I love the Hollywood Bowl Overlook so much that I went back the next morning for sunrise. The weather gods were fickle this morning. Downtown was shrouded in fog but it led to some amazing colors.

Hollywood Bowl Overlook
I was in LA in January for work. I was lucky enough to sneak away a couple times to take some photos. I’d actually been to this spot at the Hollywood Bowl Overlook a few times but each time before the weather didn’t cooperate. Luckily, this time it did.
The elevation gives you a great perspective on just how large the LA area really is. It seems to go on forever.

Giant Container Ship
It’s crazy how big container ships are. This one came in right as the sun was crossing the horizon. It’s usually my favorite part of each sunrise but the clouds obscured it. The ship gave me something else to focus on which was cool.
Of course the birds were all over this scene. Damn birds.

The valley below came to life as light filled it.
A WHOLE GREEN WORLD
As light filled the valley below it revealed a whole new world. Rays of light floated across the lush, green trees. A grassy plain with a river running through it, sprang up as if from no where.
It’s incredible how this lush world grew out of the darkness.

Sunset Hill, Seattle
SUNSET HILL, SEATTLE
I wanted to take a trip to the Pacific Northwest for a long time. Last year I was lucky enough to spend a few days in Seattle.
This photo is from a spot called Sunset Hill. It’s a beautiful area on the edge of a lovely neighborhood. I was able to sit in a picturesque park on a cool May afternoon and watch the sun sink behind the snow-covered mountains in the distance while all kinds of boats danced around the sound below.

Day break on January 1, 2020
DAY BREAK
As I walked up to the pitch black beach, I could see the light breaking over the horizon. I prefer for my sunrises and sunsets to have a fair amount of clouds. I think it helps to make the scene more dynamic. But on the occasions when you get very little cloud cover the first light spreads in line just above the horizon creating beautiful layers of deep colors.

The Taj Mahal through the surrounding trees.
Taj Mahal Through The Trees
Part of the amazingness of the Taj Mahal is how different angles reveal the craftsmanship and the intricacy of the design.

The famous shot of the Taj Mahal reflecting in one of the many pools.
Taj Mahal In Fog
This is one of the many famous shot from the Taj Mahal. The sun glowing on the white marble. The reflection in the pool. The fog adding a bit of mystery.
It was so beautiful I didn’t even mind the thousands of people standing right in the middle of my composition.

2018 Time-lapse Recap
2018 was a great year. I got to travel across the country and around the world. Here’s my best shots smooshed together into one day.
Thank you to everyone who watched my videos this year. This will be the last video for 2018. I’m off to Tokyo and India. Be on the look out for more videos in the new year.

Early morning breakfast
Cow Pasture
I loved this shot because of the way the light was hitting the pasture. Half bathed in light, the other have covered in shadow. All as the cows meandered around in the pasture taking in an early morning breakfast.
