Out Of The EarthA tremendous flow of lava erupts from the Bardarbunga volcano in Iceland

A lonely road winds through the wild

but I will remember it forever

High alpine wildflowers abound during the summer months in the Oregon Cascades

Ancient dry lake beds below sea level occasionally flood in Death Valley

light bounces off the sandstone walls creating a wonderful glow

and I'm grateful for it

My friend Cody Wilson's water bottle is hiding in this shot

I noticed the soles of my shoes and the feet of my tripod had melted

and soaking

One of the best things about Iceland is just going for a drive and randomly discovering areas of pure magic just off the side of the road such as this wonderful waterfall

It will forever be a reminder of the amazing things I've seen and the wonderful people I've met through photography

And then I got lucky
