Looking on, across Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park as the sun just begins to light the top of the trees. In the still of the morning, the lake allows for a reflection creating a symmetry and balance to the shot.

Double Arch in Southern Utah, was formed differently than most arches in the Arches National Park. It is what is known as a pothole arch, formed by water erosion from above rather than more typical erosion from the side. The larger opening has a span of 148 feet and a height of 104 feet. It lies atop an underground salt bed called the “Paradox Formation” which is responsible for the arches. The visible rock formation is the salmon-colored Entrada Sandstone and the tan-colored Navajo Sandstone. In this picture, color and texture of the stone was achieved by the rock momentarily illuminated by a light source and using a 39 second exposure. Visible in the background is the distant glow of light pollution from nearby Moab, Utah. The dark rock structures in the lower left are eroded monoliths deposited over 300 million years ago when seas flowed into the region and eventually evaporated. Visible in the night sky is the Milky Way Galaxy and its billions of stars and planets. While fending off mice from my trail mix, I framed the arches and the distant galaxy to create a connection between the unearthly landscape and the night sky.
Lots more to come from Arches so stay tuned!

This was shot from the bridge near the village where all the photogs congregate. Not a soul to be seen on this day--just me and my little Aussie dog enjoying the view. And the view was mighty fine on this fall day, with a little mist lifting off the river, a little color in the trees, and a wonderfully lovely reflection on the water. ;-)
- The sea was dead silent, just like the gorgeous sunset painting the landscape, just like the mind.

The low tide brought out the dark edges of the rocks.

This image won the honorable mention in the 2008 Nature's Color Photo Contest by Outdoor Photographer Magazine with more than 8600 entries. It was also selected as the Photo of the Day on Earth Shots (EarthShots.org) on 1/4/2009.
Shot at American Basin, Colorado. See Large On Black
You would never know how many hidden treasures Colorado provides. Over years you hear places people mentioned secretly, and see photos on Google earth that look surreal to you. Now you realize it's close to impossible to appreciate all these amazing scenes in your lifetime. This was shot after a short hike, once I determined my 2WD won't make it all the way to the trail head. My tent is just a few feet from where I took this image. The wind blew constantly, hence it's rare for the few seconds of stillness that complete this shot.
4.0s at f/22, EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM at 28mm, ISO100 Tripod. No HDR.
Skagit Flats area, Fir Island, Washington State. Wintering birds flushed by a distant hunters shotgun rose all in an amazing wave and flew over, with their cacophonic cries drowing out all other sounds. ;-)
Advance base camp at 19,500ft near the ice pinnacles - late in the day stormclouds. The 1994 Calgary ski expedition.

- Ranten Peak (1419m./4655 ft.) at Norefjell Mountain, Norway.
All rights reserved. © copyright by Seung Kye Lee
From a ski trip taking 4 hrs. (approx. 7 km.) to ascend to the foot of Ranten Peak
due to fresh, deep snow that made me regret not using snowshoes.
A quite steep route, going uphill all the way, felt like my hips were to go off the hinges ;-p
It was all worth it.
Standing at the foot of that mountain was awesome, even if it`s only 1419 m., it`s majestic and beautiful. I decided not to hike to the top as in the south-west was pale blue sky and not favorable for photography.
- In Norway these days, the sun rises at 9 am and sets at 15 pm.
This means approx. 6 hrs. of daylight, but as this was shot at noon, the light can be incredible all day long in the mountains if you`ve got the right conditions.

The Power of Dreams
I don't drive a Honda but I am pushing one in cirlce almost every weekend :-)
This shot was taken last weekend with this awesome 5.5HP Honda CDi out of the attached mower. Had the baby lubed, cleaned and replaced with new oil seals. Took this 10 year-old workhorse out for a test drive this morning and worked like a dream.
Thanks for viewing!

Briefly #15 on Explore on April 26. I don't entirely understand Explore--but this made it to #2 on December 19, 2007. Thank you to all who commented on my simple little fence and oak tree--enhanced greatly by mother nature!!

Stop and take in the coming winter day in this twilight moment in a small park at the edge of town.

A hazy shade of winter
This beach covered with large rocks is just a few km away from my town Hafnarfjörður.
The soft lava rock gets easily broken by the waves. Years later these pieces of rock get washed up on the beach again as rounded stones.
The ocean seems to deepen quickly at this beach and therefor the waves are more powerful than in other places close by. These waves have managed to build up quite a high pile of rocks.
On the top of this pile is where I placed my tripod. I took a few shots. The shot after this one was the last one as a surprisingly large wave crashed onto the rocks and got me and my camera equipment totally soaked with salt water! It was quite scary as the wave crash very powerfully just a few meters away.
But the most scary part is that for a while I thought that this had been the last shot that my dear Canon 30D had taken. But after intense drying and cleaning, it still works like a charm!
24. Oct 2008: Got my image on www.earthshots.org/2008/10/boulder-beach-by-orvaratli/
This is not the Zion Narrows. Why would I say such a ridiculous thing? Because I was supposed to be hiking that marvelous place today with a group of very talented photographers, and I hope they're having a fantastic time. I had some family obligations that sprang up at the last minute, so here I sit in Los Angeles, nowhere near the Narrows (I may make a quick drive to Pismo for sunset and low tide today, so I can at least get a little photo work in).
This shot is from the Merced River canyon, just west of the valley in Yosemite. It features some of the most dramatic soaring granite cliffs in the park, and I was fortunate to catch it on this morning as a storm moved in, filling the canyon with clouds and fog.
Update on what the heck this thing is: I'd wondered if this particular edifice had a name, but couldn't recall ever seeing it or hearing what it's called before. Thanks to my boyfriend asking around on a few rock climbing boards, I now know that this is called the Rostrum, and is rated as a 5/11 climb (in other words, about as challenging as you can get).
11/11/10 update: This pic is Earthshots.org's photo of the day for November 12, 2010.
12/14/10 update: This is one of two of my images that have been chosen for inclusion in the upcoming Yosemite Renaissance exhibition.
