Mont Chaberton B&W
Mount Chaberton in France (3,131 m / 10,272 ft) rises above the clouds as seen from atop Monte Fraiteve above the ski town of Sestriere in Italy.
On the summit of Mount Chaberton are the remains of the highest fortress in Europe, built by the Italians before World War I. Although the "Battleship in the Clouds" wasn't used in WWI, it was rearmed in World War II under Mussolini's regime and bombarded French positions near Briançon in June of 1940. Once the cloudy weather cleared, French artillery were able to respond and successfully destroyed most of the fort's turrets. At the end of the war, Charles de Gaulle demanded the symbolic mountain, and by the Treaty of Paris between Italy and the Allied Powers, the border was moved so that Mount Chaberton became French territory.

The Weisshorn (4,505 m) is one of the most prominent peaks in this region of the Swiss Alps, standing tall above the Rhône valley. From many perspectives up and down the Valais, Weisshorn looks to be the most striking mountain, while the much more famous Matterhorn (4,478 m) often hides behind.

Frauenkirche Triptych
Sunset, dusk, and twilight photos of the spectacular Frauenkirche in Dresden, Germany.
This Baroque church was built in the 18th Century as a sign of the will of the citizens of Dresden to
remain Protestant after their ruler had converted to Catholicism. It was destroyed (along with much of Dresden) in the Allied firebombing of Dresden towards the end of World War II in 1945. The remaining ruins were left for nearly 50 years as a war memorial, but following the reunification of Germany the church was rebuilt from 1994 to 2005. About 4,000 original stone blocks were salvaged and reused in the reconstruction; these older stones are covered with a darker patina, due to fire damage and weathering. Read more about the history and reconstruction of the Frauenkirche here.

Island Fox
A Catalina Island fox (Urocyon littoralis catalinae) gazes back at the camera before scurrying away. These cute little foxes are endemic to Catalina Island off the coast of southern California and exist nowhere else in the world. They are smaller than mainland foxes, about the size of house cat. In late 1999, an outbreak of distemper virus caused the fox population to plummet to just 100 animals, and the fox was declared an endangered sub-species in 2004. After 15 years of work by wildlife biologists, the population has rebounded to over 1,800 foxes, one of the fastest recoveries ever of an endangered species (source).

https://www.mountainphotography.com/images/xl/20240920-Chasm-Sunrise.jpg
Chasm Sunrise
A breathtaking sunrise from Chasm View as the first warm rays of sunlight illuminate The Diamond, the sheer granite east face of Longs Peak (14,259 ft / 4346 m). This massive face is one of the largest alpine rock walls in Colorado and a world famous climb first ascended by Dave Rearick and Bob Kamps in 1960.
It is difficult to convey the sheer scale of this scene, which is a panorama of stitched vertical photos from a very wide angle 14mm lens. Even with such a wide lens shot in vertical orientation, I still could not fit the entire base of the wall in the frame!
Also worth mentioning is how terrifying it was to photograph this scene at the edge of a sheer abyss. In fact the wall directly below me appeared to be tilted past vertical, and glancing over the edge was nearly heart-stopping even though I don't have an acute fear of heights. I placed my tripod right on the edge with one leg extended out towards me where I could hold it from a distance, laid down back from the edge, and reached out as far as I could with my arms to control the camera. The adrenaline of being at this precipitous spot combined with the elation of witnessing a spectacular sunrise here made for quite an exhilarating morning shoot!

The camera's sensitive sensor and long exposures reveal lunar alpenglow colors on the peak that were much dimmer to the naked eye in person. So while this isn't a truly "natural" rendition of the scene as witnessed, I still think it's a compelling photo!

Storm Over Taos Pueblo
Ominous thunderclouds build over Taos Pueblo, one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The buildings were likely constructed between 1000-1450 A.D. and are still inhabited today by about 150 Tiwa speaking Puebloan people.
Interestingly, the buildings originally had few windows and no standard doorways; access to rooms was through square holes in the roof that the people reached by climbing long, wooden ladders. In case of an attack, outside ladders could easily be pulled up. You can read more about the Taos Pueblo here and here.

