Landscapes of the Western U.S.

My favorite landscapes of the western United States, including the Shasta-Cascade, the mountains and foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, and California's Central Valley.

Bridalveil After an Autumn Storm

The morning after a robust and desperately needed rainstorm quenched California, Yosemite Valley transformed into a wonderland of low-lying, swirling mist with replenished waterfalls. The swirling fog at the base of Bridalveil Fall created an ethereal, and constantly changing composition I’ve long wanted to get, I had just never been here when the conditions were just right. The best Thanksgiving treat I could’ve gotten!
