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

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.

Ice Bubbles

by

This year there was so much ice on Lake Superior that water didn’t get close enough to shore to make beautiful ice bubbles on the rocks. This picture is from 2013–the lake was mostly open, and the waves piled up ice on the rocks.