Conglomerate Rock
Much of the Sangre de Cristo Range is composed of this unique conglomerate rock, which contains rounded, river eroded stones seemingly cemented together. These old rounded stones originated as eroded debris from the long gone Ancestral Rockies, deposited in alluvial fans and deltas where the matrix of mud and stones hardened into solid rock over millions of years. This rock was later thrust upwards around 15-5 million years ago, forming the mountain range we see today.

Grossglockner in Winter
A distant view of Grossglockner, the highest mountain in Austria at 3,798 m / 12,460 ft tall, as seen from the west from the top of the ski area at St Jakob in Defereggental - February. The Stüdlhütte (where we stayed on a hut trek through the Hohe Tauern in September 2022) is just visible as a tiny rectangle in a distant saddle on the right side of the photo.

Winter on Hintertux Glacier
Olperer (3476 m / 11,404 ft) overlooks the Hintertux Glacier on a windy day in late January. According to Wikipedia, the glacier is up to 120 meters (390 ft) thick at its deepest, though this will undoubtedly shrink in the coming years as the glaciers in the Alps melt away.
During the winter, snowcats plow these series of large berms over wide expanses of the glacier between the ski pistes; I surmise that the purpose is to act as wind fences to catch as much snow as possible to boost the snowpack and prolong the life of the glacier. Indeed, in just a week or so I've seen these berms fill up with windblown snow (for instance, see the mostly buried berms on the far right side of the photo). Further evidence of care for this glacier is visible in Google Earth, where you can see that in the summertime large sections of the glacier are wrapped in white coverings to shield them from the sun.

Constellation of Climbers
On this September evening, the headlamps of about 20 climbers are visible at various heights on the 3,000-vertical-foot granite wall of El Capitan.
Earlier this evening, my wife and I were sitting here along the Merced River, enjoying a bottle of wine while I was shooting photos of the afternoon and sunset light on El Cap. We didn't have binoculars but we could pick out about four groups of climbers on the wall and watched them slowly progress up their routes. After sunset I stuck around a half hour longer to keep photographing El Cap in the after-glow light, and that's when I started seeing dozens of headlamps spread over the wall - many more climbers than we could see in the daylight! So I stayed there even longer after dark taking "star" shots of the constellation of climbers on the wall! Such a cool and unexpected experience.

Ring of Fire
The October 2023 solar eclipse "Ring of Fire" annular totality over the Valley of the Gods in Bears Ears National Monument. During an annular eclipse the moon is farther away from the Earth so when it passes in front of the Sun, its size in the sky is slightly smaller than the Sun's, leaving a visible circle called the "Ring of Fire".
The sky didn't actually get this dark in real life (unless you looked through solar glasses), but a gradient blend like this was the only way I could combine the extreme exposure range to show the whole scene. That said, I would say that the final image gives a decent expression of how it felt being there, putting the solar glasses on and off. Once the eclipse got going the light did get noticeably dimmer, and the temperature got colder and I had to put my jacket back on.
The annular totality only lasted a few minutes; it was mind bending to see a perfect circle up in the sky, like we were living in a simulation for a moment there.

Morning view of the Sneffels Range, from high above "The Amphitheater" above the Uncompahgre Gorge and the town of Ouray, Colorado.Most of the purple-gray mountains you see here are composed of volcanic ash deposited around 30 million years ago when this was a region of strato-volcanos and enormous calderas. You can see the flat layering of the ash deposits running horizontally through the mountains in this photo. The land was subsequently uplifted then later carved by icefields of the Ice Age, when all these valleys were full of glaciers. The crumbly volcanic rock has been eroded into convoluted formations like the fins and hoodoos here in The Amphitheater, for example.

