A lava lake bubbles beneath the rim of KÄ«lauea Caldera, illuminating the thick smoky clouds under a billion stars of the Milky Way. In Hawaiian mythology, KÄ«lauea is the body of the deity Pele, goddess of fire, lightning, wind, and volcanoes.
This image was captured in March of 2018, a mere eight weeks before the lava lake suddenly drained, triggering a massive eruption from multiple vents to the east. For five months, rivers of lava destroyed 716 dwellings in three areas all the way to the ocean before it subsided.

The Tetons and the Snake River (2024)
In 1941 the National Park Service commissioned photographer Ansel Adams to provide photographs of protected lands within National Parks to display as murals to decorate the Department of the Interior Building in Washington, DC.
In the early summer of 1942, Ansel stood at this very location and captured his famous image entitled 'The Tetons and the Snake River (1942)'. A mural sized print of the image became Adams' most expensive photograph in December of 2020, when it sold at a Sotheby's auction for $988,000.
This photograph from the Snake River Overlook in 2024 was my best effort of an intentional homage to Ansel's original image. Although the vigorous growth of the trees in the foreground over the last 80 years has obscured most of the river, the beauty of the scene and his vision is still undeniable.

HallgrÃmskirkja
At 244 feet tall, HallgrÃmskirkja is the largest church in Iceland, and among the tallest structures in the country. Situated on top of a hill in the center of the capital of Reykjavik, it is visible from almost anywhere in the city.
The design was inspired by volcanic basalt columns which are common throughout the country, most notably in places like Svartifoss. Although commissioned in 1937, the church was not fully completed until 1986. The statue of Leif Erikson predates its construction, a gift from the United States in 1930 commemorating the 1000th anniversary of the convening of Iceland's parliament at Ãingvellir in 930 AD.

Puffin Love
The adorable Atlantic Puffin can be seen in abundance in Iceland, most notably at Hafnarhólmi in the northeast. These cold water sea birds spend autumn and winter at sea, where they feed on small fish and crabs by diving underwater. They also molt during this time, making them unable to fly.
In the spring after their new feathers sprout, they fly back to land and nest in clifftop colonies where a single egg is laid in their burrow. The baby 'pufflings' grow quickly and leave the nest in six weeks, not returning to land for several years.
Although well adapted for life at sea, they are comically awkward on land. We witnessed several crash landings, roll-overs, and squabbles, while their waddling gait and colourful beaks give them the nickname 'clowns of the sea'.

The majestic Bearhat Mountain and Hidden Lake are kissed by the setting sun in Glacier National Park. The ethereal 'halo' in the sky was caused by sunlight refracting through high clouds and smoke from the distant Howe Ridge Fire of 2018.

Near the Paint Pots of Kootenay National Park in British Columbia, a fascinating mineral spring system deposits ochre in the soil, producing the rich orange colour in the mud and water.

Tipsoo Dawn
As the rising sun breaks the horizon, the east face of majestic Mount Rainier glows like a beacon, casting its reflection far below in a small tarn above Tipsoo Lake. Quite possibly one of the most beautiful scenes I have ever witnessed.

Sometimes in the midst of exploring the forests, it is easy to forget that beauty comes in small packages and is easy to overlook. The texture and details in something as simple as a closeup of a tree trunk take on a whole new meaning when viewed from a different perspective.

True Blue
A Canadian icon, the natural splendor of Moraine Lake in Banff National Park begs to be photographed. Situated in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, this glacially-fed beauty appears in a stunning shade of turquoise due to the refraction of light on the rock flour suspended in the water. I will never tire of revisiting my old friend.

The Rising
I've always loved how weather patterns flow through the mountains, and this morning was magical. After a night of rain, the low cloud and mist will often form around the mountains, sometimes completely enveloping them. The waiting game ensues, and if you're lucky, the sun might break through at just the right moment, lighting up the peaks in full drama.
These are two of the famous Three Sisters of Canmore; Charity and Hope. The third peak, Faith, refused to show her face that morning.
A dawn that I won't soon forget.

Surge
The powerful ocean waves surge and drain through an eroded lava bench at sunset on the west coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. The water would bellow up through the hole quite frequently, flooding the rock and seaweed before draining back down and disappearing until the next wave came along. For scale, this hole was probably at least 10-12 feet across, and the last thing you wanted to do was get too close to the edge. Each water surge was different from the last, at times very powerful and swirling up around your legs with a lot of force as it drained. If one was to fall in, you probably wouldn't return.

Fabric Of Life
PÄhoehoe lava is extraordinary with the wide variety of shapes and ropey textures it can form when it cools. These fascinating surface features reminded me of bunched fabric and are due to the movement of fluid lava under a rapidly cooling, congealing surface crust. Shot straight down at close range from a helicopter. No, that morning was no fun at all!

Halo
A sundog is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a bright spot to one or both sides of the sun, usually in a 22-degree halo. They are caused by the refraction of sunlight by ice crystals in the atmosphere. At minus 30 degrees Celsius on this winter morning in the Canadian Rockies, a beautiful and bright specimen glows through the heavy trees after an overnight snowfall. It was a treat to watch the ice crystals glitter and sparkle as they floated through the crisp morning air.

If you ever have the chance to visit Mount Rainier National Park, make an effort to walk back in time on the Grove Of The Patriarchs nature trail. A forest of old-growth trees, it is full of douglas fir, western hemlock, and western cedar trees; many up to 25 feet in circumference, and many over 1000 years old. I couldn't resist stopping to gaze at this beautiful douglas fir, with the soft morning light illuminating the forest floor.

A well-known location in Glacier National Park, Montana, Bearhat Mountain and Hidden Lake is a worthy destination for anyone who has an appreciation for the sheer beauty of nature.
I feel exceedingly grateful that my first trip to this amazing area yielded conditions beyond my wildest dreams.

I was the only soul there to witness this outstanding showcase of beauty.

Moonlight Sonata
I had the idea of making this image of Mount Chephren, moonlit from the side to really show the texture of that famous face and hopefully some nice ice formations in the foreground. After studying the pattern of the moon's position, I was able to determine that I had a window of about 1 1/2 hours on a certain day at a certain time to make this a reality. I slept on the side of the road in my Jeep, set my alarm for 12:30 am, and hoped for the best. The stars aligned for me as I awoke to a clear sky and some adrenalin. I put on my waders, snowshoes, and backpack, setting off through the bush and down the lakeshore in the darkness with my trusty headlight.
It was just an awesome feeling as the whole night came together seamlessly. The crisp winter air, starlit skies, and sounds of rushing water were a symphony to my senses, like a beautiful song.

Crowsnest
As you travel westward in southern Alberta, Crowsnest Mountain and the Seven Sisters is a sight to behold as they welcome you into the Canadian Rockies.
Snowshoeing up a steep mountain trail before sunrise in the dark in cougar country can be somewhat disconcerting. I stopped periodically to shine my headlight into the bushes, hoping not to find any shiny eyes blinking back at me. So far, so good.
I could hear the wind begin to howl as I approached my viewpoint on an open nub. As I crested the hill, it was like being hit by a tidal wave. I was almost knocked on my butt by a gust of wind so strong that my hood was flapping like a flag in a 100 mph gale. Seriously, I have no idea how the 500-600-year-old limber pines in the area survive that daily onslaught.
It's funny how when you're in the thick of it on a crazy morning like this, you often wonder if maybe you're just a little nuts to be there in the first place. But the memories I have from all of these adventures are priceless to me, and I know that there's no place I'd rather be than exploring Mother Nature.
