Photos from a foggy evening in Utah's canyon country back in early January. #utwx

Most people went to Yosemite last week to see the firefall, but I went to see the opposite.

While the eastern half of the country freezes, here's a spectacular late January sunset along the California coast just north of Santa Cruz. From Sunday night 1/25. #cawx

Just a simple photo of the crescent moon with a 600 mm lens. A thin layer of cirrus clouds added some nice texture to the rest of the frame. And the "dark" part of the moon is lit by sunlight reflected back to the moon from the earth.

Thanks Mike! It’s such a neat area.

Thank you!

Scenes from the San Juan Valley in southern Utah- December 2025. Such neat geology in that part of the world.

Thanks!

Golden hour at Monument Valley with a bonus moonrise! From 1/2/2026.

The long December nights have turned California's Central Valley into a sea of fog. But from the hills above the fog, the views are incredible. #cawx

Last night's aurora over the Bay Bridge and skyline of San Francisco. Amazing to see them this far south and through all of the city lights! #cawx

Some late season fall color on a rainy day in the northern Sierra Nevada.

Golden hour at Half Dome- from a late September sunset in the Yosemite high country. I love the lone tree clinging to the cliff to give a sense of scale.

Lightning over the fog-shrouded hills of the California central coast on September 23. It's always a treat when thunderstorms make a rare visit to the west coast, especially when they bring rain with them. #cawx

The fall color in the eastern Sierra Nevada is great right now! Winter is coming though- a storm is forecast to move in on Monday and bring several feet of snow. #cawx

The wild open spaces of the eastern Sierra Nevada are a truly underrated place to see fall color. A few photos from a stormy day in late September.

Yosemite put on a show last weekend with this amazing sunset on Saturday night! #cawx

Just your typical Sunday afternoon in Arizona- a 3000-foot-high wall of dust crossing a mountain range. From 8/31 over the Dragoon Mountains east of Tucson #azwx

Electricity on the ground, electricity in the sky. A storm back on August 21 put out a constant barrage of photogenic, branching lightning over the west valley of Phoenix #azwx

A spectacular rainbow at the Grand Canyon, as seen from Yavapai Point on August 15. It's not every day you can look *down* to see a rainbow, but it happens at the Grand Canyon! #azwx

Thanks Janet!

Thanks Jake!

It's hard to beat the monsoon sunset views from Park Link Road. From 8/20/2025. #azwx

It was an incredible experience!

Planes rush to land and take off before Monday's epic dust storm hit Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. #azwx

Thanks!

A really fun sunset chase last night in southern Pinal County, AZ. Nice to see the monsoon starting to wake up again! #azwx

Lightning illuminates a thunderstorm near Wickenburg, AZ back on August 13. Managed to sneak in a landing point too! #azwx

It's been a quiet monsoon season in Arizona this year, but the sunsets haven't disappointed! From last week in the Superstition Mountains. #azwx

Thanks Jake!
