Sheep and secret portals at the Fairly Glen on the magical Isle of Skye 🐑 🧚 The local sheep seemed entirely unimpressed by the tear in the space-time continuum, which is very on-brand for Scottish livestock.

A wee peek from exploring #Scotland the last couple of weeks! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 It was an incredible trip but a lot of pushing through headcolds and a wide variety of weather. Still, we had a wonderful time and I'm looking forward to sharing what photos I managed to capture 🖤

A little winter #throwback to pastel dawns and aurora-lit nights in Levi, Finland earlier this year. This trip truly made me a fan of winter travel forever and I honestly can't wait for our next adventure to the Arctic. ❄️ 🦌 🌌

Hey it is Thanksgiving after all: I'm thankful for fog that rolls in and makes everything look dramatic and brooding. Can't wait to soak up the ultimate version in Scotland soon. What is the one natural element you are grateful for right now? 🙏 #Photography #LandscapePhotography

A little slice of beautiful Vernal Falls in #Yosemite 🩵 I wanted to get tighter framing on the falls to capture more of those wonderful details you could just stare at for hours.

I've been playing with these portals lately, which has been a fun experiment in looking at landscapes with a potential framing or negative space in mind. Also, I'm just a sucker for a lone tree on a hillside, let's face it 🌲

Twilight at Glacier Point was magical--can you spot the tiny headlamps of hikers in the landscape?

Caught the classic Tunnel View on a misty morning after the first fall storm of this year ❄️ Whenever the weather shifts in Yosemite National Park it always unveils some incredible scenery

All in the details 🔍 a little close up of Lower Yosemite Falls as we strolled the valley earlier this year. Staying at Yosemite Valley Lodge was a fascinating chance to be in the middle of it all, including a few minutes' stroll from this lovely view.
