Another view of Latourell Falls, this shot was taken while standing in the creek under the footbridge.
Aspenglow
A sunstar peeks through the aspen groves along North Lake Rd., just outside Bishop, CA. Every fall the Eastern Sierras put on a color show that rivals even the best the east coast has to offer.
Reaching For The Stars
Reaching For The Stars The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, high in the White Mountains above Bishop, CA contain some of the oldest trees in the world. The utter darkness of the White Mountains, coupled with the awesome gnarled trees provides great conditions for night photography. This is a stack of 57 images covering approximately 45 minutes between 3 and 4 AM in the Patriarch Grove.

Alien Cauliflower
Alien Cauliflower Anyone who's been to Mono Lake before knows that the tufas make it look like a place straight out of a science fiction movie. On this trip, I decided to check out the lesser-seen sand tufas, which are even more alien looking than their "normal" counterparts, and actually resemble giant cauliflower stalks.
The Narrows
Zion National Park A few miles into the Narrows hike, a visitor will reach Wall Street, where the canyon is at both its deepest and narrowest.
