Yin and Yang
Sometimes, it all comes together: the right time and light of day creates the most beautiful shapes and patterns in the dunes, a gentle wind kicks up just enough sand to bring the finishing touch to an already dramatic scene .
Desert Dawning
Bronze Award, 2021 360PhotoAwards, Landscape category. Another glorious morning in the desert. As the sun was rising, the clouds to the east parted just enough to let this magical light shine through, perfectly illuminating White Pocket.
After the Fall

Oculus

Scripps Pier is probably one of the most photographed piers, and with good reason. No matter what time of day, lighting or tide level conditions you encounter, this pier always finds a way to draw you in. On this particular day, the patterns in the sand were simply stunning.
Serenity
The Standout
