The Taro fields of Hanalei II, Kauai, Hawai'i

The Taro fields of Hanalei, Kauai, HI

On my way back from shooting the sunrise at the old pier of Hanalei bay, I stopped to capture this peaceful scene.

Mono Lake sunrise - South Tufa

I like how the water reflects the clouds, yet is also transparent enough that one can see the bottom of the lake.

The sky too is on fire - Valley of fire state park, NV

Don't miss this stop at the Valley of fire state park if you ever drive your way back from Page/Zion to Las Vegas, and vice versa. I was lucky to witness such an incredible sky that day, but the valley by itself is already well worth a visit.

I'll admit this is not the most creative composition, but hey, I just had to take my own version while I was in Page, just for the sake of it, after seeing so many horseshoe bend shots.

I was mad at the boat on the right side of the river at first, but all in all, I think it gives a sense of scale. This place is really grandiose. It gave me the willies as I was trying to get as close as I could, in order to capture most of it.

Upper Antelope canyon #2 - monument valley

Some call this "monument valley" because the shape of the sandstone reminds that of a mitten.

Visiting Upper Antelope Canyon between Christmas and New year's eve was definitely not a fun experience due to the flow of tourists - i was obviously one of those - who are gathered in this pretty narrow place at the same time. I even managed to break my tripod, as I was rushing to get a shot before tour guides start kicking me out. All i was left with, was a gimpy tripod ;)
Regardless, the place is really precious. Glad I had a chance to visit.
