Reverse Universe — Utah
Silhouetted against the blue hour sky are the Temple of the Sun and Moon. You will need a capable 4×4, high clearance vehicle and a set of eager hiking legs to arrive at this vista overlooking Cathedral Valley. It is estimated that fewer than 1% of visitors to Capitol Reef National Park visit this remote area. To complete the 60-mile Cathedral Valley Loop will take 6-8 hours. If you encounter a problem, help may not arrive for hours or even days depending on conditions. The journey to Cathedral Valley to see the temples is just as rewarding as the destination itself.

Juniper Sky — Utah
The high afternoon sun and blue sky cause this lone-standing Utah Juniper Tree stand out against a rugged and unforgiving terrain of the Waterpocket Folder area of Southern Utah. Juniper trees add only a small fraction of an inch to their trunk’s diameter every year. These slow growing trees may be small but they are well adapted to dry environments. Utah juniper trees are known to live beyond 650 years. While I don’t know the exact age of this particular juniper tree, I dare say it may be very old indeed.

Temple of the Sun — Utah
Visitors must cross flowing streams, dry washes, rock piles and sand pits on the way to Cathedral Valley. These giant eroded sandstone monoliths rise from the valley floor like an ancient place of worship. This particular geological feature is known as the Temple of the Sun. Nearby and out-of-frame the Temple of the Moon also inhabits this remote valley. It is estimated that less than 1% of visitors to the Capitol Reef National Park make the lengthy backcountry journey to Cathedral Valley.

False Reflection — Colorado
These trees may look like they’re reflecting off a calm body of water but they are actually growing somewhere, high on the slopes of Pike’s Peak in Colorado’s Front Range. The summit of Pike’s Peak is 14,107 feet. Experimenting with abstract photography in these landscapes was a lot of fun.

Worlds Apart — Utah
An abstract landscape captured near the Devil’s Garden area of Arches National Park. These two monolithic sandstone features caught my eye right away. I decided to experiment a little and came away with this otherworldly, in-camera photograph. No editing was applied to create the visual effects of this image.

Deadwood Mirror — Utah
Black against the sky and setting sun, these deadwood ponderosa pines still stand tall at Bryce Canyon National Park in Southern Utah. If I’m not mistaken, these pines burned in the Bridge Fire of 2009. The Bridge Fire started from a lightning strike in June in the Dixie National Forest. By July sparks had spread the fire to the park. In total, nearly 4,000 acres of forest burned.

Descending Spires — Utah
Even in October the late afternoon sun beats down hot and heavy on this western landscape. I discovered this scene near the Fiery Furnace area of Archest National Park. It lived up to its name. I will forever be captivated by the geology of the American west.

Bear Lake - Colorado
The glassy waters of this beautiful alpine lake in the Rocky Mountains rest at a surface elevation of 9,450 feet. Bear Lake is near the Continental Divide which separates America’s watersheds into Atlanta and Pacific drainage systems. Peering through the boughs of spruce and pine my camera’s eye fixated on the still waters.

Providence Canyon — Georgia
Red clay, white clay and Georgia pines - Visitors are drawn to this unusual Southwest Georgia phenomenon to explore the gullies and alcoves. Some locals refer to it as the “Little Grand Canyon”. The 150-foot deep gullies were formed in-part due to poor farming practices in the 19th century. There is some debate that the canyons are at least partially natural. Either way, it is a well known destination for many Georgians.

Lonesome Tree — New Mexico
A lonesome yet resilient tree carved out its existence in the arid gypsum dunes of White Sands National Park in New Mexico. The poignancy of its locale is what attracted me to capture this photo. It felt like I was taking a portrait of the tree. Although the tree is relatively small, for all I know, it could actually be quite old. It can sometimes be hard to distinguish these sort things in desert regions. It is a Rio Grande Cottonwood tree.

Santa Elena Canyon - Texas & Mexico Border
The Rio Grande flows through the Santa Elena Canyon at Big Bend National Park. In this photo, the cliffs to the left are in the Mexican state of Chihuahua while the cliffs on the right are in the United States. The river was shallow enough to walk across the borderline.

White Sands — New Mexico
Like an anomaly, the white gypsum sand dunes sprawl across the Chihuahuan Desert landscape. Here at White Sands National Park the remote Tularosa Basin is flanked by the San Andres Mountains and the Oscura Mountains to the west and the Sacramento Mountains to the east.

Ripple — New Mexico
The ancient Lake Otero once occupied the Tularosa Basin eons ago. The lake dried up as the regional climate changed, leaving behind crystalized gypsum marls. Prevailing winds pushed and polished this materials to the northeast to form the white sand dunes here today. Creeping sand covers trees as the dunes shift slowly throughout time. There were no footprints.

Shadowland — Utah
Evening sunlight casts long shadows, revealing the colors of the desert landscape. I particularly liked the large crisp-leaf wild buckwheat plant in the center foreground. Sagebrush, galleta grass and juniper trees scatter the remaining visible tableland. In the distance are the Orange Cliffs at Canyonlands National Park in Southern Utah.

Devil’s Garden — Utah
Part of the Devil’s Garden district in Arches National Park, these sandstone rock fins stand like monuments in the desert landscape. Yes, there is a “normal” photo of this landscape somewhere in my files but the abstract one captured me instantaneously. I looked at the back of the camera and knew I wanted to offer this one as a print.
