This image is a popular photo on Google Map for the map reference point Buffalo Soldier Monument Plaza. It is taken from the Southwest corner at the entrance to the monument. Like the other photos, this was taken at dusk.

Added value of a flock of geese flying into a landscape composition.

Got up early to catch the mist rising from the lake and creek that feeds into the lake, which is where I shot this photo. Found a heavy frost everywhere to include on the small leaves that peppered the creek. In this image the sun hadn’t as yet peaked over the Eastern hilltop. This is an HDR from 5 bracketed images. Shot on my Sony A7RIII using my iPhone sony app Imaging Edge Mobile

Somewhere in the Carribbean waters an early morning shows most cruise vacationeers are still asleep.

After leaving Jamaica for Cozumel, we noticed another cruise ship ahead of our cruise ship indicating that both ships were following a sea lane.

Pacific sunset sharing the final rays of light along the coast cliff. Taken while on a family vacation to San Diego, California. What I like about this photo is the magenta in the clouds and the red tone that showed in the rocks.

Chase Lake Falls is known by several names, such as Prather Creek Falls or sometimes referred to the name of a nearby town called Cottonwood Falls. This is another waterfall that is dependent upon a high water pool in Chase Fishing Lake. On this particular day after several reoccurring storms that caused flooding in the area the water was really flowing though a bit brown from all the sediment.

The lower falls requires you to wade in water and work through some broken tree limbs, but it could allow ou to capture four falls.

Part of the spillway at Geary State Fishing Lake is this wonderful waterfall that flows when the lake pool is high.

The beautiful waterfall located Northeast of Rifle Colorado in a small, but enjoyable state park is a very short walk from the park’s entrance and general parking lot.

The April 2006 National Geographic published the article “Glen Canyon Revealed” with a picture of Reflection Canyon by Michael Melford. Since that moment, hikers have made a hard and difficult 16-18 mile round trip hike to see this unique and spectacular serpentine channel that marks this canyon. Individuals considering this trek beware, this isn’t a hike for inexperienced hikers. There isn’t any reliable water sources, a steep grade to climb to the top of the hill, nor landmarks any recognizable reference points to the hilltop where he took his photo.

A drive with courtesy billboard marks this Kansas City cityscape. Yet this part of the interstate has been closed for a couple of years. So a sign for no cars.

I was enthralled by the submerged patio lights at the Washington Memorial that seemed to point to the Capital.

Blue hour adds the same blue case onto the muddy Missouri and Kansas Rivers sandwiching downtown Kansas City in a rich blue.

A beautiful setting sun added the golden glow to the downtown buildings of Kansas City as seen from the patio above the Amtrak station.

Perching high atop a closed interstate on ramp from the Fairfax industrial offered a rare opportunity to capture the Kansas City cityscape with the Broadway Bridge lights.

After waiting years for a supermoon to rise between key Kansas City skyscrapers, PhotoPills showed that a Sturgeon Supermoon would occur and this is the shoot that I took.

What an incredible moment to finally be able to get a full moon over 1 Kansas City Plaza Skyscraper low enough for it to look good. The plus was it was a Supermoon.

Lincoln Memorial aglow as flags flutter at the World War II Memorial.

The Angel of Death spire, which is often overlooked by travelers that walk further North to the Long Don Sliver (Lone Spire) for their popularity seeking Instagram image. This spire has always been a desired shot. On my third visit to this site while I was in the area shooting other pictures, I found nice clouds passing overhead as the sun rising in the East.

While hiking the Rim Overlook and Navajo Knobs trail this view materialized. Capital Doom is to the right and Mount Pennell is in the background.

Along the trail up to the Rim Overlook was this spur nestled about with Utah Juniper that point upward to a butte in the distance. I took this photo because I noticed that the junipers provided a gap between the suggesting a path that lead upwards to the overlook peak that I was hiking to. I also like the dark stones in the front right corner that act to balance the picture with the clouds peaking on the left.
