Monument Valley Mittens

Without question, the Monument Valley Mittens are the most iconic views of the great Southwest. The buttes when seen from the south look like mittens

Frosted Aspen Trees

Into the mountains overlooking Santa Fe, New Mexico is a beautiful aspen grove. Lush green in the summer and a lovely swath of gold in the autumn which had always been my favorite until I saw this. 15 degrees and the leafless branches were covered in frost. So stark, yet so stunningly beautiful. Just 2 colors, white and the brown trunks of the trees. Simple, minimalist fine art photography.

Taking Flight

Flock of birds flying into a beautiful sunset on the Algarve Coast of Portugal.

Spectactular Monument Valley

Impressive view of Monument Valley's sandstone buttes that tower over the desert landscape framed by the beautiful clouds of the high desert.

Santa Fe Golden Autumn Color

Two of my favorite things about living in New Mexico. The golden aspens that paint the mountains all over the state and the massive storms. Autumn is my favorite season. This image was captured on the Sangre de Cristo mountain in Northern New Mexico near Santa Fe.

Florida Boardwalk

Beautiful leading lines draw your eye from the deep shadows of this Florida wetlands forest, down the boardwalk and into the dramatic light as the forest begins to open up.

White Sands Yucca

Beautiful pastel pink sunset. Landscape on the dunes of White Sands, New Mexico

White Sands New Mexico Sunset

The face of White Sands National Monument landscape changes from moment to moment and as the seasons change in the high desert of New Mexico. The normally pristine white sand has a softer tone as the sunset begins. A couple on a distant sand dune watching the beauty unfold.

Meteora Monastery 2

Dramatic view of a monastery perched atop an immense natural sandstone pillar in Meteora meaning above the clouds. Meteora dominates this breathtaking landscape above Kalambaka, Greece.

Crystal Crag Sunrise

With the first rays of sunlight illuminates the jagged peaks of the Crystal Crag in Mammoth Lakes, California. In the quiet stillness the glow of the crag is perfectly reflected on the glassy surface of Lake Mamie. The contrast between the light and shadows creates a serene scene of the beauty of nature at its best. This also happens to be where I grew up. Crystal Crag was literally in my backyard.

California Wildflowers

During the Spring, Walker Canyon produces the most vibrant display of wildflowers I have ver seen. As far as the eye can see, the hills are covered in splashes of orange poppes, purple lupines and cornflowers. This image was captured during the Super Bloom of 2018.

San Diego Night Skyline

Beautiful city of San Diego reflecting across the beautiful Mission Bay at night.

Poolside on a Coimbra Vineyard

Cool foggy morning sitting by the pool on a vineyard in Coimbra, Portugal. Soft cool blue against the soft gray shadows of the foggy vineyard. Soothing, minimalist style.

Algarve Blue

The sky turned a deep blue with just a touch of orange as the sun fell behind the horizon signaling the start of the blue hour. The jagged rock formations standing like sentinals along the Algarve beach were bathed in the warm last soft light of the sun illuminating their rugged edges. As the sky changed from a lovely soft blue light to darkness, it was a beautiful backdrop to the reflections on the still wet beach of Praia de Roche.

Sagres Sunset

As the sun dips on the horizon, the sky above the Sagres coast is set a blaze in shades of orange, blue and purples. Waves crashing relentlessly over the rocky shore, white foam is a wonderful contrast with the steel blue ocean. Clouds in the sky curl as if to mimic the waves, a mesmirizing seascape leaves one in awe of the beauty of Portugal's Atlantic coast.

Death Valley Mesquite Dunes at Sunset

Dramatic shadows cast over Mesquite Dunes in Death Valley as the sunsets.
