Stars Like Dust

Mount St. Helens.

Flowers On Mars

This small cirque under Broken Top in the 3 sisters wilderness is mostly rocky and barren. It looks from afar as though it should be lifeless. However, each summer these beautiful small flowers bloom providing an amazing and stark contrast to the landscape.

Nightlight

I took this image at about 11:15pm and the light lasted for about an hour. It was truly a beautiful evening. Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Iceland.

Still

North Cascades, WA.

Purple Haze

Mt. Hood reflecting in Trillium Lake. The only disturbance was from the ducks and newborns splashing around along the shore.

Spotlight

A moment of calm water and soft light from the shores of Two Medicine Lake, Glacier NP.

Gothic Pink

North Cascades, WA.

Whispering Night

I found this tarn reflecting Mt. Rainier just as the sun set. I thought that it made for a nice scene, but as mist rose from other hidden tarns throughout the meadow the scene became rather magical.

Cold Caress

Broken Top bathed in morning light. In reality there was a half moon that was just out of the frame, but for this image to work adding the moon seemed necessary.

Emergence

After a 3 a.m. departure I made it to the summit with the lights of Government Camp still shining brightly and stars overhead. As the sun rose and clouds filled the sky I was treated to the colorful sunrise I had hoped for. Mt. Hood, Oregon.

Black Tusk

After an evening of smoke filled skies I woke up to a frigid morning with intense wind. The smoke had mostly cleared out and produced a beautiful pre-sunrise glow along the horizon. The prominent peak is Black Tusk in Garibaldi Provincial Park, BC.

Creation

My friend and I were treated to perfect snow conditions and really beautiful color in the sky. Unfortunately the mountain never came out that morning. With such beautiful conditions I couldn't help but go back and shoot from the same spot so I could add the mountain to the scene.

Flower Power

A clear early morning sky with stars fading and the first breath of light hitting the peaks in flower filled Gothic Basin, Washington Cascades.

Expanse

Sometimes it all comes together. All I had to do was roll out of my tent and start shooting. Mt. Rainier, WA.
