“Kissing Cousins” is a rock formation close to Monterey, CA. Enjoy!

Each year in February the sun illuminates the Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park creating the impression of a “Fire Fall”. Of course many photographers are trying to capture the moment since Galen Rowell did so in 1973.
Since the clouds moved in in the afternoon I was just about ready to give up and drive home when suddenly the sun rays broke through the clouds. I was very happy capturing this image!

We (Wolfgang, David and I) photographed early at the Merced Game Refuge. Our goal was to photograph spider webs at sunrise. Enjoy!

Currently many photographers are chasing Fall colors in California. I found some great dogwood colors at Calaveras State Park in Central California. The large Sequoia trees work great as a backdrop.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Lembert Dome (elevation 9455ft or 2882 m) is a beautiful rock formation at the edge of Tuolumne meadows in Yosemite National Park. I photographed the rock right before the storm clouds were moving in.
Enjoy!

Over the last decade David and I were photographing in Bodie, CA. Back in 2014 we got special permission to start photographing at 5:00 AM. This is one of the images that I got that morning.

By the way, next all seven photographers will share their work on architecture. I am looking forward to see the creativity and the images!

Last night I walked in Rahilly Park in Merced, CA where I photographed this old tree. I tried to get a “Pep Ventosa style” image by walking in a circle around the tree photographing a new image every two feet or so. I only could get about a fourth of a circle and still in post production I got this imae.

Enjoy!

I wanted a different look of Yosemite Valley so my wife and I hiked up Four Mile Trail in Yosemite Valley. It was an absolute gorgeous day with no clouds in the sky so I filled the space of the clouds with some tree branches.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!
