 Rippling Sand Distances are deceiving in the desert. These sand dunes were several miles from the nearest road. |
 Sand Dune Sunset The setting sun cast an orange glow across these sand dunes in Death Valley National Park. |
 Sand #494 |
Coyote Buttes #3 Coyote Buttes is a remote but beautiful area near the border of Arizona and Utah. It is a section of the Paria River Canyon and the Vermillion Cliffs Recreation Area that is full of amazing sandstone scenery. |
Coyote Buttes #17 Coyote Buttes is full of beautifully colored, striated and textured sandstone. |
Coyote Buttes #4 In the early spring, the arid region known as Coyote Buttes comes alive with beautiful wildflowers. |
Mysterious Rocks #47 This photograph shows the mysterious moving rocks of Death Valley National Park. These rocks, which clearly move and leave deep ruts in their wake, are located in a remote region known as the Racetrack Playa, accessible via a long drive on a 4-wheel drive road. The rocks are thought to move due to very strong winds when this ancient dried lakebed is wet from very rare periods of rain. |
Miners Falls This is a photograph of part of Miner's Falls, one of the many waterfalls located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. |
Pictured Rocks #36 Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is located on the northern shores of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. There is a scenic trail that winds along the Lake Superior shore, sometimes along cliff that is several hundred feet above the lake level, offering excellent views of deep blue-green water and the colorful cliffs from which this area gets its name. |
Pictured Rocks #44 Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is in a relatively remote section of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A trip here also deserves some time for exploring the many waterfalls in this part of Michigan. |
Zion in Mist #100 In the winter, sometimes the Zion Valley walls are clouded in mist. |
Zion in Mist #101 Zion National Park is colorful, even in the fog. The canyon walls are mostly red with occasional sections covered in desert varnish. |
The Narrows #8 When the water flow of the Virgin River passing through Zion National Park becomes slow enough, the park service allows people into the canyon known as The Narrows. The canyon walls rise over a thousand feet nearly straight vertically from the river, making this hike one of the most popular in the park. |
The Narrows #13 The hike through the narrows is a wet one, often requiring wading. Depending upon the water level in the river, a hiker will spend about half of his or her time wading and the other half on sand at the base of the tall canyon walls. |
Observation Point The hike to Observation Point in Zion National Park is the most strenuous hike in the main portion of the park. But the hike is worthwhile, providing beautiful views up the canyon. |
Angels Landing #31 Although Zion National Park is one of the smaller US national parks, it is arguably one of the most beautiful. The contrast of beautiful red sandstone against a deep blue sky is hard to beat. |
Zion #32 Zion National Park in Utah is my personal favorite of all US national parks. Zion Valley has some terrific day hikes and offers spectacular scenery even from a car or bus window. |
Big Sur #3 Big Sur is a beautiful area of Pacific seashore just a few hours south of San Francisco. |
 Las Vegas #1247 Las Vegas is a beautiful place at night, with so many colored lights. This Las Vegas nightscape photo was taken at the Paris Las Vegas Resort and Casino. |
 Las Vegas #1248 Las Vegas, Nevada makes an excellent location for taking colorful nightscape photographs. |
 The Renaissance Center This is the famous Renaissance Center of Detroit - now the GM Building - which has a commanding position overlooking the Detroit River. |
 Cadillac Mountain #1011 Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park consists of beautiful pink granite that in many places is covered with pretty green lichen. |
Cadillac Mountain #904 Cadillac Mountain on the coast of Maine and part of Acadia National Park, is often encased in clouds and fog. |
Bass Harbor Lighthouse Bass Harbor Lighthouse on the coast of Maine has been in operation since the mid 1800's. |
Big Sur #4 The Pacific coast south of San Francisco is absolutely beautiful. Highway 1 along the coast provides many turnoffs that yield striking views of cliffs falling into beautifully deep blue ocean. |
Big Sur #7 The views along the Big Sur shoreline constantly change with the weather. If you're visiting San Francisco, this area deserves a day of exploration. |
Antelope Canyon #25 Just outside Page, Arizona on Navajo land is this beautiful slot canyon known as Antelope Canyon. |
Yellowstone Hotspring This is a photograph of Morning Glory pool, one of the beautiful hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. |
Valley of Fire Arch This is Arch Rock in the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. |
Death Valley 2005 Death Valley is the lowest, hottest, and driest place in North America. It is typically a stark place with little life revealing itself. In the spring of 2005, Death Valley had more wildflowers blooming than had been seen there in fifty years. |
