Monument Valley

There are several 'iconic' locations within the park, many of which you've probably seen in movies and TV commercials.  The picture above is the spot in the movie 'Forrest Gump' where he decides that he's tired of running coast-to-coast. Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), in the movie 'Vacation', jumped the family car...

Cochise Lake

Many people think of southern Arizona as nothing but dry desert, but hidden in the farming town of Willcox is Cochise Lake, a great location for bird and landscape photography.  Many species of waterfowl, shore birds, and water birds migrate through southern Arizona, using places like Cochise Lake for roosting,...

Oostvaardersplassen

The Oostvaardersplassen Natural Park is an unique location in The Netherlands. Just image, hundreds and hundreds of wild Konik horses just outside a town of 200 Thousand people. The park itself is an area of 56 square km and part of a hughe area of land claimed from The Netherlands...

Minnehaha Falls

Known as the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesota is also home to some spectacular waterfalls like Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis.  We visited in the winter, so the path down to the falls was closed for safety reasons, but even though we couldn't get right in front of the falls, there...

Sarangkot

Sarangkot is famous for its view of the Annapurna mountain range and the mighty Mt. Fishtail. Best time to shoot is during sunrise or sunset. You may like to avoid the rainy season of July-August, rest of the year you can have the beautiful view of the Himalayan range. (more…)

Fulton Gas Works

Fulton Gas Works was built to provide manufactured natural gas for street lights throughout Richmond in the mid 1800's. Since then it has been converted and used for other fuel types, until it was closed in the early 1970s. There are a few buildings on the grounds, all in a...

Abandoned Beach Homes

The erosion of Nags Head beaches will claim these houses soon enough, but until then you can capture some nice shot. Five beach houses in all and each one is very old and unique. I'd urge extreme caution to anyone who wants to venture inside of the homes. As you...
