The image was taken at Mather Point at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The sun had not quite peeked her head over the horizon, but her preceding glow was beginning to cast light upon the canyon, creating a beautiful and colorful scene.

Point Vicente Lighthouse standing on a grassy cliff overlooking the channel that separates it from Santa Catalina Island off the coast of Southern California. A tall palm tree stands behind the 67 foot tower, its palm branches blowing in the wind.

Black and white image of the San Diego skyline taken from the edge of Centennial park across the San Diego Bay on North Island. There is a beautiful blue hue left in the sky to separate it from the cityscape and, in between two of the buildings, the viewer can see a commercial airplane coming in for a landing to San Diego airport.

Against a soft blue sky with complementary soft wispy clouds stands the Desert View Watchtower, its lower levels upstaged by the spring greenery in front. The structure sits over the Grand Canyon South Rim with spectacular views of the Colorado River close by.

A view of the Tuzigoot National Monument pueblo from the top looking down the hillside upon which it sits in the Verde Valley of Arizona. The grass beyond the monument is as verdant as the valley for which it is named and the outline of the stone masonry is inspiring and intricate.

San Diego's skyline rises along the waterfront, its varied towers set against a bright open sky. From across the water, you can enjoy the contrast between the city's dense vertical profile and the bay's broad sweep. The monochrome treatment gives the scene a crisp, graphic character, setting pale facades against dark window bands. Taller buildings draw your eye upward, while lower structures spread along the shore and keep the skyline feeling approachable. Textured water offers a calm foreground, bringing your attention back to the changing rooflines. There is pleasure in tracing the differences, from slim high-rises to blockier towers, while still taking in the waterfront as a whole. It feels like a view worth lingering over, with enough detail to invite another look and enough open space to let the horizon breathe.
