You might not think photographing a picnic table would be all that interesting, but at night White Sands National Monument looks like a moonscape. The gray and blue tones look very moon-like and in combination with the Frank Lloyd Wright inspired picnic shelters you feel like you’re awaiting a shuttle back to Earth. Fortunately for me there were no run ins with Marvin the Martian. [tags]photography, stock photo

This is one of my favorite skyline photographs of downtown San Francisco. The pre-dawn light in combination with the glow of the buildings across downtown made for a special capture. As it turns out over the years this has been a favorite of others who have visited my web site as well. First featured on my web site in 2004 as part of my San Francisco Labyrinths write-up it’s been viewed hundreds of thousands of

If you ever want to see the desert come alive just spend some time there at night. This is true in relation to wildlife activity and finding a new take on landscape subjects.  We are diurnal by nature so it is very easy to look past what unique lighting can be found at night.

Amazing how time flies, it seems like only yesterday that I found Lands End Labyrinth on a scenic outlook overlooking the Golden Gate bridge back in 2004. I stumbled across the labyrinth while walking with my wife just off the Land’s End trail near Mile Rock Beach and later wrote about it, pre-blog, on my web site (see San Francisco Labyrinths).