These two reservoirs are held back by some of Austria's tallest dams, which were constructed starting during World War II using prisoners of war from Belgium and Jewish and Soviet forced laborers. Construction was halted in 1943, then restarted after the war in 1947 by Allied-occupied Austria. Built with American equipment and massive help from the Marshall Plan, the dams and hydroelectric power plant became an icon of post-war reconstruction, and are now a popular tourist attraction as well.

The Kalser Tauernhaus alpine hut is located in the Dorfertal valley in Hohe Tauern National Park. Built in 1928-1930, in the 1970's and 80's the hut and the entire Dorfertal valley were threatened by a proposed hydroelectric reservoir project, which wasn't withdrawn until 1989. Perhaps ironically, the hut is now powered by its own small scale hydroelectric power generator. (Source, and historical photos)

Perhaps the most rugged mountain range in Colorado, the Needle Mountains are composed of pink granite (visible also in the foreground here) forged from ~1.5 billion year old Precambrian basement rock - much older than the ~30 million year old volcanic rock that forms much of the rest of the surrounding San Juan Mountains.

Dolores Canyon Sunset
Brilliant sunset light streams under the clouds as the Dolores River streams below.
The Dolores River flows southwest from its headwaters at Lizard Head Pass in the San Juan Mountains near Telluride, but as it exits the mountains it takes a sharp turn to the north, flowing through scenic but relatively unknown canyon country along the western border of Colorado. One particularly magnificent stretch of this river canyon is encompassed by the Dolores River Canyon Wilderness Study Area, established in 1980 by the Bureau of Land Managment (BLM). With redrock sandstone cliffs rising over 1,000 feet above the river, bighorn sheep, ancient petrogyphs, and so much more, this area has scenic beauty and pristine wilderness character to rival national parks in Utah, yet it remains unprotected and indeed threatened by industrial development.
The very canyon bottom you see in the photo above is the exact site of a proposed salt injection facility, along with an access road and two bridges spanning the river along the way. (Read more here and here). If this unthinkable sacrifice were to happen, Coloradans would lose a premier canyon wilderness for generations.
In February of 2021, The Colorado Wilderness Act was reintroduced to U.S. Congress and would finally protect the Dolores River Canyon as a designated wilderness area (along with a number of other critical areas needing protection). The act was passed through the House that same month, but has languished in the typical Senate gridlock since then. Will the Dolores Canyon get the protection it deserves and remain unspoiled? I, for one, sincerely hope so.

Comet NEOWISE above Potosi Peak and the Sneffels Range. Discovered in March 2020, this comet circles the sun in a parabolic orbit every 6800 years, and it's closest distant to Earth is 64 million miles in July 2020.
The magenta and green colors in the sky are airglow, the orange light on the horizon behind the mountains is from the city of Montrose to the north, and the light in the valley is from a mining operation below Potosi Peak. Mount Sneffels (14,150 ft.) is on the left.

Geologists say that during the Ice Age about 2 million years ago, the Sawatch Range was almost completely covered with ice sheet and glaciers, with only the highest ridges emerging through the ice. When overlooking the vast expanse of Missouri Basin, it's easy to imagine it filled with a broad glacier in the not-so-distant geologic past.

Wetterhorn Peak (14,015 ft.) rises 4,800 vertical feet above the Cow Creek valley, one of the most remote and rugged corners of the San Juan Mountains (or entire Colorado, for that matter). Back in 2008 I had the great idea to bushwhack all the way up Cow Creek, only to be turned around by a dead end waterfall and cliffs; you can read my trip report of these three grueling days of Cow Creek exploration here. I will never go back in there again; this is one of those places that's better to admire from afar!

Passing through narrows so tight that you can feel the walls pressing against your back and stomach as you squeeze through. To spice things up even more, the canyon walls were crawling with a type of daddy longlegs spiders; in some places there were dozens or even hundreds of them on the wall, and we had no choice but to squeeze by with our noses mere inches away as they extended their legs trying to feel our faces. It felt like a scene from an Indiana Jones movie.

