Delicate Arch Bursting Out

Delicate Arch. The Delicate Arch is the most jaw-dropping arch in Arches National Park. It does take a 3m roundtrip hike to get close and in January the last 200 yards can be icy and slippery, but it is worth the hike. This photo was taken after the sunset. The La Sal Mountains are behind the delicate arch. Most every other month there are lots of others watching the sunset but this cool day in January there were very few allowing photos to be taken without anyone around… See more

Inside the Double Arch

Inside the double arch. Early morning at Arches National Park was a cloudy day. As I got to this arch the clouds overhead started to clear. I decided to take a set of photos inside the arch. You can see the clouds over the arch on the left and the clearing on top of the photo. I like how this turned out and is different from most photos of the double arch #archesnationalpark #landscapephotography #doublearch #utah

Nighttime in the Momument Valley

This was taken on US Hiway 163 in Southern Utah. Looking to the south are some of the Buttes that make up the Monument Valley. The Hiway provides a nice line to the buttes. This was taken about 30 min after the sunset. It provides a nice dark blue for the sky with a yellow and tint of orange on the horizon silhouetting the unique formation.

Mile Marker 13 Sunset

Mile Marker 13 Sunset. In the movie, Forrest Gump, there is a scene where Forrest stops running after 3+ years. The scene was filmed on mile marker 13 US Hiway 163 in Southern Utah with the beautiful buttes of the Monument Valley in the background. I took this photo of the sun setting there. it is a beautiful spot for a photo.

The Mittens in Monument Valley in the Navajo

My first visit to Monument Valley in Navajo Indian Reservation. It is specatular when you see it in person, even the best photos cannot give you the scale and beauty. This is the Mittens Buttes (left Mitten and Right Mitten or East Mitten and West Mitten) and the Butte to the right is the Merrick Butte.

An HDR image of the Grand Canyon taken at Yavapai Point. The photo was taken minutes before the sun rose. The Colorado River is barely visible in the lowest part of the canyon near the middle of the photo. The colors of the buttes came out nicely before the sun rose and it provided more dimentional view.

Cathedral Rock and Oak Creek Reflection

Cathedral Rock in Sedona, Arizona is a nice place for photgraphy. Sometimes, it takes me multiple times at a location to get the photo I like. On this trip I found a spot (after a lengthy hike) with a good view of the rock and a nice reflection in Oak Creek. #CanonR5 #ReallyRightStuff

Close to the finish

My favorite lone tree has died and some of the branches are starting to break away after wet snow storms. Today's sunrise was without clouds so i used a 100-400 zoom lens to only capture the tree in the orange shade of the sky just before the sun comes up.

Flatland sunset

on the plains of Eastern North Dakota, the lands are flat. This sunset in November had a stiff wind which caused some interesting cloud formations.

Park River Sunset

Colorful sunset of the Park River in eastern North Dakota, a few feet from confluence with the Red River. The flat plains leads to big skies

Horsetooth Summer Storm

During the summer, we see a number of lightning storms come from the front range foothills and out on the Colorado plains. In Fort Collins, this typically means it starts near horsetooth rock and reseervior. This night i captured a number of lightning sticks but it was unusual since the storm was heading south instead of east.
