I love your take on nature shots. It's hard to get people to appreciate the desert, but you do a wonderful job making it look welcoming in its own right.

Whoa, that's...weird. Is there a scientific explanation for that? I think that stars are hidden by greater light no matter what time of day it is...

That's awesome. I actually started to wonder how you captured Sun and stars at the same time. Until I read the description.

Oooh, this is lovely! There's something really neat and Zen about this. The waves in the sand remind me of a rock garden, dotted by the trees. The sky and the moon are gorgeous.
