Rocky Mountain View
This was a beautiful vista from a road that goes through Rocky Mountain National Park. Looking for all the beauty today I can find.
Big Buck Mountains
Taken on my vacation to Colorado this summer. Beautiful place.
Grandma Withers
I know of no better way to honor the memory of someone I love than to share that memory with others. This woman died today in a fatal car accident. Her name is Janice Withers. She is my grandmother...
Garden of the Gods
This was taken somewhere in Colorado. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the place.
Flat Top Overlook
A picture from the top of Flat Top Mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.
Arches of Utah
I believe I took this in Arches National Park in Southeastern Utah.
That whole part of the state is amazing.
Parachute
This guy was parachuting down to track at a recent (7/15/2007) NHRA drag race event in Morrison, Colorado.
decisions
This sign gave us some tough decisions.
Highway 666
Our map still said HWY 666. We thought it best not to tempt fate.
Taken in Monticello, UT.
Utah HWY 291 Overlook
The road in this picture is about 1100 ft below me. To get to it you have to traverse some of the coolest and most dangerous switchback roads I have ever encountered.
For those of you who like map...
Lied Center
Nice sunset behind a pleasant looking health facility.
Grey Line Railway
First time messing with desaturating only part of a picture. I turned most of the picture black & white, but left the sky blue (if you couldn't tell).
Update: further desaturated the foreground an...
Crazy Lake
This one was an accident... or so it seemed. I forgot that the shutter was still open and picked up the camera to move to the next spot. For some reason I made a useless effort to try and realign t...
Carter Lake 5
No color adjustments, just another long exposure shot.
Read Carter Lake 1 for the story: [link]
Carter Lake 4
Another one I decided not to edit at all. Very subtle crop to fit perfectly as a wallpaper for my wide screen laptop.
Although I didn't realize it when I took the shot I'm pretty sure the white st...
Carter Lake 3
No adjustments to this one at all, except cropping. Close to straight from the camera. Cropping done to change to proper wallpaper aspect ratio.

Carter Lake 2
This shot was taken tonight, right around 9:00pm. The sun had set around 8:15pm but was still supplying much of the glow for this picture. This shot was taken on the Nebraska side of Cater Lake, ju...
Carter Lake 1
This shot was taken tonight, a little after 9:00pm. The sun had set around 8:15pm but was surely the cause of the brilliant glow lingering on the horizon.
For this picture I was standing on the Ne...
Evil President
Her dubious glower confirmed to me the lasting resolve of her anger.
I cling to hope that this rage is not exclusively meant for me. There isn't much I can do though, regardless of the reality, fo...
Me
Just me.
Blue Melt
I just loved the colors that day brought me. Resulted in lots of great photos, including this one.
This is my first time uploading a photo straight from the camera. I've uploaded tons of them with...
Cell Shaded Reality
I always thought this building looked like it was straight out of a comic book.
Off the Ice
Another skyline shot of Omaha, NE. Sorry for the repeat subject matter... I just love this park and taking pictures in it.
Avenue of the Saints
This was taken on the side of a road during a road trip. The road is called "Avenue of the Saints" and is part of State Highway 27/218 in Iowa. This was just South of Iowa City, IA.
The sun set mo...
Road Show
Gotta know by now that I love messing with long exposure. This one was just too obvious for me to post it when I took it, but over the months it has grown on me and I figured others might like it.....
Starry Glow
This scene almost looks like it was somehow lit by the stars. This is actually facing right about due south and the afterglow from the recent sunset is still illuminating just enough.
Long exposure.
So Much of the Afterglow
Taken a little after the sun had already set, the horizon is still lit by an almost eerie afterglow. With the shutter open long enough you can really see how much light is still around shortly afte...
Moonrise 3
Another shot where its tough to tell this is actually the moon, not the sun.
Moonrise 2
Another one where its hard to believe its really the moon.
winterglow 3
Downtown Omaha, Nebraska on 2/19/2007.
winterglow 2
Downtown Omaha, Nebraska. 2/19/2007.

Moonrise 1
I swear this is the moon. Honest!
Caught this beautiful moonrise of a full moon just after sunset. I am facing East/South East here, looking over a Marsh. The marsh is located in Bellevue, NE at t...
cooled evening
The clouds look almost surreal, like they were painted there. The scene came out so gorgeous that I didn't crop or edit a thing, just resized.
pulling down shades
I climbed a parking garage to take this shot. Definitely think it was worth it.
menacing beauty
I had to stop my car when I saw this sky. It wasn't the greatest vantage, but its a cozy feeling shot.
glass warfare
A great shot taken on New Years day in the riverfront mall of Omaha.
rapid oxidation
With the snow blowing through the decaying remains of this recently burned down house, it almost looks as if its still smoldering. There might be a little smoldering somewhere, but the "smoke" look...
damaged
Couldn't help but have a closer look at the travesty that befell this house.
Inviting New Years
The sky painted itself right in front of me, and I came away with many photos. It was a great sunset and made the first day of the new year feel very inviting.
sunsets 02
I liked the way the water looked in this.
sunsets 01
Another winter's sunset in Nebraska reflecting off a fairly still lake.
Blue Shadows
Taken on Election Day. I almost forgot to vote after being distracted by the beauty of the sunset. Almost.
lava lights
It was a really hot day for November.
paint the dusk
It just looked like the sky was painting just a few pretty clouds right at sunset. This is probably the best shot I got of it.

orange ripples
I really liked the way the ripples looked in this one.
the show
Another great fountain shot.
missouri ave
A colorful sunrise in Omaha, NE. This is looking out toward the South Omaha bridge on Missouri Ave.
don't touch this either
I think maybe this should sit a few more minutes before we open it. Now might not be a good time.
the omaha finger
Another shot of Omaha from the riverfront.
fountagazma
Taken from waterfront in Omaha, NE.
jedi fountain
I think there was something going on in there...
the bottom
... its at the bottom of 1000 steps.
July
Taken about an hour after sunset on a great July evening in Nebraska... a state that is almost always more interesting looking up (sky) than looking down (ground).
It was pretty dark when I took t...
jedi sighting 04 - the battle
Part 4 of my 'Jedi Sightings' series.
This one looks like an epic jedi battle.

forgotten beauty
A hidden place it seems like everyone forgot about... except time and local gangs.
