HORSETAIL FALLS, YOSEMITE

HORSETAIL FALLS. YOSEMITE. FOR A FEW DAYS EACH YEAR THE JUXTAPOSITION OF THE SUN AND THE MOUNTAIN CREATES THIS "FIREFALL."

CANADIAN ROCKIES. Was this worth three severely frostbitten fingers? Not while I was in the hospital. Now, possibly.

THOR'S WELL

YACHATS, OREGON

Death Valley Mud Flats

Got lucky. Not only got the clouds and the reflection of the clouds but for no extra charge got the setting sunstar.

NEW ZEALAND. YIKES I GOT A MILLION SAND FLY BITES WHEN GETTING THIS PHOTO. WAS IT WORTH IT? PROBABLY BUT A CLOSE CALL.

YUKON, CANADA. SEE “ABOUT KENS PHOTOS” SECTION FOR HOW YOU CAN TAKE THIS SAME PHOTO

EASTERN SIERRAS, CA. Just lucky to have passed these trees and noticed how cool they looked.

CANADIAN ROCKIES. FROZEN METHANE BUBBLES TRAPPED UNDER THE ICE.

DEATH VALLEY

THESE ARE SALT FLATS IN DEATH VALLEY. NOTICE HOW THEY HAVE A HEPTAGONAL SHAPE FOR AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE. VERY COOL!

YUKON, CANADA. TOOK THIS PHOTO OF AIR BUBBLES UNDER THE ICE WHILE LYING ON THE ICE AND HOPING THAT THE ICE, WHICH WAS QUITE THIN, WOULD NOT CRACK.

SAND DUNES. DEATH VALLEY, CA.

CHINA. It was pouring rain with zero sun and we reluctantly decided to climb the mountain on the remote chance the sun would come out. Good decision!

ZION NATIONAL PARK

YUKON. I WENT TO PHOTOGRAPH AURORAS BUT THIS WAS TOO GOOD TO PASS UP.

Mt. Cooke, New Zealand.

From helicopter. Very Cold. Very windy. But a cool shot.

MONO LAKE, CA. YES, THE WATER WAS AS ORANGE AS AN….ORANGE.

OREGON. SEA STACKS. NICE OF THAT BIRD TO HAPPEN TO FLY BYE…NOT. I WAITED A HALF HOUR FOR HIM TO FLY IN THE RIGHT SPOT.

ANTELOPE SLOT CANYON. PAGE ARIZONA

CAPE KIWANDA, OREGON. WHEN I TOOK THIS PHOTO I FIGURED I WOULD DELETE THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PHOTO. YEAH, THE ONE THAT GIVES THE SCENE SOME SENSE OF PROPORTION. HOW DUMB WAS I?

AGUEREBERRY POINT DEATH VALLEY, CA. FIRE IN THE VALLEY.

CORMORANT FISHERMAN. GUILIN, CHINA. FISHING WITHOUT A FISHING ROD. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW THE FISHERMAN GETS THE FISH, SEE THE NEXT PHOTO.

CORMORANT BIRD AT WORK. GUILIN, CHINA.

MOAB, UTAH. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND THIS BODY OF WATER IF YOU GO TO MOAB. THE REASON IS IT RAINED, A VERY RARE EVENT IN MOAB, AND THIS BODY OF WATER IS A PUDDLE.

NEW ZEALAND JUNGLE

CANADIAN ROCKIES. WE HAD TO WAIT 20 MINUTES FOR A LONG FREIGHT TRAIN TO PASS SO WE COULD GET TO THE RIGHT SPOT. THOUGHT WE WOULD MISS THE SUNRISE.

MONO LAKE. CA. NEAT CLOUD.

ICELAND. JOKULSARION ICE BEACH. THE ICE LOOKS LIKE IT IS FLOATING IN THE AIR BECAUSE THE WAVE WAS WASHING AWAY THE SAND BENEATH IT AS I WAS TAKING THE PHOTO.

DEATH VALLEY. THE SUN AND THE MOON TOGETHER --ALMOST.

DEATH VALLEY, CA.

ANOTHER OF THE ENDLESS UNIQUE SCENES FROM DEATH VALLEY.

DEATH VALLEY

“FINGERS OF GOD”

NEW ZEALAND TROPICAL FOREST. I HAD TO WORK HARD TO GET TO THIS SPOT BUT FELT EVEN IF I DROWN OR BROKE SOMETHING IT WAS PROBABLY WORTH THE EFFORT.

EASTERN SIERRAS, CA. WHAT CIVILIZATION BUILT THESE STRUCTURES. ER…NO CIVILIZATION. THEY ARE ONLY ABOUT 8 INCHES HIGH.

CANADIAN ROCKIES

ZABRISKIE POINT, DEATH VALLEY, CA.

OREGON

BISHOP, CA. JOSHUA TREE WITH SUNSTAR

JUST OUTSIDE GLACIER NATIONAL PARK. Interesting to see waves in a lake. Maybe it had to do with the wind blowing so strongly that I could not use a tripod.
