I am so fascinated with these spotted sandstone patterns and how they formed. I believe the spots are iron oxide and are much harder than the surrounding stone which is why it retains its shape and rich rust color. I’m sure the consistent wetting and drying cycles also play a large part…anywho …

Here is a cold winter image for this hot summer day 😊

Born from the Ashes A series of images documenting the transformation of the forest in Bohemian Switzerland National Park, Czech Republic after the devastating fire of July 2022. Since then, I’ve returned several times each year to witness and photograph its recovery. Nature will find its way…

Gravitational time dilation. I may have extended my life by a couple of nanoseconds shooting this scene.

It was a beautiful morning in South Africa's Cape Point Nature Reserve, a land of towering coastal mountains and vast inland planes, as the sun broke through clouds and painted it all in spectacular light! #photography #travel #bluesky #nature #landscape #naturephotography #landscapephotography

Ocean water sitting inside honeycomb pockets of coastal tafoni. At first glance, the liquid appears to be tight spherical droplets. When viewed upside down though, it’s easier to decipher that the droplets are in fact concave. A fun little optical illusion:)
