The American Dream
On July 2nd, 2021 I made my way up to American Basin,CO along The Alpine Loop Scenic Byway to capture the springtime flower blume below Handies Peak. After arriving to this location mid day I was caught in a rain storm for 3 hrs straight making it impossible to photograph.About 1 hr before sunset the storm started clearing and the magic started happening and right at sunset the fog rolled in and out of the basin and the sky exploded with color. This was my first and only time I have ever shot here sometimes you get lucky!

Serenity
In the winter of 2023 in Arizona I traveled to The Grand Canyon 6 different trips in a short period of time. It had record amounts of snowfall making for unreal conditions.As I parked my vehicle and started hiking out to the edge of the canyon I had a feeling it was going to be amazing with just how much new snow had fallen over night which was approximately 2.5 feet.As the morning light came and some of the fog started clearing I was in awe of the grand scene in front of me I quickly composed this shot and captured my favorite Grand Canyon Winter image to date.

Autumn Splendor
A blazing sunset during Autumn erupts over Capitol Peak located in the Elk Mountain Range,Colorado.Capitol Peak is a high and prominent mountain summit in the Elk Mountains range of theRocky Met's of North America. It is the 52nd highest mountain in North America. The 14,137-foot fourteener is located in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness of White River National Forest,
Capitol Peak is one of the most difficult of Colorado's fourteeners to climb. The only non-technical route, the Northeast Ridge, requires crossing the famously exposed "Knife Edge".

Seasons Greetings
An Iconic place to photograph during the Fall Color season in Colorado is The Crystal Mill.I have photographed this mill many times over the years but my dream was to always capture it with Fall colors and fresh snowfall.At the beginning of Oct 2023 I checked the weather forecast and it showed that a huge winter storm was going to happen and made my way up to this area.My only hesitation about not wanting to drive out to the mill was the dangerous 4 mile mountain road that leads to it.Its dangerous enough with no snow let alone 5 inches of fresh snow on the rd.I took the chance on the morning of Oct 12th and slowly made the drive out and when I cam upon the scene I was blown away at the beauty of the 2 seasons meeting.
Crystal Mill or the Old Mill is an 1892 wooden powerhouse located on an outcrop above the Crystal River in Crystal, Colorado. It is accessible from Marble, Colorado via 4x4. Although called a Watermill, it is more correctly denoted as a compressor station, which used a water turbine to drive an air compressor, and was originally built with a horizontal wheel. The compressed air was then used to power other machinery or tools.

Autumn Ripples
An early snowstorm during Fall adds the perfect contrast against the dark pine trees and the vibrant yellow Aspen Trees along McClure Pass.
McClure Pass is a 8,770 foot high mountain pass that is traversed along the West Elk Loop Scenic Byway in western Colorado. It resides between the towns of Redstone and Somerset, nearby Carbondale and Paonia, respectively. With panoramic views of some of the state's most dramatic wilderness areas, McClure Pass is a great place to stop and camp or explore along State Highway 133.The Ute Indians are among the first known humans to use McClure Pass while inhabiting the Crystal and Muddy Valleys. In 1776 Spanish settlers began exploring the area, which would be later settled by miners, farmers and ranchers.

Desert Oasis
For many years I dreamt of visiting Havasupai Falls located in remote canyon in NW Arizona. In November 2023 I finally was able to get a permit to hike here.After 4 days of photographing I came away with this image showing the red rock canyons, lush green forest and aqua blue water that reminded me of Hawaii it was truly paradise in the middle of the desert.
A fun fact about Havasupai Falls is that calcium carbonate and magnesium occur naturally in the waters that feed Havasupai Falls,Mooney Falls & Beaver Falls. The waters get their blue color from the magnesium. As the pools deepen, the calcium carbonate is slowly released from the water, creating blue water that becomes more brilliant as the relative magnesium content increases.

Wind Catchers
The South shore of Molokai has the most unique Palm Trees. I scouted this Beach "One Ali'i Park" during the day and on my last night I came here for sunset as I watched these palm trees blow in the wind and the sky light up over the island of Lani in the distance.
In the Hawaiian language, oneali'i means "royal sands." The beach park is named after an ancient Hawaiian fishpond. Two stone monuments in the park mark the 75th and 100th anniversaries of Japanese immigration to Hawaii.

