Thick snow encrusts some pines in the Hart ranges of the Northern Rockies. Northern British Columbia, Canada
The full moon rising over Uluru / Ayres Rock at dusk. Such a beautiful experience to see in person. The kids were playing in the red earth on the side of the road while I set up for this shot. We have been incredibly lucky in our lives to have had the chance to experience so much of what the world has to offer in our short time so far on this planet. Covid has made people all over the world evaluate their priorities in life; hard not to think about ones own mortality in the middle of a pandemic as you watch long enjoyed freedoms being taken away. For us it has been no different. I feel like we are just scratching the surface of what there is to see out there on this great blue ball we all live on. It just makes me more motivated to keep on scratching away ;-) The rock has a circumference of 9.4 km (5.8 miles); it is much bigger than people think and is improbably large when you are standing next to it looking up.
Last light falls on American Border Peak 2,438 m (7,998 ft). The shot is taken looking back towards Canada after hiking up to Artist Point in the Mount Baker Wilderness Area. The US Canadian border runs through the high saddle to the left of the peak. Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, Washington State, USA
