiting Patagonia for the first time, it is hard to not allow this part of the range to dominate your desires. It took many days of waiting for Mt. Fitz Roy to make an appearance through disappointing weather. And then this appears. These moments become more...
I'm home from this wonderful adventure. Endless photo ops. This image is a place we visited a few times until the conditions were right. Hellish winds. Hiking in with headlamps pre-sunrise. Just to be there was priceless. The photos are a bonus!
I'm still here for two more days. Had the finest sunrise today. It's fall season here. Finally after many gray overcast mornings. Was in Mt. Fitz Roy area for about a week already. Patagonia is wonderful, so legendary. Have hiked around 50 miles so far. Paradisio!
Perhaps, though it is short and fat! Found this scene in northern New Mexico recently. I only got lightly drizzled upon, as a mad dash for the car was over a mile away. Made it there dry!
A coupla weeks ago I was witness to a rare event in Big Bend National Park, TX. Temps really dropped and a wet storm came busting in. Snow! I was lucky to already be in the Chisos Basin, surrounded by mountains, when they closed the only twisty and steep road in. I had an entire day of no...
3500 miles in two weeks and four states including Texas which is like it's own continent. I've processed just one image so far and this is it, a sunrise near Saguaro NP, Arizona.
Long Canyon is just that, a long, tall and beautiful slot that the Burr Trail Road runs through on it's way to Capitol Reef NP. It was fun seeing it from above for the first time.
Finally, after many years of trying, I got out to southern Utah in the winter and snow. A completely different experience from my usual summertime monsoon chasing. This wonderful barn in Boulder, Utah is recognizable if you've gone down the Burr Trail Road. And the red one is across the road...
There are wide desert valleys between each of the mountain ridges seen here in the Mojave Desert. I wildly guess that this view is 25 miles long. Sometimes you don't see a view like this unless you are on a higher ground than the rest of the scene. Here, I was using my drone to extend the...
I spent a few cold days and nights in the Mojave Desert last week. These Granite Mountains are a bit more like huge boulder piles and rise to over 1000' above the surrounding flats where I camped. Very isolated and alone. My happy place! Painfully numb fingers on the drone controller to make...
Yet another storm ends while raw next one is on the horizon. Today is dumping rain again, but two days ago the morning was perfect. Here are two images made fifteen minutes apart, as the skies were rapidly changing.
The Harbor at Santa Barbara, CA. The first one shows the Channel Islands, 25...
I've been here so often, I take it casually now. Yet, I found renewed interest and vision recently at this place even with no weather drama. Manley Beacon from Zabriskie Point, Death Valley, CA
