On a beach in Iceland I found this small rock formation that seemed out of place, but the wavy texture and green algae caught my eye.

A few of my favorite Black and White photos from 2025. I don’t convert to B&W images vey often but sometimes the lighting or texture is too good not to.

That one foggy morning created one of the most beautiful photography conditions that I had the pleasure to shoot. Fog is very uncommon where I live so it was an unexpected surprise when I woke up that day.

One magical October morning I got to witness snow clash with autumn colors that were still attached to trees at lower elevations. First time seeing this phenomenon and it was pretty glorious.

Happy New Year everyone!

Continuing my favorite photos/moments of 2025. Back in March I had the pleasure to revisit the Grand Canyon, no matter how many times I’ve been here I’m always in awe.

Iceland was one of most memorable places I got to visit this year for the first time. Certainly lived up to its hype and was no shortage of one my favorite subject matter, waterfalls.

The beautiful Öxarárfoss in Thingvellir National Park. Háifoss, one of first waterfalls I visited and had a beautiful rainbow across the scene Hengifoss with its very unique bacon like stripes across the rock wall. Brúarfoss, the blue color waterfall and one of my favorite

Favorite photos/moments of 2025.

The tent rocks of New Mexico, one of the more unique geological formations I got to see this year. (note the tree on the bottom right corner for a sense of scale.)

Since this is New Year’s Week thought I’ll share some of my favorite images/moments of 2025.

Fall colors in what is probably the most popular autumn composition in the park.

The magic of winter ❄️

Hoar frost covers this old birch beside a small lochen deep in the Scottish wilderness.

A birch tree is covered in hoar frost beside a beautiful royal blue loch, from the cairngorms national park in Scotland. Captured by drone, this shows a very unique perspective of a tree backed by water. Captured by Chris Harrison

Welcome to #Stunday!

Being at the Red Canyon Visitor Center (Flaming Gorge #Utah) during a colorful stormy #sunset is a treat for the eyes and lens.

I remember seeing the clouds in front of the Flatirons from near my home, approximately 20 miles away. I rushed home and grabbed my camera and got out to the meadow before they cleared.

Sunset on the River Forth at Alloa, Scotland. A Boxing Day sunset sets across the opposite bank, lighting up the winter sky and silhouetting a group of tall electricity pylons. A gull glides over the single fishing boat anchored on a still River Forth, off the river bank of the industrial end of Alloa, Scotland. The tall structures of the nearby glass factory reach into the winter sky just after sunset. In the distance, a sliver of orange highlights the City of Stirling Sunset on the River Forth at Alloa, Scotland.

Dense autumn thicket with tall trees bearing golden-yellow leaves and dark, twisting bare branches, layered over purple-brown shrubs and pale blue-green bushes against a gray rocky hillside.

Winter sunlight threads through cypress trunks, its reflection stretching in a narrow band across slightly-rippled water.

More sandbanks at low tide seen from a drone - this time over the Kyle of Tongue.

#Scotland #DronePhotography #DJIMavic3Pro #AwesomeFoursome
Black sandbanks in rippled patterns seen from above, with some blueish water at the bottom and lighter water with a touch of sunset colour above. Grey sandbanks seen from directly above, with green/blue water surrounding them and some ripples visible. A bend in a river with sandbanks either side, some ripples visible. The sand looks grey/black and the water green/blue, lighter at the top. A wider view of a loch with black sandbanks silhouetted in the foreground, dark mountains in the distance, and post-sunset orange skies reflected in part of the loch.

May finally be getting some snow this weekend. Hopefully the surrounding forest will look as wintery as this image on my next hike in the mountains.
