Mammoth Cave Tunnel

One of my favorite bending tunnels in Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, during the ‘domes and dripstones’ tour. As the worlds longest known cave system (over 400 miles explored), the cave as well as the trails above have an abundance of interesting features for everyone to enjoy.

Great Sand Dunes National Park

Snowy Hanging Rock

Snowy ridges of Hanging Rock, North Carolina. Captured December along the main park road. The snow was lightly falling, and throughout the day the mountain would occasionally become visible to reveal snow covered evergreens on the ridge.

Hanging Rock

An epic sunset at Hanging Rock, NC, from mid April 2016. For a couple of minutes the orange/pink colors became so bright that the cliffs and hills changed to warmer colors. I preplanned this vertical shot an hour before the peak colors, and definitely got better light than expected. Six image hand-stitched vertorama + three image focus stack.

Sunset at Jockey's Ridge State Park, which features the tallest natural sand dune system on the East Coast. At the Outer Banks in North Carolina.

Virginia Sunset

Sunset over Big Stone Gap in Virginia, captured 4/15/17. This is a two image stack (one for the car trails).

Looking Glass Falls

Looking Glass Falls at sunset. One of my favorite moments from 2016 while exploring NC. Just before sunset, the thick clouds parted and direct sun hit the mist, making the rainbow visible. After a few minutes it was gone, and the sun fell below the horizon. Part of the Pisgah National forest.
