Shooting through the haze along the Grand Canyon’s south rim and taking a slightly a-typical look at just how massive the grand canyon is and it’s stunning depth. Taken during a trip to Northern Arizona.

Located just behind the Royal Palace in downtown Oslo, this photo captures one of the streets along embassy row in the heart of Norway’s capital. The architecture was varied and beautiful.

It’s Christmas eve once again. Where was I last year? El Chalten deep in the heart of Patagonia, Argentina. This stunning photo of rivers, rain, mountains and clouds was captured near the start of the hike to Mount Fitz Roy, one of the most incredible hikes in the world. It really has been a wonderful year and I can’t get over how blessed I am to have managed to spend this past year in gorgeous places like this. Due to the glacial sediment and melt the water really was that color. Taken while hiking and backpacking in South America.

Near the end of the Shark’s Tooth Trail Head in Southwestern Colorado in the mountains just outside of Dolores and Durango there’s a slice of heaven on earth. That place is the last 1/3 of the trail head, nearing the top of the mountain. This is a glimpse into that paradise. A beautiful path in spring surrounded by blooming high-altitude flowers. A rough place to lay down your backpack and rest ehh?

The clouds parted briefly, the light rain stopped, and I found myself in front of the EPA building in downtown Washington, DC staring at these gorgeous Tulips. Taken during a visit to the Nation’s Capital while wandering the national mall.

One of many stunning late afternoons during the tail end of summer in Copenhagen’s gorgeous Nyhavn or New Harbor. The harbor is, quite understandably, one of Denmark’s most famous and beautiful destinations.

Men at work in Budapest pausing for a break and a chat. Taken during a recent visit to Hungary on a backpacking and hostel trip travelling through Central Europe.

Traveller’s photograph taken on a typical, rainy Irish day while passing through the Sally Gap and heading towards Lough Tay in Ireland’s Wicklow Mountains during a day trip from Dublin. The area’s bald, fern covered mountains are gorgeous. Especially when the waterfalls are alive from an afternoon’s rain. Taken during a hostel and backpacking trip through Europe.

Photo taken from the Albayzin in Granada, Spain while looking down onto the grand cathedral which at one point also served as a mosque. Granada is a spectacular city full of architectural wonders, fantastic character, music, and delightful foods. Photo was taken during a hostel and backpacking trip through Spain.

That moment as the sun sets over the ocean when the the day’s rain clouds turn into muses for casting stunning rays of brilliant light down onto the ocean. Taken during my new years visit to Playa del Carmen in southern Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula.
