This photo depicts the famous Haystack Rock on the Oregon coast. A large black rock rises out of the ocean, surrounded by smaller, pointed rocks. There is a haze on the water making it look dreamy and slightly blurred. In the foreground, a father and son bicycle across the sand. The tide is out and the beach is shiny with water.

For #mountainmonday, driving through Independence Pass, CO yesterday. Such a beautiful drive and we were treated to some nice fall colors!

This photo depicts a mountain pass in Colorado. A field of yellow, orange, and green bushes stretches backwards to green rolling hills, and blue mountains in the distance. The light is soft and hazy, giving the photo a dreamlike, “autumny” feel.

Happy #scape day! Here’s an autumn sunset in the Mojave desert. Part of my “Shots Out The Car Window” series. Taken on 10/8/25, while headed out to a favorite campsite.

This photo depicts a high desert mountain range at sunset. In the foreground is desert vegetation, including Joshua trees and shrubs. In the distance red sandstone mountains glow under the last light of day, while the rest of the landscape is in shadow. The sky above the mountains is light orange with darker orange clouds.

An #OrangeSun sunset from Juan, Switzerland. 😍 This was taken near the Chalet Du Soldat, which is a mountain hut that can be accessed via a chairlift and a hike to the summit. Such a beautiful area!

Westward bound! Driving out to CA today, so here’s a shot from one of my favorite drives out west, Mount Blue Sky in Colorado. This is the highest paved drive in the continental US, reaching 14,266 feet!

Happy #scape day! Here’s a dramatic foggy day in the Austrian mountains near Innsbruck! Definitely one of my favorite areas to visit! And this photo felt perfect for October!

This is a black and white photo depicting a mountain range covered in pine trees. White fog drifts over the mountains on the left side of the frame and the top right corner of the frame. It is a dark and dramatic scene perfect for October.

That moment your long exposure goes awry and you capture the rampaging #ghost in the sky! Some fun, #wackyWednesdayArt to start your #Spooktober ! These shots were taken in Bryce Canyon National Park.

This photo was an attempt at a long exposure shot of the stars and Milky Way galaxy. The camera was knocked over mid shot so the sky is a blur that resembles a pale ghostly monster running through the sky.

This photo depicts the Milky Way galaxy floating above hoodoo rock formations in Bryce Canyon National Park. The rock formations start at the lower left of the frame and rise diagonally towards the top right. The Milky Way is centered in the frame and has an orange and purple glow.

Adding ALT Text Here: This photo depicts a black and white cow, standing on a mountain side at sunset. There are a few pine trees framing the cow, and the sky behind it is a mix of light blue and pink clouds, with golden sunset light beaming through.

Happy #BlueSkyMonday and #PinkMon everybody! Wishing you all a great week! Here’s a cute cow I met while hiking in Switzerland. She seemed happy to pose for a sunset glamour shot!

Happy #BlueSkyMonday with just a dash of #PinkMon in the clouds! Here’s a shot from the Arch Rock area of Joshua Tree! One of my favorite locations in the park, as you can scramble around the rock formations and canyons for hours!

This photo depicts a rock formation of rounded boulders in the near distance. The photo is framed through a hole in another rock. It is nearing sunset and the sky is a light blue with a few pink clouds around the edges of the rocks.

Happy weekend everybody! Here’s another one from Oregon, the Tioga Bridge, in the Umpqua National Forest. I love the #angles of this bridge! I have such admiration for bridge architects and their beautiful designs!

This photo depicts a beautiful bridge of reddish colored wood, leading into a dark green pine forest. The bridge has an arch across the top, made of triangular sections. It has recently rained, and the bridge is wet. A reflection of the arch is visible in the water on the walkway of the bridge.
