‘Look-Out’
She takes in the beautiful view while precariously perched on a mountain side at Mt. Charleston.
Take the time to look-out.
‘Sunset on Padaro Beach’
The sun throws light at the striated cloud formations scattered above the Pacific. Colors emerge as different wavelengths reflect off of the coagulated, suspended water particles.
You, too, can reflect beautiful wavelengths.
‘Fresh Cut’
Sunrise greets the freshly mowed grass. The delicate process of gas trade commences, cleansing the emissions from the day before.
Fair trade.
‘The Alternative’
Wind turbines turning atop the rolling hills outside of San Francisco.
Keep in mind, the alternative.
‘Racing Power’
The most recent from the Open Road Series. Shot in Gene, Nevada.
When in doubt, feet out.
‘Staring at the Sun’
‘Gradual Decline’
Newest from the Open Road series. This one was taken on the way back from Mount Charleston. The vistas out here are amazing and its proximity to Vegas makes this destination a double plus.
*Note* This picture marks the roll-over of my camera odometer - shot 10,000 photos in 9 months…
A Golden Rule: Success begins in finding the open space.
‘Canyon Walls’
Sometimes you feel boxed in; turn the corner and you’re free.
‘Infinity Point’
Open Road, this time on the way to Ely, Nevada on US Highway 93. The roads stretch forever out here. Retracing this four hour jaunt in May, very excited to return to the wilderness for a bit.
Some Destinations seem so far; stay on the Path, and eventually you’ll reach them.
‘Sun Kissed’
Rays from the brilliant Las Vegas sun reach out and kiss the deep red pigments in the foliage of this unidentified tree. I looked all over Google and cannot seem to find a good picture or description of this particular plant species; some questions are maybe better left unanswered.
Beauty resides even in the unidentifiable.
‘Open Road’
Took a drive out to Lake Mead and renewed my love for the open road.
Just shut up, and drive.
‘Upper Atmosphere’
Flying high above the clouds, the sunlight refracting off the air below the plane creates the light blue colors above the majestic, snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains. The lower concentration of matter in the upper atmosphere fades to black because of a lack of light reflecting compounds. Science has an explanation, but the beauty is indescribable.
Never Fade to Black.
‘Tree Blooms’
Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.
Enjoy.
‘The Gap Narrows’
This photo was taken shortly after take-off from McCarren Airport in Las Vegas, and features the fringe of the Las Vegas valley, Red Rock National Park, and a glimpse of Mt. Charleston.
As time passes, the gap between nature and civilization narrows - we are consumers. This particular valley has a low populous, at the moment, due to conservation acts and laws forbidding development. This concept of preservation exists to keep things intact so that they can be enjoyed by a later generation, but this ideology has an expiration date - some time in the near future, this cleft between the two contrasting ecospheres will be non-existant. The two will become one, but this relationship will not be symbiotic - a more likely analogy is a hunter and its prey. See all that you can before it expires.
Enjoy.
‘2-Hour Alaskan Sunset’
Shot this whilst in Alaska a while back.
Sunrise: 4:56 AM; Sunset: 10:57PM ~ 20 hours of day light
Enjoy.
