Title: Golden Hour Located just downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River sits one of Mother Nature's most beautiful sights, the Horseshoe Bend. It's arguably one of the world's most amazing watercourse meanders, flowing beneath the magnificent hematite, platinum and garnet-encrusted cliffs of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. As the sun set below the horizon, a dynamic spectacle appeared as if the sky was about to erupt into a fiery blaze. I experienced a rush of emotions as I pressed the shutter, capturing the true beauty of this magnificent natural wonder. It was an epic moment I will never forget.

Title: Serenity The need for adventure and solitude took me on a journey to one of Mother Earth`s most beautiful hidden canyons. Deep inside an enchanting rainforest lies a spectacular moss, lichen and fern-clad slot canyon. A unique ecosystem that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. To reach this hidden gorge I had to wade up a creek in waist-deep water and climb an extremely treacherous log jam at the mouth of the canyon. Beyond the log jam, the gorge opened up and revealed a fairy tail scene out of this world. Untouched by modern civilization. I felt like I had entered the world of Avatar. The serenity of the scene made me breathless.

Title: Valhalla Rising Throughout the previous day, I had been watching the changing weather, feeling that something extraordinary was going to happen. Sleep did not come easy. I spent hours in anticipation of what might unfold in the field. I hiked up a mountain path in the middle of the night and arrived at a cliff ledge 2000 feet above the majestic Lysefjord. I balanced my camera on the edge of the cliff and waited patiently. I knew the light would change quickly so I needed to be ready. Just as the sun pierced the horizon an incredible glow illuminated the scene. The golden light gave the scene a really special mood. My heart raced as I pressed the shutter capturing the raw beauty of this natural wonder.

Title: Zeus A certain time of year the sun will set at the perfect angle and illuminate the Kjerag mountain wall and the raging waterfall in luminescent orange and red, resembling a wall of molten lava. As the light catches the water it creates a glowing, fiery phenomenon. I used various visual elements-elements of design; line, shape, color, texture, pattern, form and space to create an optical illusion of the Greek god Zeus lightning bolt. In ancient Greek religion, Zeus was the chief deity of the pantheon, a sky and weather god who was identical with the Roman god Jupiter. He was regarded as the sender of thunder and lightning, rain, and winds, and his traditional weapon was the thunderbolt. He was often referred to as the "Father of Gods and men.
