This view north is from my first climb in the Sawatch range, Huron Peak. With a fresh coat of snow it was a bad mistake continuing after forgetting sunscreen.
Windy Hike
Hiking during fall colors is always beautiful, even on windy days.
Cold Splash
Lake Superior offers many types of shoreline. This particular rock shore is on Madeline Island, and provides wonderful spray from waves breaking.
Columbia River View
This view was on a trail built up the outside of a vertical rock outcropping, which was worth it for the amazing view, but nerve wracking given my fear of heights. The whole landscape around the Columbia River is stunning, especially with the bright spring greens.
Spring Cascade
Spring in northern Wisconsin always brings high water from snow melt and rain, which provides spectacular sights at local waterfalls and rivers. This spring certainly delivered with cold nights providing an icy fringe to the water.
Crags
I have been enjoying the challenge of editing other peoples photos recently, which I feel has helped me try ideas that I wouldn’t normally on my own photos. This edit of a photo by elel really shows off the depth of the canyon using the fog to layer the cliffs fading into the background.
Raging River
High water from heavy rain and spring runoff combined filled this dam spillway at Pattison State Park much more than normal, affording the amazing foam patterns and contrast.
Moss in Focus
In this abandoned mine water seeps from every wall. I really don’t know how they kept it pumped out. But the moss loves it, catching each drop that flows from the ground.
Mossy Cliff
Spring brings so many vibrant colors, but I always love the bright greens you so rarely see any other time of year. This is a sandstone cliff in Amnicon Falls State Park in Wisconsin that hosts wonderful moss and lichens and some evergreen ferns.
Peach Sunrise
A thick blanket of snow, new from that night, covers Lost Creek Wilderness Area. As the sun comes up there is no wind to disturb it, and no noise to break the silence.
