I drove out the the desert with some friends in the middle of a heatwave. The good part was that there wasn’t a soul out there. The bad part was 30 mph winds smacking us in the face with 115 degree heat. It was so hot that the coolant in the Jeep was boiling the whole time.

We only had time for a quick detour into Death Valley National Park on our way home from the Eastern Sierras. After spending most of our trip under overcast skies and in freezing temperatures, DVNP was a shock to our systems. Even under the brightest sun, this place is all about layers and textures and color. I look forward to seeing it again.

My first stop always at Death Valley National Park, Zabriskie Point. From this beautiful and texture-rich vantage point one can admire the dramatic geological features this immense park has to offer.

We found a young koyote hunting in death valley. As we took the pictures it walked in our direction and we had to get back in our car to stay safe. It watched us carefully all time long.

We drove trough a desert in Death Valley as we found three coyotes relaxing from their hunt. As I took the photos the coyote watched me carefully. As he stood up and walked in my directon I had to elude. The situation got even more dangerous as the other two also came in my direction. I watched them carefully and backed out to get back in the car which was about 50 ft behind me. The coyotes followed me. As we drove away the coyotes still watched us.

We left Las Vegas in the middle of the night, reaching the dunes, an hour before sunrise. There was only one other car in the parking lot. We walked out to find the highest set of dunes to watch the sunrise.

We were roadtripping through California with a couple of friends. We stepped out of the cars and started climbing the mountains to find the perfect view. My friend didn’t notice me taking pictures. I like Lukas watching over the mountains in Death Valley. A perfect reminder of a perfect day.

There’s something magical about spending a night in the desert. Everything around you is quiet, peaceful. Looking at the stars, I tried to find a place where I could combine the beauty of the sky and the speeding cars passing by.

With a fire ban in the area, we needed a different nighttime activity to relax after the sun went down. Luckily, Alabama Hills has so many rocks that can be used as projector screens. Thanks to a battery-powered projector, we were able to up our ‘glamping’ game and have a movie night under the stars.

A fire and friends are all you need for a great evening, but some hot cinnamon tea and bourbon doesn’t hurt. I wanted to capture the feeling of camping out under the stars with a fire, but the vast difference in light intensity between the fire and the stars made this image impossible to create in camera. The solution is to merge two exposures, one for the fire in the foreground, and one for the stars in the sky.

I drove from 1am to 6am to make it up to Mammoth to reach this mountain range before sunrise. I was able to make it on this beautiful clear morning before the sunrise and ran around trying to find the perfect angle and then I came across this perfect moment of the sun just peeking over and hitting Mount Whitney.

I drove 5 hours from 1am to 6am to capture this mountain range in the morning light. I was able to get there before the sunrise and the snow on the mountains lit up for me. The sacrifice is always worth it

A 16-mile round trip hike up to Mt. Baldy led us through forests, patches of snow, and ski lifts operating in May. As the highest peak in the region, the views made every mile worth it.

My wife’s family spends every Thanksgiving together, somewhere new each year. The family has grown so much that we rented the entire Sky Forest Inn this year. It’s in Sky Forest, CA near Big Bear, about two hours outside of LA. We had these clouds almost the entire time. This one is at sunset, the day before Thanksgiving.

One of the things that draw me back to Yosemite is the overwhelming scale of the granite walls. There are places on earth that in one moment humble your perspective and remind you of how small you really are. There is a special beauty in being among giants.

We found this cross on a field trip with our grandson at the top of Mount Rubidoux and thought it was so amazing… the way it was displayed for the entire City to see! “Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.” —Matthew 5:15

Out in Yucca Valley, by Joshua Tree is one of my favorite outdoor art installations by Noah Purifoy. You get to wander around a pretty desolate area and explore this surreal and eerie site.
