Take me back! This is one of the most stunning formations I’ve ever seen. Add to it an fantastic sunrise, a little luck, and you become witness to a miracle. Sometime I get a little carried away in the moment. All I can say is that I’m happy no one else was around because I must have looked ridiculous – what with all the shouting, hooting and hollering that was going on.

About author:

Rodney has been traveling to the ends of the earth and weathered all types of climate, in a quest to find nature’s most exquisite terrains to photograph. Equipped with his Dodge 4x4 turbo biodiesel truck, Lance camper, 26’ Custom Jet Boat, camera and tripod – Rodney is determined to obtain that perfect image of Mother Nature at her best. From the sweltering dry deserts of the American Southwest, to the rainforests in the Pacific Northwest, from waist-deep snowfields of the great Alaska wilderness, to the heat in Death Valley, Rodney has survived everything the earth has thrown at him. He’s even survived a fall off a 30 foot cliff!

Renowned for the vibrant colors and rich textures of his wilderness landscape photography, Rodney is a purist who captures what nature creates, using no color filters or darkroom deception. The world today is a remarkable place full of beauty and splendor,” Rodney exclaims. “To witness the simple grandeur of creation, the miracle of nature, is perhaps all that we need. The peace received while viewing a leaf turned color at the height of fall is immense and divine."
