Here you will find a collection of my landscapes. I have had the pleasure and opportunity to explore some of this world’s many beautiful places. Yet even if I was able to see a new place or two every day for the next 100 years I would miss out on so much of the extraordinary beauty our planet has to offer. I feel fortunate to have seen the places I have and hope to explore more but for now I am happy to explore though the photos of others. I hope that my landscapes will give you the opportunity to glimpse new places and help you dream of a future destination for yourself.
