Dunes at Sunset The sand dunes of Death Valley are at their most beautiful when the sun is low, either at sunrise or sunset. |
Buckskin Gulch #53 Buckskin Gulch is thought to be the longest slot canyon in the world. Slot canyons are little more than narrow crevices through stone mountains. Many slot canyons, Buckskin Gulch included, are susceptible to flash floods that make them dangerous places after a rain. But these flash floods sculpt the walls of the canyon adding to their interest and beauty. |
Buckskin Gulch #44 Buckskin Gulch is located in Coyote Buttes. It's an easy and interesting hike to go through some of Buckskin Gulch, but too long to make it through in a single day. |
 Pinnacles #362 Pinnacles National Mounument in California is full of unusually shaped boulders that were created by volcanic activity. |
 Pinnacles #363 Pinnacles National Monument is particularly beautiful in the spring when the sharp contrast between the green vegetation and boulders is highlighted. |
 Stones in Spring Pinnacles National Monument rises dramatically out of unlikely surroundings consisting of gently rolling hills, now covered in vineyards just outside of Soledad, California. |
Detroit At Night #2 This nightscape photograph of the Detroit skyline was taken from Windsor with the city lights reflected in the Detroit River. |
Detroit At Night This is another nightscape photo of the Detroit skyline. |
 Lower Lewis Falls #2179 An easy trail follows the Lewis River past the lower, middle, and upper Lewis Falls. |
Buckskin Gulch #51 In some parts of Buckskin Gulch, the walls of this slot canyon are closer together than the width of an adult's shoulders. |
Buckskin Gulch #45 Much of Buckskin Gulch lacks the brilliant colors of some slot canyons, but there are places where the wavy textured walls are colorful and very attractive. |

 Mysterious Rocks These are the mysterious moving rocks of Death Valley that are found in the Racetrack Playa. The Playa is an ancient dried lakebed that is almost perfectly flat for several miles. These rocks tumble down the slopes of surrounding hills and then apparently move across the lakebed when the Playa is wet. The evidence of this is that the pattern of cracks in the mud in the wakes of the rocks are different from the pattern of the cracks in the mud seen elsewhere on the Playa. No one has ever witnessed these rocks moving, but it's thought that they are blown by strong winds racing across the Playa. |
 Twenty Mule Team This is one of the original Twenty Mule Team Borax trains that was used to haul processed borax out of Death Valley in the 1800's. |
 Sensuous Sand The windblown sand dunes of Death Valley sometimes take on smooth sensuous curves. |
 Desert Gold In the spring of 2005, after an unusually wet winter, Death Valley had more wildflowers blooming than have been seen there in fifty years. |
 Desert Bloom This is a photograph of Death Valley National Park taken during the profuse wildflower bloom of 2005. |
 Green Beach #88 During a neap tide in Oregon, these rarely exposed rocks covered in seaweed became visible. |
 Green Beach #89 The beach and tidepools along Oregon's coast are fascinating places to visit during an unusually low tide. |
Angel Oak This is a photograph of the Angel Oak tree, just outside of Charleston, SC. It is claimed to be the largest and oldest Oak tree in North America. |
 Barker Dam An early morning visit to Barker Dam in Joshua Tree National Park provides a view of a calm and beautiful reflection of the surrounding boulders. |
 Chollas At Sunset Joshua Tree National Park has an extensive "garden" of Cholla Cacti. |
 Barker Dam #2701 This is a photo of Barker Dam in Joshua Tree National Park in California. |
Coyote Buttes #250 Throughout much of Coyote Buttes there aren't really hiking trails. And this works fine because the area is so beautiful, it's a pleasure to wander and explore and discover beautiful nooks and crannies within the rocks. |
 Joshua Tree Sunset Joshua Tree National Park is famous for - of course - Joshua Trees. But there are also the interesting Cholla cacti and some of the most beautiful sunsets to be seen anywhere. |
Harbor View Maine is famous for lobster and almost every coastal harbor there is filled with moorings for lobster boats. |
