Atlantic

by

These are a couple pictures of the Atlantic Ocean, just north of Tarifa, Spain (right outside the Strait of Gibraltar). This area is extremely windy, and is the world capital of kite surfing.

For Sale

by

All kinds of wonderful things for sale in the markets of Marrakesh! The top picture shows a spice shop, and the bottom of course is olives.

Kasbah

by

These pictures show a ruined kasbah (fortress), in Morocco. The use of mud bricks makes them difficult to preserve.

Sahara Desert

by

One of the best parts of my trip to Morocco was spending a night at a nomad camp in the Sahara Desert, after riding a camel 90 minutes out to the camp. This photo was taken after climbing half-way up a giant sand dune, looking down at the nomad camps. Some of these are families that live in the Sahara, but others are owned by hotels at the dune line, who run the overnight excursions.

Sunset over the Atlantic Ocean

by

I just returned from a trip to Morocco and Spain, and will be sharing my pictures over the next days and weeks. It was a great trip–beautiful scenery, exciting foreign places! This picture is of sunset over the Atlantic Ocean, right outside the Strait of Gibraltar in southern Spain.

Birch Trees

by

I have a ton of pictures from annual fall trips to northern Minnesota, and most of them feature birch trees. I love the white bark and the yellow leaves, with bright red maples and green pine trees mixed in.

Buffalo

by

This was courtesy of my nice zoom lens, from a trip out to Yellowstone a couple years ago. Though, the buffalo would at times come pretty close to the road, so you didn’t necessarily need to zoom in to get a good picture of them.

Crashing Water

by

I like that I caught the water crashing, and that you can see the ridges of ice on the rocks. This is from winter of 2013, when Lake Superior was not frozen completely over, so you could photograph nice contrasts of moving water and ice.