Moqui Marbles
"Moqui marbles" are small rock balls that cover areas of whiter Navajo Sandstone in many parts of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. These balls are composed of hard iron oxide outer rings surrounding a softer sandstone core and were formed underground around 2-5 million years ago when iron materials precipitated from flowing groundwater. Red sandstone gets its color from iron oxide that coats the sand grains; in white sandstone the iron oxide was dissolved by certain hydrocarbons or acids flowing through the sandstone, which then precipitated in certain spots forming the marbles. Once the softer sandstone eroded over the eons, the harder marbles were left on the surface.According to Hopi legend, the Hopi ancestors' spirits return to Earth at night to play marble games and leave them there in the mornings to reassure their relatives that they are happy and content.Similar but smaller concretions called "Martian blueberries" were discovered on Mars in 2004 by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, providing some of the first evidence for water in Mars' ancient past. Just like in Escalante, the "blueberries" were found scattered on the ground and embedded in rock outcroppings.Read more about Moqui marbles here.

From left to right, the three spires are Torre Sur De Agostini (2850m), Torre Central (2800m), and Torre Norte Monzino (2600m). To get a sense of massive scale of these peaks, consider that the lake sits at an elevation of about 850m, meaning that these peaks here rise a sheer 2000m (~6500 ft) above the lake!

Black Canyon Moonlight
Moonlight illuminates the north rim of the Black Canyon, as seen from Cedar Point - September. The photo was a long exposure taken after dusk, more like late twilight when the scene was actually mostly dark. The light on the canyon wall is moonlight and the long exposure shows the last light of dusk on the western horizon still reflecting on the bottoms of the far distant clouds, as well as the motion of the clouds as they moved overhead during the exposure. Overall, the long exposure and camera sensitivity shows the whole scene quite a bit brighter than what I actually saw at the time, which is partly what makes the photo so intriguing.

Scrambling up Crestone Needle
Scrambling up the spicy South Couloir of Crestone Needle. This is the standard route up the Needle, one of Colorado's most challenging fourteeners to climb. Although it looks like the couloir is full of loose rock, it's actually all solid conglomerate rock -- like ancient river rocks all stuck together in cement. The climbing is exposed but at least there are bomber handholds everywhere!

I poked a bunch of pinholes in a sheet of paper and the eclipse was clearly visible in the light/shadows cast through the holes.

https://www.mountainphotography.com/images/xl/20170823-Sole-Survivor.jpg
Sole Survivor
In the last decade the forests of the eastern San Juans have been devasted by pine spruce beetle kill. Spruce beetles burrow under the tree bark and introduce a blue stain fungus that blocks water and nutrient transport within the tree, thus killing it. The beetles are a natural part of the forest, normally playing an important role of attacking old and weak trees, thus aiding development of younger trees.
However, what's not natural is this kind of widespread annihilation of entire forests that's happening these days. This is yet another alarming sign of the effects of climate change. As average temperatures rise, the forests experience less and less prolonged deep freezes during the winters which are necessary to kill the beetles and keep their population in check. Milder winters, hotter drier summers, and a century of forest fire suppression have all combined to weaken the forests, allowing the beetles to continue to spread until the forest is almost totally wiped out. The unprecedented outbreak of beetle kill in the last decade is happening throughout not only Colorado but across much of the West, in what might be the largest forest insect blight ever seen in North America.

Dachstein Fossil
Along the Linzersteig -- and in much of the limestone rock of the Dachstein -- are millions of fossils of ancient Megalodon sea creatures dating from the Triassic times (roughly 250 million years ago). These horseshoe-shaped bivalve fossils are referred to as Kuhtritte, or "cattle footprints". They are about the size of your hand or larger and are all over the place, oftentimes arranged in the hundreds or thousands across the rock.

A new resident of the Ingolstädterhütte was Sep, a newborn lamb who recently became the hut pet. Apparently somebody found this lamb in a small meadow somewhere below the hut and its mother had died during birth. Not knowing what else to do, they brought the lamb up to the hut where it roamed around getting petted by all the kids and following around the hut workers who fed him and were taking care of him. I'm not sure what will happen to Sep; perhaps someday soon the farmer will come up and get him.

