Liftoff
A few weeks ago, while I was in Albuquerque, I went on my first hot air balloon ride. It was quite an experience silently floating over the city at sunrise with the noise and chaos below.

When landscape photographers are stuck inside….
Antelope Canyon
Lower Antelope Canyon – The southwest is scattered with slot canyons like this that were formed over thousands or millions of years from wind and water erosion. The shapes and patterns are all unique but the glow created by the sun reflecting off of the sandstone is always pretty incredible.
Monument Valley Sunset
Monument Valley – 50 million years of erosion from wind and water revealed these natural wonders. You might recognize the view from several movies including: Stagecoach, Easy Rider and Forest Gump.
Winged Rock
Shiprock – The Navajo name for the peak, Tsé Bitʼaʼí, “rock with wings” or “winged rock”, refers to the legend of the great bird that brought the Navajo from the north to their present lands. The name “Shiprock” or Shiprock Peak or Ship Rock derives from the peak’s resemblance to an enormous 19th-century clipper ship.
Gentle Slumber
“There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.”– Bernard Williams
