Arches National Park is such a wonderful little spot located north of Moab UT. This park is home to over 2000 of the natural sandstone arches and visiting some of the most famous arches in the park can take quite a fair bit of time. During our visit to Moab a good bit of time was taken by some of the landmark locations like delicate arch, the fins, turret arch, etc. and we only had a mid morning time slot to visit the stunning North Window arch.
The North Windoe is basically a giant hole in a whuge sandstone wall and is famous for a view of the turret arch through the window. Unfortunately, we visited during a time when the shadow of the turret arch was not favorable for that composition. So, I Settled for a nice shot of the north window against the backdrop of the vivid blue sky.
You might be wondering how all this came about? This was one of those perfect mornings that started as a complete chaos! At the very end, low hanging clouds and sun cutting the thick fog at the horizon were enough to make me forget all occurring problems I was having at that time. Without going in too many details I will let the view speak for it self. What do you think?

You heard this one before? I always get a good laugh when I hear people being surprised with the snow storm in December. I was also pretty bummed when I saw that the snow finally arrived and I wasn’t able to be out and enjoy it! This is a frame from the last, long and cold winter just for todays mood. It was shot from the one and only NA Beach. What do you think?
Is it already over? Judging by today’s temperature it certainly feels like it! But I’ve heard that there is some more snow coming in this weekend so we should all get ready for some more shooting and fun. This is the early morning shot from Saturday at the N.Avenue Beach. What do you think?

On September 26th I had actually hoped to photograph the full moon in Vancouver, not even realising that there was a lunar eclipse going on. Interestingly, the red moon seemed a lot brighter in the photos than in real life. Here the moon is rising behind the science Centre on False Creek.

Early morning blue hour in Porto as the mist is lifting over the Douro river.
Built between 1932 and 1958, St Columba’s Cathedral is the principal church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Argyll and the Isles. It was built in a neo-Gothic style of highly distinctive pink Peterhead and blue Inverawe granite. The Bell Tower soars above the cathedral which is located on the sea front at the northern end of Oban creating a distinctive landmark for vessels arriving or departing from the Port.

An unsual viaduct like structure to the West end of Oporto contrasting against the traditional architechture on the left, spanning the river Douro it provides a quicker way for traffic to enter and exit the City, the riverside on the left carries the restored electric tramway, but everybody appears to drive over it anyway, and even parking on it seemingly anywhere regardless of the trams...
The viaduct leads into the City buildings in the distance in the district of Vila Nova de Gaia.

Vu de la crevasse, à l'origine de la grotte!
I’ve heard stories about weather in Chicago, and today I was able to experience so many extremes weather wise that I had to stay outside the entire day and shoot more than 10 hours, on several different locations. I was deliberating on going back to this location tonight because of the storm that was brewing. Boy, I’m glad I did! In just under two hours I was able to witness the crazy thunderstorms , double rainbow and the sunset that was beyond anything I saw before. I hope I was able to manage to capture everything and I can’t wait to show it to you. For the beginning, this is a lucky shot of the lightning that was an opening for this crazy evening. What do you think?
Have you been chasing light last night? I sure had my hopes high and at the end in the typical Chicago style sunset changed it’s course and the color didn’t hit with the full potential. But I am happy with the final result. As you can see I went with the long exposure this time just because I was able to find my ND’s after six month search. And guess what? They were hiding in the plain site all this time :) What do you think?
