This shot is of Great Keppel Island which is located off the coast of Central Queensland Australia. Great Keppel Island and the surrounding islands are in an area which makes up part of the Southern Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
Having never been to the waterfalls of the Columbia River Gorge, I really didn't know what would be involved in getting to the Mossy Grotto. I had only seen photos from friends online and thought "wow, that looks amazingly beautiful".
The directions friends gave where something along the lines of hike this trail, there will be about 437 switchbacks, when you get to the downhill section "don't die" and if you find the river you are pretty much there.
Other than a couple of bruises from some slipping on some rocks, dirty pants and soaked hiking boots that took 3 days to dry out... I safely made it to this point and I can honestly say it was one of the most beautiful waterfalls I saw that weekend and I'd gladly do it all again.
This may have been the most beautiful light I've encountered thus far. These are the last horizontal rays before the spectacular sunset seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/mikko_laitinen/28279059770
Standing at the lakeside watching this spectacular scene of sun rays seeping through clouds unfold before our very eyes ... Life, sometimes, is just perfect!
A cloudy sunset with sun light through the clouds forming some gorgeous light rays.
Have a great day!

A neat combination of natural light rays & sparks from Jeff (www.flickr.com/photos/jeff-schreier/), spinning steel wool down in a cave in N. Alabama.
Gotta press that 'L'
I struggled with a bunch of different edits with this but ultimately just decided to stick with this one. Normally I would write a little passage to go along with my photo but after work today, I'm a little thing called tired.
A huge thanks to William for being the best remote clicker in the world even though we both couldn't feel our bodies.
I find that I post more regularly on my Facebook page. So stay up to date with me on there!

Chloe and I have known each other nearly 10 years now and have become good friends. She's not modelling any more but we have many lovely memories of our collaborations.
went to my studios rooftop and found this beautiful sunset, unusual during this season, just when I pointed my camera; the crows started flying all over. Probably they felt threatened.....Thanks to the crows...ha ha!

The popular sentinals at Buttermere a couple of Autumns ago. Looking back through some old images, this shot inspired a recent visit back to this beautiful part of the English lake district.
This was a prime example of a nice image coming from a disappointing sunrise excursion. There was a constant stream of small rain storms passing out to sea and I nearly packed up and went home.. glad I didn't

Long enough have you dream’d contemptible dreams,
Now I wash the gum from your eyes,
You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and of every moment of your life.
Long have you timidly waded holding a plank by the shore,
Now I will you to be a bold swimmer,
To jump off in the midst of the sea, rise again, nod to me, shout, and laughingly dash with your hair.
From Song of Myself by Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

Thunderstorms
What is a thunderstorm?
A thunderstorm is a rain shower during which you hear thunder. Since thunder comes from lightning, all thunderstorms have lightning.
Why do I sometimes hear meteorologists use the word “convection” when talking about thunderstorms?
Usually created by surface heating, convection is upward atmospheric motion that transports whatever is in the air along with it—especially any moisture available in the air. A thunderstorm is the result of convection.
What is a severe thunderstorm?
A thunderstorm is classified as “severe” when it contains one or more of the following: hail one inch or greater, winds gusting in excess of 50 knots (57.5 mph), or a tornado.
How many thunderstorms are there?
Worldwide, there are an estimated 16 million thunderstorms each year, and at any given moment, there are roughly 2,000 thunderstorms in progress. There are about 100,000 thunderstorms each year in the U.S. alone. About 10% of these reach severe levels.

Crepuscular rays
Crepuscular rays /kr?'p?skj?l?r/ (more commonly known as sunbeams, sun rays, or god rays), in atmospheric optics, are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from the point in the sky where the sun is located. These rays, which stream through gaps in clouds (particularly stratocumulus) or between other objects, are columns of sunlit air separated by darker cloud-shadowed regions. Despite seeming to converge at a point, the rays are in fact near-parallel shafts of sunlight. Their apparent convergence is a perspective effect, similar, for example, to the way that parallel railway lines seem to converge at a point in the distance. The sun rays do converge to the sun, but the sun is much further away than the rays might make it look like.[2]
The name comes from their frequent occurrences during twilight hours (those around dawn and dusk), when the contrasts between light and dark are the most obvious. Crepuscular comes from the Latin word "crepusculum", meaning twilight.[3]
The year after sequel to this photo.
I find myself struggling with the thought of losing you. Though I know I will not lose you completely, I know I will lose the part of you that I used to hold so near and dear to my heart. But you can't be that person to me again. Because when I wanted you, I wanted you bad. And though you wanted me, you played me. It was always all of me, half of you. And now I'm beginning to understand it'll soon be all of me, none of you.

First rays of sunlight, bird calls, and that translucent green of early spring. Can you ask for more?
If you walk on Dash Point Beach at the right time the colors and lighting remind me of little Italy or somewhere like that.
My wife and I stroll the beach on the weekends and as a result of luck, timing and skills I was able to create another memory along our photographic journey.

Amazing light refraction at sunset over Greek isles from Oia, Santorini that lasted only a matter of minutes before it was gone.