To me this was a classic Alaskan setting -- or at least how I had imagined it to be -- with tundra extending as far as the eye can see and rugged glaciated mountains beyond. This spot here was the nearest road to any of the mountains you can see in the distance. True wilderness.

We spent a night at a campground near Tok along the way, with autumn colors starting to show in late August.

Sunset view of Berg Lake, Mount Robson (right) and Rearguard Mountain (left). The Robson Glacier is visible in the left valley; from this perspective you can really see how much the glacier has deflated and receded, now thousands of feet lower than its recent moraines. The Robson Glacier is receding approximately 15m / 52ft. each year; 100 years ago it extended to about where the thicker forest is next to the stream directly below Rearguard Mountain.

The Precambrian gneiss and schist that make up the majority of the steep walls of the Black Canyon formed 1.7 billion years ago, though the canyon itself started being carved about 2-3 million years ago.

When Denali is covered in clouds (which is most of the time) you can't tell where the peak is or how big it is. But when the clouds break up and Denali emerges, its massive scale is mind-boggling, like a Himalayan peak got misplaced in Alaska. This is the view from Kesugi Ridge across the valley from Denali.

A 180º panoramic vista looking from southeast to northwest from near the summit of Mount Temple (11624 ft / 3543 m). The brilliant turquoise Moraine Lake (where I started hiking) is visible over 5,000 feet below on the left side; on the right is Horseshoe Lakes. Though it's hard to see in this small web picture, in the full resolution panorama image you can see an endless sea of rugged peaks. This might be one of the most incredible summit views I've ever witnessed!

Looking southwest from near the summit of Mount Temple. Pinnacle Mountain and Eiffel Peak are in the center, Deltaform Mountain is the triangular one on the left, Mount Hungabee on the right. The rugged peak in the left distance is Mount Goodsir. Not only are all these peaks around here incredibly rugged, but they have a very unique and attractive character as well.

Stormy Goosenecks
A nasty storm approaches the Goosenecks of the San Juan River, as seen from Goosenecks State Park overlook on the southern end of Cedar Mesa in southeastern Utah. Â Moments later the rain started falling for the rest of the evening.The San Juan River, which originates from the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado, slowly flows through the 1000 foot deep canyon walls, forming one of the world's best examples of entrenched river meanders. This is one river in the photo - it flows from left to right via three immense meandering curves.

A look inside an Ancestral Puebloan kiva with a still-intact roof after approximately 1000-700 years.
* Please note that I did NOT enter this kiva, which would be a foolish thing to do and could possibly damage the ancient structure. I carefully pointed my camera through a gap below the roof, and my ultra-wide lens makes it look like a view from inside.

Sipapu Bridge
Sipapu Bridge spans the White Canyon. With a height of 220 feet and length of 225 feet, Sipapu Bridge is the second longest natural bridge in the world (after Rainbow Bridge) and the seventh longest arch if you consider it an arch. A natural bridge is formed by erosion from a creek or river that eventually runs underneath it, while arches are formed by erosion from seepage, sand, and/or wind.
*Full disclosure: Utilizing my official artistic license, I have taken the liberty of photoshopping out some metal handrails that exist to help people walk down the steep slickrock here.

Racetrack Curves
The Racetrack is a mysterious and fascinating location in Death Valley National Park - a flat dry lakebed playa in a remote desert valley where large rocks seem to have moved around by their own volition, leaving random tracks in the dry mud revealing their path. How did these rocks move? The theory is that given just the right conditions, rain will flood the playa, then freeze, and then once the ice starts melting a little, strong winds will blow the ice-bound rocks around on the slick mud underneath. It's hard to believe, but the tracks are there - something made these rocks slide all around the playa!
These particular tracks - illuminated by the setting moon - are especially interesting. At first glance I assumed that they were car tracks - that some idiot had driven his car out there. Upon closer inspection, it's clear that no car in the world could make tracks like this! Even more mysterious is that about a hundred feet away from these tracks are an almost exactly identical pattern, but aligned facing a different orientation.

