- 'Painted Rock'
- Looking westward along the US-Canada border, near 49 degrees North; 115 degrees West
- Standing beside the "world's largest truck", in Sparwood, BC, Canada.
According to Wikipedia, it is actually not the world's largest truck anymore; the "Caterpillar 797" is larger. - "Black Sand Dune"
The northwest coast of New Zealand's North Island is notable for its black sand beaches (formed by magnetite). This photograph of Lake Wainamu - just inland from Auckland's Bethell's Beach - at dusk provides a striking contrast: A black sand dune in the foreground, with a lake and tracts of native bush behind. (December 30, 2014. Nikon D5000, 1/400s @ f/7.1, 20mm, ISO 200.) - "California Majesty"
This photograph was a surprise. While hiking in northern California's Grant Ranch County Park, I hiked to the top of a hill, looking for a panoramic view. But instead, I was struck by the sight of this stunning California Live Oak, back-lit by the late afternoon sun. (April 6, 2014. Nikon D5000, 1/250s @ f/6.3, 11mm, ISO 200.) - "Frying Pan Lake", Waimangu Thermal Valley
The world's largest hot spring. It was created by a volcanic eruption in 1917. - "Hippo's Yawn", near Wave Rock
- "Pacific Coast Sunset"
When I first took this photograph (at Pescadero Beach, in northern California), I wasn't expecting much - but I liked the contrast between the orange-red sky and the blue sea, and the silhouetted vegetation in the foreground. (August 24, 2014. Nikon D5000, 1/60s @ f/10, 85mm, ISO 200.) - "Thousand Islands" (in the St. Lawrence River, near the border with New York State)
