While roaming the Carriage Roads in Acadia National Park, we ran across a local who pointed us towards the Cobblestone Bridge. It was built by creating an arched form with cobblestones being mortared into place on top. Once the arch was set, the form was removed, creating the only bridge in Acadia made from cobblestone. We followed a makeshift trail along Jordan Stream, arriving at the bridge standing tall over the scattered rock formations and quickly found this composition using the bridge to frame the lush vegetation in the forest.

An early morning start on the Multnomah-Wahkeena hike meant I was the first to arrive in the parking lot shortly after sunrise. The goal was to start the 5mi hike ASAP in order to shoot all 8 waterfalls before the sun would start to cast harsh light on the scenes. A fellow photographer Michael Hellen, who I had met a few nights earlier at Rowena Crest, coincidentally also had the same game plan. We kicked off the hike and began capturing images. As we arrived at Wiesendanger Falls, our luck ended, but not before the sun cast some amazing light rays just off to the side. Columbia River Gorge, OR
Large moss-covered Oak and Mahogany trees have created an amazing canopy over this East-West running road just South of the Miami International Airport. We were lucky enough to stumble across this location after picking up our rental car while heading down for a week of diving in the Florida Keys. With a little planning, and some dodging of oncoming traffic, I was able to capture this amazing scene on our way back from the Keys before spending a few days on South Beach. Miami, FL
