Scenics

I enjoy wandering the less populated areas of the U.S.
Here are some scenic views I enjoy.
All images are links to larger presentations of the image.

. Badlands
of South Dakota
What otherwise might be perceived as dull gray clay
shows colors in the pre dawn light
Here I lucked out in that the clouds
echo the rythmn of the clay layers.

. Moonset
over the Badlands.
It is worth watching the calendar.
Luckily the clouds parted just before dawn

. Snow on Cottonwoods The subtle tones and rhythm cause joy.
This IS a color photograph.

. Aspen and snow Morning near Telluride Colorado.
The shade of the mountains let the blue of the sky show on the snow.
The interplay of opposite colors ( blue, yellow) is what makes this rhythm study work.

. Sand Dunes
Stovepipe Wells, Death Valley, dawn
It is easy to get wrapped up in the play of light on sand,
a wider view can also be worth while.

. D.V. View
From Zabrinski point, Death Valley
The hiker in the red jacket adds just the right
visual stopping place, and adds to the desolation.

. Bad Water
Death Valley
Yes I drove 1200 miles for 3 minutes of color,
and many other images also.

. Dawn, Grand Teatons
3 minutes before sunrise, and the Snake River; autumn
You can see the begining of the downburst
