I also spent a few days in the Alps, staying in Wengen in the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Unfortunately the weather betrayed me and was overcast my entire stay. Still, the scenery was spectacular. Here is a great view down the valley taken from the hiking trail down from Wengen to Lauterbrunnen.
Anfang April ist die Natur in Südtirol noch lange nicht so saftig grün, wie man es von zahlreichen Bildern kennt. Dennoch reizte mich das Motiv bei Klausen mit dem Kloster Säben, einer Benediktinerinnenabtei, die vom ausgehenden 17. Jahrhundert bis November 2021 bestand. Deutlich weiter unten, im Etschtal, eilte die hübsche NightJet-1216 mit dem EuroCity 88 aus Bologna Centrale in Richtung Brenner.
At the beginning of April, nature in South Tyrol is nowhere as lush and green as you see in numerous pictures. Nevertheless, I was attracted by the motif at Klausen with the Säben Monastery, a Benedictine abbey that existed from the late 17th century until November 2021. Much further down, in the Adige Valley, the pretty NightJet-1216 with the EuroCity 88 was hurrying from Bologna Centrale towards the Brenner Pass.
This is another shot from the Kauai trip that I took this summer. I managed to catch a couple hikers in this photo which helps to show the massive size of the valley.
Early morning light, 10 min after sunrise, deep in to Monument Valley, far away from the regular tourist roads.

I am always amazed at how light can change an already amazing landscape into something incredibly special even if it is only for a few seconds. Seeing scenes like this remind me of why I chase after these special moments...to capture and share the moments of light that may never been seen again.

A tributary to the Merced River winds its way through the Yosemite Valley on a cold winter day in California's Sierra Mountains.
Having made a complete error of judgement with how long it would take the High Tide to recede far enough to allow access on to the Beach, I was forced to search for new compositions. In the end I was fairly pleased with this angle. Making the most of the wild flowers (after I had picked up all of the chocolate bar wrappers left by previous visitors)

Sometimes you just get lucky. Twice a year, as the sun sets, the shadow of the West Mitten butte is perfectly cast upon the East Mitten butte. This phenomenon draws spectators and photographers from around the world. I didn't even know this was a thing. I just happened to be doing a time lapse from the balcony of our hotel room and the sun popped out from behind the clouds for a few minutes and I noticed the shadow.
After rushing down a canyon and over water falls and cascades for 3 miles from Tuolumne Meadows, the river flows gently through the glen.
Spent Superbowl Sunday shooting in Yosemite. Lucky to be able to see the famous firefall without the crowd.
Otherworldly Goblin Valley State Park in Utah. Did you know that part of Galaxy Quest was filmed here? One of my favs.

Monument Valley (Navajo: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, pronounced [tsʰépìːʔ ǹtsɪ̀skɑ̀ìː], meaning "valley of the rocks") is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, with the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor. The most famous butte formations are located in northeastern Arizona along the Utah–Arizona state line. The valley is considered sacred by the Navajo Nation, the Native American people within whose reservation it lies.
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Famed director John Ford used the location for a number of his Westerns. Film critic Keith Phipps wrote that "its five square miles [13 km2] have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West".

History
Before human existence, the Park was once a lowland basin. For hundreds of millions of years, materials that eroded from the early Rock Mountains deposited layer upon layer of sediment which cemented a slow and gentle uplift, generated by ceaseless pressure from below the surface, elevating these horizontal strata quite uniformly one to three miles above sea level. What was once a basin became a plateau.
Natural forces of wind and water that eroded the land spent the last 50 million years cutting into and peeling away at the surface of the plateau. The simple wearing down of altering layers of soft and hard rock slowly revealed the natural wonders of Monument Valley today.
From the visitor center, you see the world-famous panorama of the Mitten Buttes and Merrick Butte. You can also purchase guided tours from Navajo tour operators, who take you down into the valley in Jeeps for a narrated cruise through these mythical formations. Places such as Ear of the Wind and other landmarks can only be accessed via guided tours. During the summer months, the visitor center also features Haskenneini Restaurant, which specializes in both native Navajo and American cuisines, and a film/snack/souvenir shop. There are year-round restroom facilities. One mile before the center, numerous Navajo vendors sell arts, crafts, native food, and souvenirs at roadside stands.

It was so green at Crested Butte it really set off the colors of this valley. In this view, the back side of the Maroon Bells are in view.