Glaciar Perito Moreno Panorama
The Perito Moreno Glacier near El Calafate is one of about seven or eight glaciers that flow out from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field into large turquoise lakes on the Argentina side. This glacier is unique because as it flows out from the mountains into Lago Argentino, it smashes directly into a peninsula of land. So, from this peninsula you get this incredible front-and-center view of the snout of the glacier, and you can watch chunks and columns of the glacier crashing into the lake.

Konkordia Ladders
Climbing the ladders up to the Konkordia Hut. The hut was originally built in 1877 at a level of 50m above the Aletsch Glacier. Since then the glacier has since receded over 100m more, so over the years an elaborate series of metal staircases have been built downwards to scale the 150m (~500 ft) vertical cliff between the hut and the shrinking glacier!
As you hike up the staircase there are plaques along the way that mark where the glacier level used to be at certain dates in the past.

Rock glaciers are a unique characteristic of the San Juans; they form when water trickles down and freezes between high-altitude talus accumulations. Some rock glaciers, like this one probably, have ice cores and move downslope at rates of a several inches per year as the ice core flows similar to true glaciers. In the photo above the flow patterns are clearly visible on the rock surface.

A great campsite in a tributary of the Escalante River, under a huge sandstone alcove. This is where over the millenia the drainage has carved a huge undercut into the cliff wall, leaving a flat sandy bench with a massive arching sandstone ceiling! This was our basecamp for three nights as we explored the nearby canyons.

Golden Cathedral Lightshow
At the head this tributary canyon of the Escalante River, is a small pond underneath a large alcove. Several holes have been eroded through a horizontal layer in the alcove, forming a very unique series of natural bridges through which water flows during floods. On sunny days the light shines into the canyon and through these holes, bouncing off the water of the pond and casting strange reflections on the sandstone ceiling of the alcove. My friends and I spent hours there tossing rocks into the pond to create different reflection patterns. Such fun!

Slot Passage
Amazing slot formations a remote and seldom visited canyon similar to the famous and oft-photographed Antelope Canyon, but without the crowds. I was all by myself down here, spending most of the day lost in a daydream, wandering up and down the canyon and photographing the interesting formations.As most photographers who have been in slot canyons know, the best time to photograph them is during the 3-4 hours around midday on a clear sunny day, when the sunlight filters in and bounces around in the deep narrow slots, illuminating the walls with otherworldly glowing hues. Â As the sun moves through the sky, the bounce light changes dramatically in the slots, sometimes in a matter of minutes. Â This allows for hours of fun finding photos in canyons like this.I also have a version of this photo without the hiker, if you're interested.

The San Juan River, which originates from the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado, slowly flows through the 1000 foot deep canyon walls, forming one of the world's best examples of entrenched river meanders. This is one river in the photo - it flows from left to right via three immense meandering curves. It is a very impressive sight to see, and to portray the full scene with all the different river bends, I needed to create this stitched panoramic image.

Pictographs on the canyon wall. Keep in mind that these are basically in the middle of nowhere, in the desert wilderness, so it’s really something to see this here and to imagine people living in this area. Don’t quote me on the specifics, but the various pictographs in this long inhabited location near a reliable spring range in age from 2000-600 years old.

A hidden ruin overlooks colorful autumn cottonwoods on the canyon floor. I saw at least a dozen ruin sites during my hike, and who knows how many more I missed along the way. Many of the ruins are perched high up on inaccessible canyon walls; others like this one are more easily accessed with a bit of slickrock scrambling.

Perfect Kiva
This was my favorite ruin site I saw during my trip in Grand Gulch - a perfectly preserved kiva set in an overhanging cliff amphitheater. I’d imagine that the overhanging cliff site not only provided safety from attacks from above, but also provided natural shelter from the sun, and occasional rain.

