Birchwood Farmstead
Beyond the red timber bridge that stretches over the River Coe in the Scottish Highlands, the old farmstead of Ach'nam Beithach (the Field of Birchwood) sits at the northwest base of Aonach Dubh (Black Ridge) as a waterfall-teemed stream tumbles down then alongside grazing sheep.

"Storm Approaching Cliffs of Moher" ~ Dark clouds and rain showers approach the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, Ireland. Moments later this storm was directly above, pouring rain and cutting the visibility to nearly nil. O’Brien’s Tower on the right was built by Cornelius O’Brien as an observation tower way back in 1835 and was recently restored. The cliffs have since been given the prestigious recognition as a Global Geopark by the United Nations (UNESCO). The cliffs are as tall as 702’ (214m), stretching over 5 miles (8km). NOTE: SmugMug limits file sizes to 48 megapixels and does not provide a non-cropped print option for 4:1 panoramics. This multi-frame stitched photo has an aggregate size of 121 megapixels, with dimensions of 22000x5500. Thus, prints of this photo up to 15"x60" are available exclusively through my gallery on Imagekind.. Archival-quality prints are available on paper or canvas. I am currently looking for on-demand printers that offer prints larger than 60" wide.

"North Shore Seascape" ~ In the late summer of 2010, I had the amazing opportunity to spend a week on the beautiful Hawaiian Island of Kaua'i. One day along the way to a kayaking tour in Hanalei Bay, my friends and I made a brief stop at the Kilauea Point National Wildlife refuge to check out the historic lighthouse. On the walk back to the car, I noticed this beautiful vista of the north shore of Kaua'i, looking westward toward Princeville. The cloud formations over the mountain with mid-morning lighting was simply perfect. More often than not, it's the shots that I don't plan for that end up being the "keepers."