Sacred Waters
There is nothing quite like the North Shore of Kauai where you can find lush green rainforest a pristine waterfall that meets the Pacific Ocean at sunset. Queens Bath lends itself to capture so many of natures elements in one frame a perfect location for a classic Hawaiian sunset.The Newly Recognized Queen's Bath is a unique tide pool on the island of Kauai. The pool is a sinkhole surrounded by igneous rock. It is located on the north shore of Kauaʻi in the town of Princeville, Small fish and tiny sea life also live in the tide pool, such as Hawaiʻian sea urchins, angelfish and the so-called "ghost fish".Only after the original site on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi was destroyed did the location on Kauai become better known as "Queen's Bath". This tide pool was used for what it sounds like; it was a royal bathing place. It was also used as a place of relaxation when an Aliʻi needed to "wash off the stress".
The original "Queen's Bath" was located in Kalapana on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. It was formed after a lavatube collapsed and filled with fresh water supplied by natural springs. In ancient times only the Aliʻi (Royalty) were permitted entry to the sacred waters. In 1983 Kilauea erupted and in 1987 the original site was destroyed by lava flow.Only after the original site on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi was destroyed did the location on Kauai become better known as "Queen's Bath".

Makua Gold
On this evening all the conditions came together to create a stunning sunset along the shores of the famous Tunnels Beach,Kauai. I have shot here many times over the years and can definitely say this is my favorite shot of this location to date. MÄkua Beach, also called Tunnels Beach for its caves and winter waves, is one of the most gorgeous beaches in all Hawai'i. Situated at the eastern end of the NÄ Pali Coast, MÄkua's turquoise water, verdant cliffs and spectacular white sand beach was the film site for South Pacific.Originally an ancient Hawaiian settlement, MÄkua was inhabited from roughly 1000 A.D. until the 1800s. A large, protected archaeological complex remains a short distance away at Ha'ena Beach Park, which includes house sites, burials, and storage pits. The remains of an ancient fishpond called Loko Ke'e can still be seen today. Tunnels Beach, Kauai is a beach you definitely don't want to pass up.

Valley Of The Kings
Waipio Valley is easily my favorite location to shoot wave photography in Hawaii the contrast between black sand beach,blue water along with the lush green valley makes for stunning images.
According to oral histories as few as 4,000 or as many as 10,000 people lived in Waipi'o during the times before the arrival of Captain Cook in 1778; Waipi'o was the most fertile and productive valley on the Big Island of Hawaii.It was at Waipio in 1780 that Kamehameha the Great received his war god Kukailimoku who proclaimed him the future ruler of the islands. It was off the coast of Waimanu, near Waipio, that Kamehameha engaged Kahekili, the Lord of the leeward islands, and his half-brother, Kaeokulani of Kaua'i, in the first naval battle in Hawaiian historyâKepuwahaulaula, known as the Battle of the Red-Mouthed Guns. Kamehameha thus began his conquest of the islands.In the late 1800s, many Chinese immigrants settled in the valley. At one time the valley had churches, restaurants, and schools as well as a hotel, post office, and jail. But in 1946, the most devastating tsunami in Hawaii's history swept great waves far back into the valley. Afterward, most people left the valley, and it has been sparsely populated ever since.A severe deluge in 1979 covered the valley from side to side in four feet of water. Today only about 50 people live in the Waipio Valley. These are taro farmers, fishermen, and others who are reluctant to leave their simple lifestyle.

Winters Embrace
Leaving The South Rim of The Grand Canyon this Winter storm made for amazing conditions to shoot these Ponderosa Pine Trees. The wind gust were around 30mph, snow blowing everywhere & backlit morning light.I quickly pulled over when I saw this scene unfold in front of me. I jumped out of my truck and was able to take only 5 images before this soft, beautiful atmosphere disappeared...sometimes you get lucky.

Snow Ghost
After many years of trying to capture a Bison in a huge winter storm my persistent finally paid off on this particular morning. Driving through The Grand Teton National Park the temperatures where in the 20's with a good amount of wind and it had snowed 4 inches overnight making for perfect conditions. As I continued through the park I couldn't believe my eyes as I saw this Bison 15 yards from the road covered from head to toe in snow. I immediately pulled over and starting shooting and came away with this once and lifetime image.

I would put it next to the Big Sur coast in terms of the sheer beauty that you pass as you drive through it.If you have not driven this road then you must add it to your bucket list, it is one of the best places in California.

Fire In The Sky
On this morning I was greeted with one of the most incredible sunrises I have ever seen in my life.A storm formed right over the East and West Mittens in Monument Valley lighting up the Verga rain shafts creating a sense and color of a fire in the sky.Monument Valley, home to some of the most recognizable icons of the desert Southwest, covers an area of 40 by 50 miles. This famous valley in Navajo Country, was introduced to Americans as a backdrop for many of Hollywood's western movies and countless television commercials.The Mittens, as well as other valley buttes and mesas, rise up hundreds of feet from the valley floor near border of Utah and Arizona. Sometimes these red rock features are referred to as timeless and enduring. A recorded geological event at the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park reminds us that these monuments are finite and cannot escape the forces of gravity and erosion. On May 18, 2006 a huge slab on the East Mitten butte came loose and made a thunderous roar as it tumbled down the talus slope. A dust cloud welled up and enveloped the magnificent butte, shocking those visitors that looked on.

