Your Mothers Violent Past

In the Coyote Buttes area. Taken about 20 seconds before it started to snow. Cold and windy but damn it was beautiful!!!!!!!!

Swirls of lift

I love this image. Spend five minutes staring at it and try to envision how this happened~

Violent Vector

This is a 2 vertical HDR frame stitch- one of my favs. Brains, Waves, Teepees, clouds, colors. A lot going on here. Would really like to hear what you think - seems my favorites aren't always yours....

Ice Cream

In the Coyote Buttes area. Taken minutes before a nice snowstorm.

Note- this is not an HDR image, it looks much better unprocessed than otherwise. It is however a stitch of 4 vertical shots. The original is very high resolution and will make a very nice

Flowing into the ancient past

Man this place just blew me away. Looks like you could surf it.

I normally dont like to do this but just this once...

White Storm

I spent a lot of time trying to imagine how this formation was created

The Cruise Ship

Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me.........

Radiance

That golden hour of sunset, and what a place to see it. Was hard to pick the shot - there was so much good material in every direction. I shot over 200 frames in less than three hours.

Mars Rise Sun Strange

Just as the sun began to peek over the cliffs behind me. While it looks warm and cozy, it was ~20° F and the day before it snowed on me....

TeXture

Just messing around with DOF

Hackberry Creek

One of those little unplanned side trips. We took a random road off the Cottonwood Canyon trail and from and overlook I said "Hey! That looks like a slot canyon from here..."

Well, turns out it wasn't a slot, but was a fun little canyon to exp

Inferno of Reflection

If you have to get your feet wet, this is the place to do it

Well, turns out it wasn't a slot, but was a fun little canyon to explore for an hour or so along the journey.

The Majestic Grosvner Arch

Not really happy with the what this one came out, but I gotta keep uploading. I only have like 4,000 more images to process from the Great Escape 2....

Camp along the famous Burr Trail

We're moving really fast

50 minute exposure at our camp just outside Capitol Reef.

The North Star

Experimenting with long exposures of the heavens above. This was a 25 minute expsure at f/4 ISO 800. The forground was light by my campfire.

Upper Muley Twist Double Arch

Another rare double arch found on the Upper Muley Twist Trail in Capitol Reef National Park

Route 24

While airing my tires back up after having conquered Molly's Castle, I took this pavement shot.

Route 24

Different view than the previous shot

Sunset on the San Rafael Badlands

I had no business taking this photo - it was almost fully dark on the ground, but the sky lit up for a brief moment as I was out fossil hunting. Good thing I had my tripod. I really like this photo, glad it turned out!!

Sunrise on the Badlands

Taken near our capsite at Muddy Creek. On the top of this hill I found a layer about 5 feet thick full of fossils. Hard to imagine this was the bottom of an ocean millions and millions of years ago.
