Where Water Meets the Sky

"Where Water Meets the Sky

Sunsets on their own are incredible. Well, at least I think so. The colors amaze me. So view that beautiful sunset over an ocean and I become speechless as for the words to describe how uplifting the wonder makes me feel. Suddenly, the blue sky becomes an open canvas for the sun to paint on, and the water acts as a mirror to the spectacle. I believe I took about two hundred or so photos with this sunset. I didn't want to miss one single second of it, and wanted to be able to relive the beauty over and over. Although it was getting chilly along the ocean, I insisted on laying down in the sand to get this shot of the foliage on the beach, along with the water and colorful sky. I'm glad that I did, because although my body wasn't feeling great the next few days, I got some great angles I couldn't have otherwise gotten. That's what was important to me. I highly suggest if you have a chance to get to the Pacific Ocean, bring some warm clothes just in case, a lawn chair and your camera, because you'll see an amazing sky show once the sun is ready to set!

The Half Moon

"The Half Moon"

Since as far back as I can remember, the Universe has captivated me. I can vividly remember learning in school that the Sun was a star. That night, I looked up at a sky full of stars and thought "the Sun is the same as those!" Ever since then, I was hooked. I have a need to capture as much of the Universe as I possibly can (and hopefully share the beauty and wonder with you), and understand how and why it works as it does. Astronomy has fueled my love of mathematics and the sciences. I take my camera outside, hoping for a memory of the night's sky to keep forever. Our own moon seems a good start to the journey.

A Blazing End

"A Blazing End"

The sky....I have a love for it beyond words. Whether it be during the day or at night. It holds so much beauty and wonder! Come dawn and dusk, it creates the perfect canvas for light to paint such a masterpiece. I love that they are never the same, and the colors vary so widely. From the bright yellows to the deep purples, a sunset is rarely a let down as far as I'm concerned. Certainly something that takes my breath away, time and time again.
