Hallowed Ground

The lights, the shadows, the enormity of these everchanging giants.... to a certain degree, a spiritual experience. Death Valley, California, USA.

"All Legs"

Wild Horses, Tonto National Forest, Arizona, USA. Known by the name of the river which is part of their habitad, the "Salt River Wild Horses" technically are not "true" Mustangs. Over the years, irresponsible horse ownwers had abandonned their unwanted horses in the desert, where they stared interbreeding with the Mustangs. Their population stared to grow rapidly, calling by some for the horses"removal". The passionate outcry of many a horselover led to their protection and responsible management. It is a treat to watch these magestic creatures roam freely in the desert, which actually is close to one of the largest cities in Arizona.

The Sand Wave

Mesmerizingly beautiful, Utah offers a vast array of shapes, colors and textures in a never ending variety of completely different landscapes. My first trip there fully captivated me with its natural wonders.

Moody Skies

Photographing sand dunes during a sandstorm never is fun, but ending up with an image like this is! The light and the clouds during this sunset were otherwordly. (Original sky/RAW avialable). This image was challenging to process, not only because the light was quite low, but the blowing dust added graininess and noise to the image. To me, this was worth all the sand I ingested that evening. Death Valley, California, USA.