Supposedly this kiva was discovered intact in the 1890s, but by the 1970s the roof was starting to collapse. Restoration efforts were undertaken to reinforce the roof so now you can go down inside. It felt calm, cool, and comfortable in there, and interestingly it smelled really good too!

Night Kiva
It's strange enough just being in the desert canyon wilderness to begin with, but when I was at these kiva ruins this evening I could feel the mysterious caveman essence of it all. I tried some interesting lighting effects to try to portray the scene as it may have looked if people still inhabited the site.I got the foreground glow by shining my headlamp on the cliff wall behind me - during the 60 second exposure the indirect light provided nice bounce light to softly illuminate the scene. I combined that exposure with another one where I climbed down the ladder and shined the lamp around the interior of the kiva to provide that glow, as if people were inside.

I scrambled up this rugged peak late in the evening and watched the sunset at about 11:30pm or so. On the hike down I had no need for a headlamp, as the constant nighttime sunset provided ample light to see my way. By the time I got back down to my tent the sun was rising again!

This place was one of the more unique landscapes I've seen on Earth - an immense secluded beach surrounded on both sides by sheer granite peaks.
When I first arrived at the beach, I kicked off my boots to go for a wade in the water. One ankle-deep step into the frigid water painfully froze my foot and I jumped back to the dry sand where I spent the next 10 minutes trying to rub away the numbness. Stupid me.

Hamnøya Rorbus
The tiny fishing village of Hamnøya, near Reine, is typical of the towns of the Lofoten Islands, with lots of little rorbus, or fishermen shacks, huddled together in a vertical landscape.

These quaint little grass-roofed cabins look like a troll village; actually I think they are summer cabins for farmers up at Haukåssætra high above the town of Urke and the Norangsfjorden.

Eikesdalsvatnet
Though Eikesdalsvatnet looks more like a fjord, it is actually a lake separated from seawater by only several kilometers of land. Â The surrounding mountains rise roughly 1500m (~5000 ft.) above the lake.

Lofoten Night
In the middle of the night in July north of the Arctic Circle, sunset and sunrise blend together seamlessly. This is about as dark as it gets. I took this photo on the way down from Hermannsdalstinden mountain at about 1:00 at night; I had watched the sunset from the summit, and by the time I got back to my tent at the bottom, the sunrise was already rising again.
There's a natural optical illusion in this photo: Though it almost looks like one body of water here, the lake pictured in the center is actually 1,000 feet higher than the fjord behind - with a sheer drop and waterfall in between.

Storm clouds clear off the massive Trollveggen face, as seen from the top of the Trollstinden, far above the Romsdalen valley near Andalsnes.
I hiked up this mountain (a 1000m, or 3300 ft. hike) in the dark three pre-dawn mornings in a row to catch the best light on this incredible mountain. This photo here, as well as this one, are the fruits of that labor.

Trollveggen Dawn
Dawn glow illuminates the massive east face of Trollstinden, which towers almost 6,000 vertical feet over the Romsdalen valley. The famous (amongst climbers) Trollveggen, or "Troll Wall", is just on the other side of this spire. It's the tallest vertical mountain face in Europe, with a sheer, in some parts overhanging, 1000m (3,300 ft.) wall.
Needless to say, it was quite a spine-tingling experience to shoot right on the edge of a vertical mile drop off. This was shot at 7mm; the bottom-right corner of the frame is basically looking straight down.
For three mornings in a row I repeated the rugged 3,000-foot hike in the pre-dawn darkness up the west side of the mountain to this spot until I finally got clear enough eastern skies to get some good dawn glow on this peak.

Skåla rises 1848m (6,063 ft.) directly up from the Nordfjord, and thus holds the designation as the tallest mountain in Europe that rises directly from sea level. The reward for the grueling hike up the mountain, besides the awesome views of the Jostedalsbreen mountain range, is a summit hut where you can spend the night in comfort.