In the early 1900s work began to extend the pier, and it was eventually lengthened to 340 feet in 1912. In 1921 the legislature authorized $25,000 for a new concrete deck, as the wooden deck was too difficult to maintain in the tropical climate. Conney and Morris were selected as contractors, and finished the construction of the new deck by the end of 1922. A shed roof was constructed at the far end of the pier in the 1940s.The pier has been a gathering place for the citizens of Hanalei since it was abandoned for shipping in 1933.The pier was heavily damaged in 1992 as a result of Hurricane Iniki. In 2012-2013, the canopy at the end of the pier was restored. The Hanalei Rotary Club raised over $170,000 to restore the neglected canopy in a program coined "Save the Pier.

Face Of Pele
On this morning I walked past a gentleman who was filling up a cast iron mold with the fresh lava flowing on the ground to make lava face molds. Within a few minutes of me watching him do this he accidentally broke an edge on one of the molds and immediately tossed it into the lava I happen to walk over to it looked down and captured this one of kind shot. The active lava flowed around the broken mold making it look like hair around the face hence the image name "Face of Pele". In Hawaiian religion, Pele (pronounced [ËpÉlÉ]) is the goddess of volcanoes and fire and the creator of the Hawaiian Islands. Often referred to as "Madame Pele" or "TÅ«tÅ« Pele" as a sign of respect, she is a well-known deity within Hawaiian mythology and is notable for her contemporary presence and cultural influence as an enduring figure from ancient Hawaii.Epithets of the goddess include Pele-honua-mea ("Pele of the sacred land") and Ka wahine Ê»ai honua

Sands Of Time
Antelope Canyon, which is known by the Navajo as "The place where water runs through rocks," was formed over the course of hundreds of years by water that ran through sandstone. The upper part of the canyon is at around 4,000 feet elevation, with walls that rise 120 feet above its streambed. The canyon is unique in that its entrance and the entirety of its length are accessible at ground level, which means that tourists need not climb to experience its wonder and beauty.

Classic Horseshoe Bend Sunset
A vibrant sunset explodes over Horeshow Bend making for a classic Arizona Sunset.The Colorado River started to cut through endless layers of rock, and when it ran into Horseshoe Bend, it creates this natural, sculptural landscape. The river eventually went around it, and now there is a 270-degree bend in the river which created the now-famous horseshoe shape.Young-Earth creationists (YEC) claim that Horseshoe Bend in Arizona was carved by the Colorado River soon after Noah's Flood had deposited sedimentary rocks during the year of the Flood about 4,400 years ago. Its receding waters are what entrenched the Colorado River in a U-shaped horseshoe bend.

"Touched" Gore Mountain Rage - Fine Art Limited Edition of 100
On June 20th 2018 a storm dumped a foot of snow in Summit County covering the Gore Mountain Range in fresh snow. Knowing the lupine flowers bloom in June that afternoon I drove out just north of Silverthorne hiking the hillsides looking for a field of lupines. To my luck I found this beautiful field but the flowers were covered in 2 inches of snow and the mountains were blocked by the clouds. So I checked the weather for the next morning and came back at 5am for sunrise. As the sun came up it touched the tips of the mountains I clicked the shutter button and captured this unique scene of Winter and Spring colliding.

On June 20th, 2018, a storm dumped a foot of snow in Summit County covering the image of the Gore Mountain Range in fresh snow. Knowing the lupine flowers bloom in June, that afternoon I drove out just north of Silverthorne, hiking the hillsides looking for a field of lupines. To my luck, I found this beautiful field but the flowers were covered in two inches of snow and the mountains were blocked by the clouds. So I checked the weather for the next morning and came back at 5 am for sunrise. As the sun came up, it touched the tips of the mountains. I clicked the shutter button and captured this unique scene of Winter and Spring colliding. Photo © copyright by Nick Selway.

If you have never heard the term "lava flow skylight" before, they are "openings in the roof above a lava tube, from where the flowing lava flow can be seen under ground making it way to the ocean as seen in this image. A lava tube is a type of lava cave formed when a low-viscosity lava flow develops a continuous and hard crust, which thickens and forms a roof above the still-flowing lavastream. Tubes form in one of two ways: either by the crusting over of lava channels , or from pÄhoehoe flows where the lava is moving under the surface.