This may have been the most ridiculous weather conditions I've ever shot my 4x5 camera in, with howling wind and blowing snow and my tripod resting on icy rocks. Knowing that the camera was shaking and the photo would surely be blurry, I almost didn't bother to take a photo. By some miracle, this one actually turned out tack sharp!

This photo was taken on an eerily calm day (you can see the lake is still). The clouds looked stormy, but nothing was happening. The whole atmosphere had a strange calm feeling, like being in the eye of a storm. Sure enough, during my hike back from here that same day, the wind unleashed with fury, as if trying to make up for lost opportunities.

I had spent this entire day hiking around the whole basin, enduring the relentless wind and blowing snow. Shooting this photo was a challenge in the strong wind; I could only shoot from behind large rock windbreaks! At the time, it seemed like a suffer-fest, but now I look back on it as a highlight of my trip - exploring this immense basin, with its fresh glacial moraines, remote lakes, and the ever-present serrated peaks towering above.

West Beckwith Aspens
Autumn vista of the golden aspens on the slopes of West Beckwith Mountain, as seen from the summit ridge of Marcellina Mountain - October. The Kebler Pass road is barely visible far below in the lower left.I had quite an adventure after taking this photo. Hiking up Marcellina Mountain requires a long and tricky bushwack through thick and featureless fields of aspens - similar terrain to what you see here. Since this was my second hike up here in a week, I was feeling confident that I could find my way back down in the dark, so I waited for sunset to photograph these vast fields of golden aspens in the late day light.However, once the sun set, it got really really dark since there was no moon at all. With only my headlamp to light up a short distance, I had a very hard time recognizing the features of the route, and I ended up spending half the night crashing around through the aspens with only my compass to guide me. I ended up hiking two miles too far by the time I hit Kebler Pass Road, and then had to walk another extra two miles back up the road to get to my truck.Being relatively lost and barging through the aspens and bushes in the pitch dark was somewhat of a nightmare scenario, but I was able to maintain a calm and collected attitude, which I think really helped me out of this jam.Despite the difficulties of hiking Marcellina, the view from the summit is stunning since it towers above some of the planet's largest aspen groves.

Sunrise light in the bizarre formations of the Wheeler Geologic Area near Creede - September. Unlike the other mountain ranges of Colorado, the San Juans have a volcanic history. Between 35 - 5 million years ago, the San Juans consisted of large stratovolcanoes and calderas which smothered the land with enormous flows of volcanic ash that consolidated over time into thick layers of tuff. The exposed and eroded tuff at the Wheeler Geologic Area is a prime example. The nearby present day town of Creede is located right over one of the ancient calderas, which is still visible in the topography in satellite images.

This was during a three night backpacking loop through Grand Teton National Park. It had been overcast and drizzling all day long, but I set up my camera anyways just before sunset time, just in case. Sure enough, I started noticing hints of warmer light on the peaks, and within five minutes, the sun dropped into a gap between the thick cloud cover and horizon, lighting up the peaks like a fiery spotlight. It was some of the most amazing light I've ever witnessed.

Dubrovnik is a historic walled city along the Adriatic Sea on the southern coast of Croatia. In 1991 during the Croatian War of Independence the town was bombarded by Montenegrin forces in the Siege of Dubrovnik. The bombed buildings have since been restored and the town is once again a popular tourist destination. This photo is from on top of the wall, looking into the old city.

Sunset Over Vail Valley
Sunset over Vail valley from high in the Gore Range, Eagles Nest Wilderness.
On this evening in March, I took advantage of unseasonally warm weather by camping up high above treeline. During some tricky routefinding through the snowpacked forest I inadvertantly started hiking up a broad ridgeline instead of up the valley to a lake where I originally intended to spend the night. It turned out great though, as I found a nice campspot along the ridge, sheltered by a huge winddrift. Spending the night high on a snowy mountainside with beautiful weather and endless views is a rare treat.
